Also, if you look at the test that is failing it can’t find "Edit" because you are looking for
"#thing-#{thing.id} a"
When the element in the output is
<tr id="thing_collection-1" ....
And the output under that <tr> tag is
<a href="/thing/1/edit" data-phx-link="patch" data-phx-link-state="push">Edit</a>
It’s there.
@sodapopcan is right.
sooo… table names have to be plural? This seems like an odd choice. In all of the companies I have ever worked in, everybody always used singular table names. It is certainly not intuitive that that is a hard requirement.
What happens to entities whose names cannot be properly pluralized?
I have closed the issue I opened earlier.
It’s a common pattern in Ruby on Rails, which Ecto and Phoenix have taken inspiration from heavily. It’s the convention used here. Nothing is stopping you from using singular table names, just don’t expect the generators to work when straying outside of convention.
If you want to use the generators you could always generate with a plural name then edit the migration and the schema to be singular.
…or open an issue in Phoenix to make singular table names work! Not sure it would be accepted but you can always try 
I see. Thanks for clearing that up. I guess I will have to decide if I can live with it or not.
Nah, I think I do not have the energy to fight an established convention like that; it is a matter of opinion after all, in which I (and all of my colleagues, who I will never convince, because we use raw sql all day, where you INNER JOIN ON apple.shape = otherapple.shape, you know) firmly fall into the “other” camp.
I can accept that people do this, but I do not wish to do this myself.
I’m using sqlite3 in production on a client project for years. There’s certainly space to improve, but it’s also very possible to use. However it’s been ages since I last used phoenix generators besides for creating an initial new project.
Hey, if you want to get used to it that’s cool, but it’s literally just editing two tokens each time. The convention doesn’t affect anything other than the generators.
