Hey Folks! Just curious if anyone has tried ElixirLS with the Release Candidate of Neovim 0.5.
(It is supposed to have a built-in LSP client! - https://neovim.io/roadmap/)
Hey Folks! Just curious if anyone has tried ElixirLS with the Release Candidate of Neovim 0.5.
(It is supposed to have a built-in LSP client! - https://neovim.io/roadmap/)
I have been using it with nvim-lsp
package which’s provide language server setup including ElixirLS.
Version 0.6.0 was released today!
Here are the highlights:
General:
Major changes:
An initial Ecto completion plugin (thanks Marlus Saraiva) #333 (More discussion and examples in https://github.com/elixir-lsp/elixir_sense/issues/104)
Add eval support in debugger to see values of variables in scope (thanks Dmitry Shpagin) #339
Improvements:
& % ^ : !
(thanks Łukasz Samson) #327
Bug Fixes:
** (Mix.Error) Unknown dependency :ecto_sql given to :import_deps in the formatter configuration.
Note: MIX_TARGET
support was added in 0.5.0 but wasn’t added to the changelog until later:
MIX_TARGET
so the language server can have target specific contexts, like with Nerves (thanks Jon Carstens) #299
Potentially breaking changes:
inputs
of .formatter.exs
(thanks Tan Jay Jun) #315
mix.lock
I want to give a huge thanks to all the contributors to this release!
This is an awesome release Kudos to all who contributed!
I’ve just upgraded but the extension seems to have issues loading.
I’ve opened an issue here https://github.com/elixir-lsp/elixir-ls/issues/371 and will try to address later when time permits.
Update: seems to be a VS Code package issue so moved it to the right repo https://github.com/elixir-lsp/vscode-elixir-ls/issues/145
Yeah, turns out there were a couple issues with the packaging for the VSCode extension for 0.6.0. I’ve released a new version of the VSCode extension (0.6.1) that resolves them.
Apologies if I am just barging in to ask – what is the status of an Emacs LSP-mode integrated server? I am looking for something like in Rust where you can automatically call format on save, jump to definitions, run various mix
sub-commands.
Last few updates I’ve seen:
Is there anything newer? Is there an officially blessed way to run ElixirLS with Emacs?
ElixirLS can do all of those except running arbitrary mix
commands.
There’s two main LSP packages to use with Emacs, lsp-mode and eglot. lsp-mode is more featureful and what I would generally recommend (and is what I personally use). This wiki is generally up to date and a good overview: Emacs - Elixir Setup Configuration Wiki
Took me some fighting until I pinpoint where and what to put in ~/.spacemacs
but it looks like it’s working now. Thank you for the pointer!
Is there an option to run mix format
on a file after save?
Yes:
Thanks. I’m using Spacemacs casually for several months and still haven’t learned to properly customize it. Any idea where exactly in its init file should I put this block?
You do not need the full block, I just posted the full area because it was simpler for me And sadly I can not tell where to put that in spacemacs.
Its basically the reason why I dropped spacemacs. All packages READMEs assumed vanilla emacs + use-package
. It usually took me hours to find out where to put stuff.
After I dropped spacemacs and did a free form emacs config, which I later split into many files, organized similar to how Steve Purcell did, it became a lot easier. Eventually I got to the point where I had everything I need in my emacs config, and even though I did not leverage lazy loading, the config loaded within 5 to 7 seconds, while spacemacs never really got below 20, despite the fact that it advertised itself as “fast”.
Also, perhaps its time that someone opens an issue at spacemacs and tells them that Alchemist is not state of the art anymore but anyone uses lsp-mode
/eglot
+ the LS.
PS: The important part is actually this:
(add-hook 'elixir-mode-hook ;; when we enter elixir mode
(lambda () ;; call this function
;; Format on save, this buffer only.
(add-hook 'before-save-hook #'lsp-format-buffer nil t)))
If you use eglot
rather than lsp-mode
you need to figure out what function you have to put there in the hook.
Thank you. Only added that last block to Spacemacs’ dotspacemacs/user-config
function so now it looks like this:
(defun dotspacemacs/user-config ()
(use-package lsp-mode
:commands lsp
:ensure t
:diminish lsp-mode
:hook
(elixir-mode . lsp)
:init
(add-to-list 'exec-path "/Users/dimi/bin/elixir-ls/release"))
(add-hook 'elixir-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(add-hook 'before-save-hook #'lsp-format-buffer nil t)))
)
lsp-mode
plus elixir-ls
work, and so does formatting on save.
Very grateful for the assist.
Version 0.6.2 was released today!

Did a git pull
the other day and then git checkout v0.6.2
. Both Elixir and Rust language servers fail with reasons I can’t find. Where should I look?
With Elixir I get “Server <…> status:starting exited with status exit. Do you want to restart it?”-- even if I press Y the same things happens until I press N.
Can anyone help?
EDIT: Sorry, had a bad day. It was as simple as asdf local erlang 23.1.5
because my project used an older version that I’ve since deleted. Apologies for polluting the thread.
Version 0.6.3 was released today!
Here are the highlights:
Major changes:
textDocument/implementation

0.6.4 was released today which has a hotfix for a startup issue that was primarily affecting macOS:
0.6.5 was released to which has a hotfix for a regression introduced in 0.6.3:
This would often manifest when VSCode had staged or unstaged changes.
Version 0.7.0 was released today!
Here are the highlights:
Major Changes:
Support auto-generating folding ranges (textDocument/foldingRange) (thanks billylanchantin (inspired by an initial PR by Thanabodee Charoenpiriyakij) #492
Use fuzzy matching for function completion (thanks Po Chen) #491
validate_password
and “Enum.chub” will match Enum.chunk_by/2
Improvements:
Bug Fixes:
Housekeeping:
VSCode:
expandMacro
command (thanks Łukasz Samson) #176
Deprecations
Deprecate non-standard elixirDocument/macroExpansion
command. It is being replaced with the expandMacro
custom command. See #498 for details. It is planned to be fully removed in 0.8
As always, I want to give a huge thanks to all the contributors to this release!
Hi Jason,
There is a minor error in the description about the fuzzy matching. valword
will actually match validate_password
. The first character restriction is only applied to the very first character of the whole function name. If the trigger word doesn’t start with v
it would not match, like if one types dw
wouldn’t get validate_password
, but vpw
, vp
or vw
will.
