Thanks. I think mix ecto.setup is now working, I just need to remove the duplicate aliases/0 entry in the app/foo’s mix.exs file.
The only problem now is that I can’t recreate a fresh installation of a working umbrella app with a phoenix app under it. Here’s what I did and the error I encountered:
mix new umbrella --umbrella
cd umbrella/apps
mix new baz
mix phx.new foo #fetch and install dependencies [n]
cd foo
mix phauxth.new --confirm --remember
cd ../../
mix deps.get
iex -S mix phx.server
I did not modify any mix.exs files or add aliases yet. I didn’t create the DB either, I just wanted to get the phoenix server up and running first from the root umbrella directory.
Here’s a snippet of the error during compilation.
Generated phoenix_ecto app
