Strange compilation error: could not load module ExampleWeb.RoutexBackend due to reason :nofile

[BartOtten]

Seems a compile --force is not the same as a first compilation, neither is clearing the _build folder. The error raised on the first compilation lead me to the issue; so thanks for the reproduction steps on a clean Phoenix project.

== Compilation error in file lib/example_web/components/layouts.ex ==
** (RuntimeError) Elixir.Routex.Extension.VerifiedRoutes: Could not find a route definition matching ["images", "logo.svg"]

Fixed in 2e28451
Released a4!

Thanks for investing time to test this still early phase lib!

Have seen this during development and had my own little backdoor for troubleshooting. New version alpha3 made it public. Please let me know what you get with the debugging flag set.

Have seen this during development

In fact, if I remove the preprocess_using macro, compile and then later add it back it works.

[sfusato]

Adding it to a clean project was the step before trying to add it to a larger project. Will report back if I bump into anything.

== Compilation error in file lib/example_web/components/layouts.ex ==
** (RuntimeError) Elixir.Routex.Extension.VerifiedRoutes: Could not find a route definition matching ["images", "logo.svg"]

I was also getting that, as well as one for ~p"/assets/app.css" when doing the compilation trick by adding preprocess_using as a subsequent change. All fixed with the last release.
