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 ==

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.
