Try to solve but failed. Help to solve this issue?

I understand from the error message that you are passing a keywords list instead of a Map. Could you share the code?

3

First try doing rm -rf _build and then recompiling.

Correct. mix still has some bugs that don’t replace _build when it should, this is always a good starting point.

Yes, I thought too but mentioned file does not contain keywords list.

defmodule EvercamMediaWeb.EmailView do
  use EvercamMediaWeb, :view

  def full_name(user) do
    "#{user.firstname} #{user.lastname}"
  end

  def get_user_name(email) do
    email
    |> User.by_username_or_email
    |> User.get_fullname
  end
end

This is the file mentioned in error description.

Same error.

7

The cause of the issue is not in the module, but in one of the templates, which is compiled into the module (or at least should be).

Yep, it’s some template that contains the text </strong> with them. Nice one !</p> for note.

To be more precise, I believe the bug is actually in the template enginie. They may have been relying on some assumptions about how EEx works that may no longer be true in v1.8.

OK, I found the issue. This error happens due to if-condition in my template. When I removed that condition it start working.

<p class="lead" style="line-height: 1.6; margin: 0 0 10px; padding: 0;">Hi <%= @user.firstname %>,</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.6; margin: 0 0 10px; padding: 0;">This is just to let you know that <%= @sharee %> has accepted your request to share the camera <strong><%= @camera.name %></strong> with them. Nice one !</p>

<%= if @thumbnail_available do %>
  <br>
  <img src="cid:snapshot.jpg" alt='Camera Preview' style="width: 100%; display:block; margin:0 auto;" >
<% end %>

Error occurred on <%= if @thumbnail_available do %>. what change it requires in 1.8?

I found a solution for this issue. I just moved if-condition from template to view and then used that function in the template.

email_view.ex

def image_tag(has_thumbnail) do
        case has_thumbnail do
          true -> "<br><img src='cid:snapshot.jpg' alt='Camera Preview' style='width: 100%; display:block; margin:0 auto;' >"
          _ -> ""
        end
      end

template.html.eex

<p style="line-height: 1.6; margin: 0 0 10px; padding: 0;">This is just to let you know that <%= @sharee %> has accepted your request to share the camera with them. Nice one !</p>
<%= raw image_tag(@thumbnail_available) %>
<br>
<p style="line-height: 1.6; margin: 0 0 0px; padding: 0;">The Evercam Team</p>

Is it a correct way and according to the elixir standards?

The bug is not in your template. Your template is fine. The bug is in whatever is compiling your templates. Probably in your e-mail handling library. Maybe updating the version will fix it. Your solution is fine, as it circumvents the issue, but at first there is nothing wrong with your template.

I got a similar error in

Does anyone know the root cause of the problem. I’m getting it with (I think) ecto_enum.

@shortlyportly please don’t bump a thread asking the same question only 16 hours apart. Also please understand that a BadMapError is a very generic error and if you’re not getting it in a view and specifically from EEx then it is almost surely a different issue than what is found in this thread. But please start a new post for the issue that are encountering with ecto_enum (and when you do please include a full stacktrace/error message and list applicable versions of depedencies).

Apologies @Axelson - the second request was not due to impatience but the fact I thought I’d not actually asked the question. In terms of my problem I did think it was related hence why I asked the question.

Once again if this is not the right thing to do then apologies.

No worries, the forum software does act funky at times. Please open a new topic if you’re still running into your issue!

Also for @azharmalik3’s and @norpan’s issues I’ve raised an Elixir bug to assist in getting a better/more informative error message:
