Cannot run tests in VSCode UI: module Plug.Builder is not loaded
I have a problem when attempting to run a test inside of the VSCode (i.e. by clicking on a green triangle to the left of the test). The output I get in the debug window:
Started ElixirLS Debug Adapter v0.23.0
ElixirLS Debug Adapter built with elixir "1.17.2" on OTP "27"
Running on elixir "1.17.2 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 27)" on OTP "27"
Protocols are not consolidated
Starting debugger in directory: /home/ought/Coding/Elixir/sample_app
Running with MIX_ENV: test MIX_TARGET: host
Compiling 23 files (.ex)
error: module Plug.Builder is not loaded and could not be found. This may be happening because the module you are trying to load directly or indirectly depends on the current module

This problem does not happen when I run the tests from the terminal window by mix test - this way tests work normally.
My tasks are the default ones - i.e.:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "mix_task",
"name": "mix (Default task)",
"request": "launch",
"projectDir": "${workspaceRoot}"
},
{
"type": "mix_task",
"name": "mix test",
"request": "launch",
"task": "test",
"taskArgs": [
"--trace"
],
"startApps": true,
"projectDir": "${workspaceRoot}",
"requireFiles": [
"test/**/test_helper.exs",
"test/**/*_test.exs"
]
}
]
}
The repository of my simple project is here: https://github.com/StragaSevera/sample_app . The extension that I use is ElixirLS.
Is there any way to make this feature (running tests in IDE) work? It’s a dealbreaker for me =-)

Figured it out myself - if somebody else has this problem, what you need to do is clear your project folder from all ide-configuration and build files (like folders _build, .elixir-ls and so on), and then re-open the project. It will start working ![]()
