The alias of the endpoint… Something like YourAppWeb.Endpoint. This module would be in file lib/your_app_web/endpoint.ex
Oh… by the way, test files are not compiled, First they are in test folder, second exs are for elixir script files and are not meant to be compiled.
Rename it to ex, put it in lib and it will be compiled…
Some people add a lib/mock folder, where they put tests/seeds files.
defmodule Test do
def broadcast(message) do
Test.Endpoint.broadcast!("room:lobby", "new_msg", %{body: message})
end
end
I cant seem to find the correct alias. So this file is located in lib/test.ex , which is not located in the lib/test_web folder. I believe I am calling Endpoint the wrong way because it is still saying its undefined, I cant seem to access any file in this module from the IEX , I tried using a simple IO.puts as well and it says the function is defined.
:o Should I change the name from test to practice or something? I just used the name test for example sake!

This was the response in the terminal to that last command
Back to my orginal project , I used this as my alias
defmodule Test do
alias TestWeb
def broadcast(message) do
Endpoint.broadcast!("room:lobby", "new_msg", %{body: message})
end
end
Does this look correct? Maybe I can trying the wrong commands in the iex shell?
I seemed to have been in the wrong directory sorry for the confusion! This is my current error when I run it, believe it is the wrong alias
iex(1)> Test.broadcast("hello")
** (UndefinedFunctionError) function Endpoint.broadcast!/3 is undefined (module Endpoint is not available)
Endpoint.broadcast!("room:lobby", "new_msg", %{body: "hello"})
