Hi, I have some challenges compiling elixir-ls. I’m using Erlang 28.1.1 and Elixir 1.19.2-otp-28 installed with mise on Omarchy 3.1.5. using the latest nvim/lazyvim, I can see the following error generated in the logs in ~/.local/state/nvim/lsp.log.

[ERROR][2025-11-04 11:56:04] ...p/_transport.lua:36     "rpc"   "elixir-ls"     "stderr"        "==> elixir_ls_utils\nCompiling 10 files (.ex)\n"

Errors may have been logged above. You can recompile this dependency with "mix deps.compile elixir_ls --force", update it with "mix deps.update elixir_ls" or clean it with "mix deps.clean elixir_ls"\n'

Any idea what might be going on here?

Also, related question: is elixir-ls still supported, and is it better to switch to expert from now on? What are the pros and cons of using expert vs elixir-ls nowadays?

Nevermind, I was able to resolve this problem by uninstalling and installing the elixir-ls via Mason from inside nvim:

:MasonUninstall elixir-ls
:MasonInstall elixir-ls
