I decided to try Neovim (first time using vim at all) for Elixir. I’m using Mason Vim and installed ElixirLS as my language server. Afterwards I’m able to use code snippets and see code suggestions in the files, but the color scheme is all black and white.
This is my nvim config, I don’t understand what is it that I’m doing wrong.
Edit:
I’m using Terminator and Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS if that helps

What happens if you dont use your own settings of tokyonight but the built in theme? What terminal are you using?

Disabling Tokyonight doesn’t help either. I’m using Terminator on Ubuntu Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS. The color scheme and language servers are working fine for the other languages in my setup, it’s only Elixir that is giving me trouble
perfmind
the library for syntax highlighting is treesitter, you can install with
:TSInstall elixirfor elixir syntax. Or if you use LazyVim, you can install via LazyExtracrisefd
Ok, so I finally managed to get it to work propertly by adding this setting in
lspconfig.lua
