ElixirLS - the Elixir Language Server

[axelson]

Version 0.5.0 was released today!

Here are the highlights:

General:

Major changes:

• Improve autocomplete and signature help (thanks Marlus Saraiva) #273 (see also #300)

  • Don’t insert arguments when completing a function call (almost always had to be deleted)
  • Autocomplete triggers signature help instead of injecting the arguments (since those would almost always have to be removed)
  • Don’t insert a () around the function call if the formatter configuration does not require it.

  When completing only the highest arity is shown by default:
  

  
  
  When capturing a function all arities are shown (and the completion includes the /1)
  
  
  
  Signature help is shown automatically after selecting a completion
  
  

Changes:

• Support WorkspaceSymbols (go to symbol in workspace) without dialyzer being enabled (thanks Jason Axelson) #263
• Add completions for @moduledoc false and @doc false (thanks Jason Axelson) #288
• No longer always return a static list of keywords for completion (thanks Jason Axelson) #259

Bug Fixes:

• Formatting was returning invalid floating point number (caused issues on vim and emacs) (thanks Thanabodee Charoenpiriyakij) #250
• Debugger doesn’t fail when modules cannot be interpretted (thanks Łukasz Samson) (such as nifs) #283
• Only call DocumentSymbols (outline pane) for .ex and .exs files (thanks Marlus Saraiva) #262
• Fix detection of empty hover hints (thanks Dmitry Gutov) #279

Also numerous GitHub - elixir-lsp/elixir_sense: Provides context-aware information for code completion, documentation, go/jump to definition, signature info and more changes, improvements, and bug fixes
