Hello everybody, I’m following guidelines and instructions of the well-known Phoenix book “Programming Phoenix” and as I’m now on page 93 I tried to execute “mix ecto.migrate” after generating the resources. The command shell outputs this error: Compiling 13 files (.ex) == Compilation error …

There is video.\ that causes the error The block should be <td><%= video.user_id %></td> <td><%= video.url %></td> <td><%= video.title %></td> <td><%= video.description %></td>

Thanks for the code. I’m going to put it in. And right, I thought of the same. The code that I’m getting those errors on wasn’t touched by me but generated by the command mix phoenix.gen.html Video videos user_id:references:users url:string title:string description:text* creating web/controller…

\ is special character :slight_smile: used for escaping the next one. It is not a part of the actual command. It is a formatting sign when You want to split one command into multiple lines.
