Background

I have a Phoenix LiveView App inside an umbrella project which is basically a HelloWorld project.
In This Phoenix App is special though, in that it is a Desktop App:

My Phoenix app does not use Ecto nor any DB, so I had to add the usual PubSub line to the supervision tree in application.ex.

Problem

Everything works as expected, except when I close the application. Upon closing it I get an error:

12:19:22.507 [error] GenServer #PID<0.553.0> terminating

Here is my application.ex file:

defmodule WebInterface.Application do
  # See https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Application.html
  # for more information on OTP Applications
  @moduledoc false

  use Application

    alias Desktop

  @impl true
  def start(_type, _args) do
    children = [
      WebInterface.Telemetry,
      WebInterface.Endpoint,
      {Phoenix.PubSub, name: WebInterface.PubSub},
      {Desktop.Window,
       [
         app: :web_interface,
         id: WebInterface,
         title: "Web Interface",
         size: {600, 500},
         menubar: WebInterface.MenuBar,
         url: &WebInterface.Endpoint.url/0
       ]}
    ]

    opts = [strategy: :one_for_one, name: WebInterface.Supervisor]
    Supervisor.start_link(children, opts)
  end

  @impl true
  def config_change(changed, _new, removed) do
    WebInterface.Endpoint.config_change(changed, removed)
    :ok
  end
end

What am I doing wrong?

You should probably start pubsub before the endpoint… the order matters

Hello, How to check Pubsub is started or not? Because I have a genserver sends data to my database, but I need to check Pubsub is started or not, if not I can return my genserver with a timeout until it is started.

Update

I found it, I thought Process.whereis just accepts pid

If you are getting the error:

(ArgumentError) unknown registry: AuctionWeb.PubSub

while trying to follow “Phoenix in Action 1.4”, then you are in luck! Go here:
