Hi, I installed some plugins on Vscode for elixir but I don’t know why Vscode’s Autocomplete doesn’t work.
see this image please:
it doesn’t load any Elixir module. the plugins I installed are in left side of my image
my user settings.json
// Place your settings in this file to overwrite the default settings
{
"editor.fontSize": 18,
"editor.tabSize": 3,
"editor.insertSpaces": true,
"editor.detectIndentation": true,
"window.zoomLevel": 0,
"editor.wordWrap": "on",
"workbench.colorTheme": "Solarized Light",
"[Eex]": {},
"emmet.includeLanguages": {"HTML (Eex)": "html"},
"files.associations": {
"*.eex": "HTML (EEx)",
"*.leex": "HTML (EEx)"
},
"[HTML (Eex)]": {},
"explorer.confirmDragAndDrop": false
}

I meant in the “OUTPUT” pane, there is a dropdown to the right, there you can check the “ElixirLS” log.
Though as far as I remember,
mjmcloug.vscode-elixirbuilds on the “elixir-sense” library which is used in the LS-fork as well.Therefore it might be, that either both extensions are conflicting, or, as the last release of
mjmcloug.vscode-elixiris from 2017, it might just be, that it suffers from the same incompatibilites with Elixir 1.10, that also JakeBeckers LS implementation now suffers from.Try deactivating that plugin.

I’m assuming your talking about the inferred type specs from code lens. Are you receiving any errors? Here’s some of the debug instructions for vscode:
View > Outputand selecting “ElixirLS” in the dropdown. Please include any output that looks relevant. (If ElixirLS isn’t in the dropdown, the server failed to launch.)Help > Toggle Developer Toolsand include any errors that look relevant.shahryarjb
Hi, I deleted all the
deps,_buildand.elixir_lsfile after these job I closed VScode and re-launch it, but it didint work until I renamed a function name and saved , recompiled. for now it works and shows me@spec.if I see this problem I said I will definitely do what you said,
Thank you

From my understanding, elixir-ls stopped being actively developed some time ago, use that instead: GitHub - elixir-lsp/elixir-ls: A frontend-independent IDE "smartness" server for Elixir. Implements the "Language Server Protocol" standard and provides debugger support via the "Debug Adapter Protocol" · GitHub It’s actively developed fork.
