Hello everyone. I’m currently following an Elixir course, and I’ve run into an error stating that the Routes module is undefined. The course I’m following is quite outdated as it was published in 2016. I’ve spent an hour searching for solutions, but I’m still clueless about how to troubleshoot this problem.
new.html.eex
<%= Form.form_for @changeset, Routes.topic_path(@conn, :create), fn f -> %>
<%= Form.text_input(f, :topic_title) %>
<%= Form.submit "Save Topic" %>
<% end %>
This is the error I’ve encountered
UndefinedFunctionError at GET/topics/new
function Routes.topic_path/2 is undefined (module Routes is not available)
Where Next?

Hello and welcome.
Recently Phoenix has moved from Routes helpers to verified routes…
https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix/blob/main/guides/routing.md
You might also have issues converting old code to the new version.
