I was watching “Why I built Ash Authentication - James Harton” and during the demo there was a moment where James had some nice tooltips show up for what was allowed in the DSL.

As a young user of Ash myself, I find discovery of the DSL to be a challenge. I have not gone too deep into this, but what do I need to do to see similar tooltips in VS Code?

Not seeing autocomplete.

attribu...should autocomplete toattributes.zorn
Just updated my dependencies (they were 4 days out of date) and then reinstalled elixirls (it too saw recent updates), trashed my build and
.elixir_lsfolders.What I see for a tooltips is:
and clicking that
hexdocslink takes me to a 404 URL:https://hexdocs.pm/ash/2.15.12/Ash.Resource.Dsl.html#attributes/1I’m probably not going to spend a bunch more effort on this (at least today), but thought I’d ask in case I’m missing something.

It should “just work” if you are using ElixirLS, and a recent version of ash/the extension in question, as well as
spark. Perhaps trymix deps.update spark
