Ecto Cannot Find Repo In Project

I'm trying to add Ecto to my project. It's a standard project not generated with --s to add a supervisor.

So far I've used

mix ecto.gen.repo -r MyApp.Repo

Which generates it just fine.

In my config/dev.exs I have the following:

config :my_app,
  ecto_repos: [MyApp.Repo]

config :my_app, MyApp.Repo,
  adapter: Ecto.Adapters.Postgres,
  database: System.get_env("DATABASE_NAME"),
  username: System.get_env("DATABASE_USER"),
  password: System.get_env("DATABASE_PASSWORD"),
  hostname: System.get_env("DATABASE_HOST"),
  port: System.get_env("DATABASE_PORT")

In myapp/repo.ex I have:

defmodule MyApp.Repo do
  use Ecto.Repo, otp_app: :my_app
end

However, when I go to create the repo with 

mix ecto.create --env=dev

I get

warning: could not find Ecto repos in any of the apps: [:my_app].

You can avoid this warning by passing the -r flag or by setting the
repositories managed by those applications in your config/config.exs:

config :eos, ecto_repos: [...]

This also occurs if I omit the --env flag.

I am hopelessly lost. This is consistent with the getting started guide (minus the supervisor stuff which it did not indicate was required), and I'm stalled out here. Can anyone help me sort this out? Thank you!

Elixir only loads the config declarations in config/config.exs by default. The <env>.exs convention used by many projects including Phoenix requires the following line to be added to the end of config/config.exs in order to load the correct exs file:

import_config "#{Mix.env}.exs"
