I am not sure what has changed but now ElixirLS does not work for me anymore. I am using the latest vscode (1.77.3) and the latest elixir ls extension (0.14.3). I have elixir 14.2 and OTP 25 installed through asdf. I get the following messages when starting with the command code . :

ElixirLS - asc_enfusion client: couldn't create connection to server.
The ElixirLS - asc_enfusion server crashed 5 times in the last 3 minutes. The server will not be restarted. See the output for more information.

Here is the output:

I do have some settings in my .gitconfig as well. Any clues on what is going on? Thanks

Try starting elixir-ls in your project dir. By running command elixir-ls. It might show the actual error.

Hey, just happened to me as well. did you find any solution?

I removed my .gitconfig file and now it works fine. Didn’t quite get to the bottom of this. I would try @Egis suggestion to see if it gives a different or more helpful error.

I fixed using @zachallaun solution from here reverting Elixir-ls to a previous version and it works fine. In my case, I reverted to v0.13.0.

@karang v0.14.7 should surface the git error. In one report I’ve seen the reason was blocked connection to github in corporate network and incorrectly set git proxy.
