UndefinedFunctionError when creating LiveView

Questions / Help
1

Hello, I’m trying to create my first LiveView

I have

router.ex

scope "/", TestWeb do
  pipe_through :browser
  live "/app", AppLive
end

app_live.ex

defmodule TestWeb.AppLive do
  use TestWeb, :live_view
  
  def render(assigns) do
    ~H"""
    test
    """
  end

  def mount(_params, _session, _socket) do
  end
end

but I get

UndefinedFunctionError at GET /app

function TestWeb.AppLive.__live__/0 is undefined (module TestWeb.AppLive is not available)

Can you share a code ob TestWeb module please? It appears that the project was generated without live_view support

I don’t really have other TestWeb module other than the standards modules generate by phx.new (I used phx.new 1.7.6 so I think there is LiveView support by default ?)

I have this for example

defmodule TestWeb.AppController do
  use TestWeb, :controller
end

defmodule TestWeb.PageController do
  use TestWeb, :controller

  def home(conn, _params) do
    # The home page is often custom made,
    # so skip the default app layout.
    render(conn, :home, layout: false)
  end
end

No, you have TestWeb module. It should be located at lib/test_web.ex

Yes I have

defmodule TestWeb do
  @moduledoc """
  The entrypoint for defining your web interface, such
  as controllers, components, channels, and so on.

  This can be used in your application as:

      use TestWeb, :controller
      use TestWeb, :html

  The definitions below will be executed for every controller,
  component, etc, so keep them short and clean, focused
  on imports, uses and aliases.

  Do NOT define functions inside the quoted expressions
  below. Instead, define additional modules and import
  those modules here.

Where did you put module TestWeb.AppLive?

7

In test/lib/test_web/live/app_live.ex

8

Maybe I have the same error that this issue Live Components suddenly not compiling, app crashing with UndefinedFunctionError ?

[No working]

9

By creating a new app (without database) I have no longer this warning: Couldn't watch /home/computer/test: Too many open files (can be a link ?)
And it’s working

10

That’s definitely not a solution. What happens when you actually do add it?

Also you never followed up on your other thread about the too many open files – there is a solution but it seems you either did not pursue it, or have not updated the thread.
