I got the same message. Figured out the issue has to do with code editor. When I was adding route for liveview, my code editor (VSCode with elixir extensions) suggested modules (one of which is my LiveView module), then I click “enter” on it and code editor automatically imports alias MyApp.MyLiveViewComponent which basically screws up everything. then I go and delete the import, and voila, error is gone

Just want to say thanks as this was exactly my issue. VS Code with elixir-tools auto imports the module which we don’t want in this case.

To give some more color as to why this is a problem - this block
scope "/", MyAppWeb do
pipe_through :browser
live "/", SearchLiveView
end
automatically adds MyAppWeb to all items in the scope macro. When the alias is defined, the live block gets expanded to MyAppWeb.SearchLiveView, which gets doubly expanded to MyAppWeb.MyAppWeb.SearchLiveView when the scope macro gets applied.

thank you so much, i thought i was going crazy for a second. looking through docs after docs
the import is very sneaky

Just ran into the same issue using the zed editor. Anyone know of a way to prevent the automatic alias MyWebApp.MyLiveComponent definition?
