assign @current_user not available in eex template.

[conradwt]

After following the instructions within the README.md, I'm seeing the following error message when navigating to the landing page:

ArgumentError at GET /
assign @current_user not available in eex template.

Please make sure all proper assigns have been set. If this
is a child template, ensure assigns are given explicitly by
the parent template as they are not automatically forwarded.

Available assigns: [:conn, :deprecated_module_template, :inner_content, :movies, :view_module, :view_template]

Note: I'm not sure where @current_user is being defined here.

This means the route you are trying to access is not running the plugs generated by mix phx.gen.auth. Make sure the plugs are in our pipeline and that the routes are invoking the relevant pipelines. Thanks.

@josevalim After creating a new Phoenix project with mix phx.gen.auth, things work as expected. However, I was able to determine that the original project was missing fetch_current_user plug after comparing it against the new project. Thus, this issue can be closed.
