ElixirLS code navigation not working (Go To Definition/Implementation/References etc)
Hello guys!
I’m currently working on a project that uses elixir. I recently switched to VSCode, installed ElixirLS and had quite a few issues getting it to run properly.
My system:
- Machine: MacBook Pro M3 Max
- OS: Sonoma 14.1
Software:
- Erlang Version: erlang 23.2.7
- Elixir Version: elixir 1.13.4
- OpenSSL version: 1.1
everything you see on that list was installed via brew/asdf.
I’m using ElixirLS v0.19.0. After fiddling around for some hours I finally got it to start. Previously it would crash because of the elixir version, openssl version and other reasons. Now it starts, but a lot of features don’t work:
- Go To Definition
- (Go To Implementation)
- Go To References
- Code-Completion on aliases
Are these features simply not supported or am I doing something wrong? Any help is super appreciated 
Cheers

All those features are supported. Please share a repo that reproduces your problems.. Please attach ElixirLS logs, vscode extension logs and/or LSP trace messages.

Did you ever figure this out? I’m in the same boat. Finally got it to install without errors but none of the features work. The logs appear clean too.
