Redirect with plug in router

I am trying to use the Router file to redirect all users to the login page if they are not logged in and I figured I could do that by using plug. My setup is the following:

Router

defmodule Voicer.Router do
  use Voicer.Web, :router
  alias Voicer.Plugs.Authenticate

  pipeline :browser do
    plug :accepts, ["html"]
    plug :fetch_session
    plug :fetch_flash
    plug :protect_from_forgery
    plug :put_secure_browser_headers
    plug Authenticate
  end

  #This following doesn't really matter

end

Plug

defmodule Voicer.Plugs.Authenticate do
  import Phoenix.Controller, only: [redirect: 2]
  import Plug.Conn, only: [halt: 1]
  import Voicer.Helpers
  alias Voicer.Router.Helpers, as: Helper

  def init(default), do: default

  def call(conn, _opts) do
      if !is_logged_in?(conn) do
        conn
        |> redirect(Helper.session_path(conn, :new))
        |> halt()
      else
        conn
      end
  end

end

Voicer.Helpers

defmodule Voicer.Helpers do
  alias Plug.Conn, as: Connection

  def is_logged_in?(conn) do
    Connection.get_session(conn, :username) != nil
  end

  def get_username!(conn) do
    Connection.get_session(conn, :username)
  end

end

Now when I try to use this I get an error on this code:

def call(conn, _opts) do
    if !is_logged_in?(conn) do
      conn
      |> redirect(Helper.session_path(conn, :new)) # The error is spawned here.
      |> halt()
    else
      conn
    end
end

And the error log is:

Request: GET /

I am using Phoenix 1.2.5 for now.

Am I doing something wrong with my plug creation?

Redirect takes a keyword as second parameters…

Maybe try this

|> redirect(to: Helper.session_path(conn, :new))
