Real-Time Phoenix: ProductChannelTest - undefined function describe/2 (pg 203)

Hi,

I am getting an error I cannot figure out on my test.
I have what I think is the exact code from the book, other than I changed “use” to “import” to fix a deprecation warning:

defmodule Sneakers23Web.ProductChannelTest do

  #use Sneakers23Web.ChannelCase, async: true
  import Sneakers23Web.ChannelCase
  alias Sneakers23Web.{Endpoint, ProductChannel}
  alias Sneakers23.Inventory.CompleteProduct

  describe "notify product released" do
    test "the size selector for the product is broadcast" do
      {inventory, _data} = Test.Factory.InventoryFactory.complete_products()
      [_, product] = CompleteProduct.get_complete_products(inventory)

      topic = "product:#{id}"
      Endpoint.subscribe(topic)

      ProductChannel.notify_product_released(product)

      assert_broadcast "released", %{size_html: html}

      assert html =~ "size-container__entry"

      Enum.each(product.items, fn item ->
        assert html =~ ~s(value="#{item.id}")
      end)
    end
  end
end

The error I get is:

sneakers_23 % mix test

(elixir 1.12.1) lib/kernel/parallel_compiler.ex:321: anonymous fn/4 in Kernel.ParallelCompiler.spawn_workers/7

I can imagine why describe would not show up if I am not importing the right test module, but why is it saying I have describe/2 when I am clearly only giving it one argument? Changing import back to use doesn’t fix anything either.

Ah, that’s due to the Erlang version. You are right to upgrade it if you’re following with other books.

I’m unsure of the problem you’re facing because changed the use to import in channel_case.ex but no difference is not correct. When you change from use to import there, that warning will disappear.

I’m unable to provide updated code for the book because that has to go through a process with the publisher. I’m willing to evaluate my options for providing a code-update, but I need to get their thoughts here.

What about this: you upload your warning code (not the one with :pg2 failing) to Github and I’ll update it to work with latest Erlang/Elixir without warnings. I cannot do every chapter’s code, but I can do it for the current code you’re stuck on. It is likely something you can then apply to other chapters.
