Problem with 'use' Macro in VSCode + ElixirLS

I use Visual Studio Code with the ElixirLS Fork extension.

I am trying out Elixir/Phoenix and when i call the ‘use’ Macro for something like

defmodule TestWeb.MyController
    use TestWeb :controller
...

or

defmodule Test.mySchema
    use Ecto.Schema
...

there is no Autocomplete or Documentation available from the Modules that are imported or aliased in the __using__/1 macro. The Code does work and there are no Errors or Warnings from ElixirLS or Dialyzer.

Importing/Aliasing the needed Modules directly, like

defmodule TestWeb.MyController
    use TestWeb :controller

    import Phoenix.Controller
    import Plug.Conn
    import TestWeb.Gettext
    alias TestWeb.Router.Helpers, as: Routes
...

does provide autocomplete and Documentation in VSCode.
So is ElixirLS not evaluating the __using__ macro for autocomplete? Or is maybe something wrong with my Setup?
And is there a way to make autocomplete work without importing/aliasing the Modules directly?

I just followed the instructions linked in the Github issue : https://dragoshmocrii.com/fix-vscode-elixirls-intellisense-for-code-imported-with-use/ and it works well.

(It is to compile ElixirLS with the local system Elixir install)

Thanks for the reproduction. I’m able to reproduce on my machines. Now just need to dig in.

FYI, we’re tracking this in #193:

Unfortunately I’m not sure there is an easy fix.
