Yup. You can tell because it lets you set module attributes in the describe block, which you can’t do inside of a function.

There’s a better way to explain what I’m about to say, but you’re trying to assign a variable in the AST using a method that’s also a leaf in the same tree.
You will have to declare the method in a new module entirely or use it in a test or setup block of that module.

An example, they are saying that you are trying to do something like this:
iex(2)> defmodule Testering do
...(2)> def blah(i), do: i * 2
...(2)> bloop = blah(21)
...(2)> end
** (CompileError) iex:4: undefined function blah/1
You are trying to use a function that is not compiled yet is all. 
The ‘test’ cases are basically (are, not just basically) functions, hence why you can call it in those.

Thanks! setup_all did the trick … it needed code as indicated below:
setup_all do
# Explicitly get a connection before each test
# By default the test is wrapped in a transaction
:ok = Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Sandbox.checkout(Koko.Repo)
# The :shared mode allows a process to share
# its connection with any other process automatically
Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Sandbox.mode(Koko.Repo, { :shared, self() })
:ok
end
