Unfortunately, modern phoenix projects no longer have a "web" directory, opting instead for a "lib/<project_name>_web" directory. This is mentioned in passing on the "Up and Running" page for Phoenix: https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/up_and_running.html#content. Since it would be difficult to ascertain the name of the project in order to check this directory explicitly, I opted instead to check whether the string ":phoenix" occurs in the "mix.exs" file of the project. This would be expected in the dependencies section of that file. We could, alternately, check for the existence of a "lib/*_web" directory.

Hello! 👋
I noticed that modern phoenix projects no longer have a
webdirectory, opting instead for alib/<project_name>_webdirectory. This is mentioned in passing on the "Up and Running" page for Phoenix. Sincealchemist-phoenix-project-plooks for a project-root "web" directory, it was failing to detect my phoenix projects.I figured it would be difficult to ascertain the name of the project in order to check for a
lib/<project_name>_webdirectory explicitly, I opted instead to check whether the string ":phoenix" occurs in themix.exsfile of the project. This would be expected in the dependencies section of that file.We could, alternately, check for the existence of a
lib/*_webdirectory. I'm totally open to feedback on this! 😄
