Liveview lifecycle hooks - mount or on_mount?

According to Phoenix.LiveView — Phoenix LiveView v1.2.5, if I use:

live_session :default, on_mount: MyAppWeb.InitAssigns do

Then in MyAppWeb.InitAssigns I should define a on_mount function like:

def on_mount(:default, _params, _session, socket) do

But if I do this:

live_session :default, on_mount: RoboticaFaceWeb.InitAssigns do

I get an error that the mount function is not defined:

Erlang/OTP 24 [erts-12.0.4] [source] [64-bit] [smp:20:20] [ds:20:20:10] [async-threads:1] [jit]

  lib/robotica_face_web/router.ex:1: RoboticaFaceWeb.Router.__routes__/0

Compilation failed due to warnings while using the --warnings-as-errors option

Instead of a on_mount function I have to define a mount function:

def mount(_params, session, socket) do

Then it works perfectly.

Just wondering if I have misunderstood something about the docs???

Make sure your LiveView version matches the version you are reading the docs for. The mount callbacks were redesigned on v0.17.x.

Whoops. Sorry, didn’t realize I was now on an old version.
