Upgraded from Phoenix 1.1.6 to 1.2 and now I get a CompileError

I upgraded Phoenix from 1.1.6 to 1.2 and now I'm getting this weird CompileError.

(CompileError) web/views/main_view.ex:2: module Rejack.Router.Helpers is not loaded and could not be found

I compared a freshly generated Phoenix 1.2 project file by file to mine and I couldn't find any major differences.

The view part my web.ex looks like this:

def view do
  quote do
    require Logger

    use Phoenix.View, root: "web/templates"

    # Import convenience functions from controllers
    import Phoenix.Controller, only: [get_csrf_token: 0, get_flash: 2, view_module: 1]

    # Use all HTML functionality (forms, tags, etc)
    use Phoenix.HTML

    import Rejack.Router.Helpers
    import Rejack.ErrorHelpers
    import Rejack.Gettext
  end
end

and the view is also pretty standard

defmodule Rejack.MainView do
  use Rejack.Web, :view
end

Any idea what is causing this?

Edit: The only major difference to a regular Phoenix project is that I'm not using postgrex, but mongodb_ecto (and therefor I'm stuck with phoenix_ecto 2.x).

This could be down to using "forward" as a catch all in your routes that's pointing to a controller rather than a Plug.

forward "/", PageController, :index

If you do have that in your routes and you change it to use get "/*path" instead, that should fix the compilation errors for you.

get "/*path", PageController, :index
