Phoenix: mix phx.gen.html creates wrong subfolder and wrong module name

[dbulic]

Environment

• Elixir version (elixir -v): 1.4.5
• Phoenix version (mix deps): 1.3.0-rc.3
• NodeJS version (node -v): 8.2.1
• NPM version (npm -v): 5.3.0
• Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04

mix phx.new xx
mix ecto.create
mix phx.gen.html Web Movie movies name:string

Expected behavior

Expecting to see lib/xx/web folder. Expecting to find controller Xx.Web.MoviesController in lib/xx/web/controllers.
Expecting to see defmodule Xx.Web.MovieController do in lib/xx/web/controllers/movie_controller.ex

Actual behavior

Seeing both lib/xx and lib/xx_web folder. Being incorrectly instructed to:

Add the resource to your browser scope in lib/xx_web/router.ex:

    resources "/movies", MovieController

Folder xx_web doesn't contain router.ex, it's in xx folder.
Seeing defmodule XxWeb.MovieController do in lib/xx_web/controllers/movie_controller.ex

The Xx.Web namespace was changed to XxWeb in rc3, see https://elixirforum.com/t/phoenix-1-3-0-rc-3-released/7150/13

I see, thanks. I had to rerun mix archive.install https://github.com/phoenixframework/archives/raw/master/phx_new.ez
Seems I had an old version that was slightly broken.

Phoenix newbie here. I'm confused, should it work as expected now? I'm following along the guide at https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/testing.html#content with Phoenix 1.3.0 and I'm bumping into issues.

$ mix phx.new hello
$ cd hello
$ mix ecto.create
$ mix phoenix.gen.html User users name:string email:string bio:string number_of_pets:integer

Help message says to edit web/router.ex but I don't have such a file, it appears to be lib/hello_web/router.ex

$ vi lib/hello_web/router.ex
$ mix text
** (CompileError) test/controllers/user_controller_test.exs:2: module Hello.ConnCase is not loaded and could not be found                                               
    (elixir) expanding macro: Kernel.use/1                                          
    test/controllers/user_controller_test.exs:2: Hello.UserControllerTest (module)  
    (elixir) lib/code.ex:376: Code.require_file/2                                   
    (elixir) lib/kernel/parallel_require.ex:59: anonymous fn/2 in Kernel.ParallelRequire.spawn_requires/5 

Apparently that's because ConnCase is under HelloWeb, not under Hello. I tried to fix that in test/hello_web/controllers/page_controller_test.exs but then got this error

$ mix test
...** (CompileError) test/models/user_test.exs:2: module Hello.ModelCase is not loaded and could not be found
    (elixir) expanding macro: Kernel.use/1
    test/models/user_test.exs:2: Hello.UserTest (module)
    (elixir) lib/code.ex:376: Code.require_file/2
    (elixir) lib/kernel/parallel_require.ex:59: anonymous fn/2 in Kernel.ParallelRequire.spawn_requires/5

I found a Hello.DataCase module that looks like it might be what it's looking for so I edited test/models/user_test.exs to replace ModelCase with DataCase and now I get this error:
` $ mix test ...** (CompileError) test/controllers/user_controller_test.exs:30: Hello.User.__struct__/1 is undefined, cannot expand struct Hello.User test/controllers/user_controller_test.exs:29: (module) (stdlib) erl_eval.erl:670: :erl_eval.do_apply/6
And I got stuck on this one. Am I doing something wrong are there indeed issues with generated code?

[webdeb]

@amarandon The following cannot work

$ mix phx.new hello
...
$ mix phoenix.gen.html

[amarandon]

@webdeb Of course, good catch! All tests passing now :)

I got this from section "Generating More Files" of https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/testing.html#content
I guess I should send a PR to update this guide, shouldn't I?

[webdeb]

@amarandon Sure, why not. this is the repo https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix_guides

[amarandon]

@webdeb OK, I noticed more problems in the guide so I added issue https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix_guides/issues/721 and intend to work on it. Thanks for your help!

[roberthopman]

@webdeb why does this not work?
$ mix phx.new hello
...
$ mix phoenix.gen.html

[OvermindDL1]

$ mix phoenix.gen.html

$ mix phx.gen.html

[PhillippOhlandt]

@roberthopman Because phx generates a Phoenix 1.3 app and phoenix are the generators for Phoenix 1.2 and below. The default project structure changed in Phoenix 1.3 and therefore the phoenix generators are not compatible.
