Phoenix Channels [warn] Ignoring unmatched topic "topic:subtopic" - How to Avoid Terminal Warning Message?

While running the Phoenix Chat Example App on localhost we are seeing this "noisy" warning:

[warn] Ignoring unmatched topic "topic:subtopic" in ChatWeb.UserSocket

The warning just keeps being logged in the Terminal/Console indefinitely while the client is open ...

Tried searching Google / GitHub / StackOverflow / Elixir Forum ... 🔍
but no obvious solution ... 😞

If you know how to remove this warning, please share! Thanks! 🖖

Additional Info

Solution

  • The client tries to connect to this channel.

    The channel you do define has a completely different name.

    Bring these two into correspondence, e.g. by changing topic:subtopic to chat_room:lobby.
