I’m testing the product_service for my API and I’m getting this error:
** (FunctionClauseError) no function clause matching in Ecto.Changeset.cast/4
when attempting to create or update an object.
Here’s the code:
product_service_test.exs
defmodule Warehouse.ProductServiceTest do

end
describe " ProductService.create_or_update_product " do
test 'creates a product' do
{:ok, atomized_product} = Morphix.atomorphiform(product())
ProductService.create_or_update_product(atomized_product)
assert Repo.one(from p in "products", select: count(p.id)) == 1
end
test 'updates a product' do
{:ok, product_created} = ProductService.create_or_update_product(product())
product_changed = Map.replace!(product(), :title, "new title")
{:ok, product_updated} = ProductService.create_or_update_product(product_changed)
assert product_updated.id == product_created.id
assert product_updated.title == "new title"
end

Seems like Elixir is matching a Ecto.Changeset.cast/3 into a Ecto.Changeset.cast/4 adding an empty array as the 4th parameter. This is happening in every test with ecto, is working fine in the API, I have no idea what is causing this.

I think the problem is with the first argument, actually. It should probably be a product struct instead of plain map in your case.
What does
get_product_by_external_code/1return? SinceProductRepo.update_product(product, valid_product_to_update)since to be getting two maps according to the stacktrace?
