Programming Phoenix 1.4: Add category_id to video table (page 121)

On page 103, we perform:

mix phx.gen.html Multimedia Video videos user_id:references:users \
url:string title:string description:text

The above code adds a field, user_id, to the videos tables.

video.ex:

defmodule Rumbl.Multimedia.Video do
  use Ecto.Schema
  import Ecto.Changeset

  schema "videos" do
    field :description, :string
    field :title, :string
    field :url, :string
    field :user_id, :id

    belongs_to :user, Rumbl.Accounts.User
    belongs_to :category, Rumbl.Multimedia.Category

    timestamps()
  end

  @doc false
  def changeset(video, attrs) do
    video
    |> cast(attrs, [:url, :title, :description, :category_id])
    |> validate_required([:url, :title, :description])
  end
end

One page 121, when I attempt to perform:

mix ecto.gen.migration add_category_id_to_video

I’m getting the following error message:

Compiling 1 file (.ex)

== Compilation error in file lib/rumbl/multimedia/video.ex ==

Marked As Solved

I was able to resolve the issue by removing user_id field from the videos schema. It would be great if the book was updated to show the error caused by having both
field :user_id, :id and belongs_to :user, Rumbl.Accounts.User and providing a resolution.
