Elixir LS on Vscode WSL container suddenly not working. Using MISE

Recently I’ve been getting errors with Elixir LS, they sort of went away after removing deps and the elixir ls folder at first but now I think it’s literally broken. and I don’t know why

So when the extension tries to start up it gives

And I do believe that I have the proper things installed as shown by the following commands,

maybe the issue is confliction? Because what happens for me at least is when I mise implode and remove and run elixir –version I get a similar thing like the init terminating But honestly I’m no elixir expert so I ask unto you guys for help and what I can do

I can give more details, well the final detail I suppose is that in my backend folder the .elixir_ls folder is not being made there anymore, maybe I deleted it one too many times? I can give more details, but I tried searching up and this really is bugging me! That’s all, any help would be really really appreciated

edit: I even tried with ADSF But I still get the errors! This is so confusing

edit 2: I uninstalled elixir from all my paths and everything on windows that I could, I also within file explorer deleted the extension in the vscode folder and reinstalled it but still Nothing!
edit 3:

one more thing, maybe it’s a vscode issue in general not being able to find stuff because now in Lexical I get things like this, maybe vscode can’t access my path or version managers or anything else? I really don’t know :confused: I’m using WSL Ubuntu on win11

Nevermind, the shell values were not loaded (or whatever) I just had to open vscode from the ubuntu shell!
