Solarized dark.

Hi does anyone have up to date Spacemacs + Alchemist tutorial for noob? I spent over an hour today trying to make it work. I can’t find company-mode nowhere on ELPA or elswhere, is it deprecated? Spacemacs tries to add to my dotfile elixir everytime i open .ex file, and yet not even syntax is colorized I get error about perspectives not being found anywhere on elpa too. Also don’t know and didn’t find any thorough info how to set indentation level, there are just bits of info without concrete information like this: put this line xxx to that file xxx.xxx in this function (xxx)( HERE ) :(.

Same, I use solarized dark about everywhere, even as my github theme. ^.^

Would you mind sharing a gist of your .spacemacs file?

AstonJ · November 26, 2016, 12:02am

I keep meaning to port Elixify over…

sztosz · November 26, 2016, 7:43am

Not at all, here it is. https://gist.github.com/sztosz/3b31e2aff9c45e2e204d2788dea3c20c I’d appricieate if you can look it over

I think i may have solved problem the hard way. I deleted .spacemacs and let it recreate on next startup.

terakilobyte · November 26, 2016, 9:05am

I had a quick look. Do me a favor, give my config file a try and see if you like it.

You can also check the differences to see where I enabled alchemist and auto-completion.

Thank you I had to comment out font ligatures substitution, function from line 253 because it freezed on SPC b b but other then that I have working Alchemist, and a base to start learning emacs Thank you very much

terakilobyte · November 26, 2016, 10:25am

Awesome! Those font ligatures are awesome, might be worth investigating why it is freezing on spc b b

I also feel it’s a pretty rad setup for JavaScript. If you need help I can tell you how to condense things with tern, generate and setup your tern file, and have intelligent autocomplete for your favorite JS libs (mine are react, redux, rxjs).

It’s also set up for elm and go and rust and clojure and… I play around too much.

I hate JS, really, really hate it When people ask me to help with JS I tell them that I don’t understand it, and even I see an obvious bug I keep my mouth shut and play stupid, they stop bothering me with JS sooner or later. So I appreciate the offer, but I don’t think I need anything JS related to be honest

With the ligatures problem there is this issue Some features hang with font ligatures · Issue #6468 · syl20bnr/spacemacs · GitHub but it’s closed. I’m on mac sierra using emacs macport maybe that is the issue. Don’t have time now to investigate, but If I’ll find solution I’ll post it.

terakilobyte · November 26, 2016, 10:54am

Oh, I had an issue with freezing too when I tried out emacs-plus as suggested on the installation guide. I solved it by brew uninstalling emacs-plus, brew installing emacs-mac. Sounds like you are on emacs-mac though, so dunno.

Anyway, enjoy!

I didn’t know about Fira Code font, I should check it out, @terakilobyte why do you include alchemist on the additional-packages, isn’t it included with the Elixir layer?

terakilobyte · November 26, 2016, 8:45pm

It might be now, dunno. My config file has changed very little over time. I’ve only changed it when I want something new or need to fix something, and currently “it ain’t broke”.

vic · December 25, 2016, 1:19am

Hey, I’ve just published my Rebecca theme. I currently use it for my Elixir coding. It’s based on dracula and gloom.

gon782 · December 25, 2016, 7:39am

I wanted to try it out, but it doesn’t seem like it’s actually up on MELPA yet. Do you have an ETA on that? I see that as of writing there was apparently a build going on and they apparently take 4 hours. Do you think it’ll be in the next load on MELPA?

vic · December 25, 2016, 8:17am

If you do use spacemacs, and have a custom layer for your themes, you can fetch it from github otherwise we’d have to wait for the MELA recipe to be available.

@gon782 looks like it’s ready now.

gon782 · December 25, 2016, 10:26am

Checking it out now. The obvious downside is that like a lot of dark themes with dark-but-not-black backgrounds it looks wonky in a terminal (odd blue background), but it looks really nice in the GUI version. I’m gonna use it as my main theme for the coming week and we’ll see how it goes. Thanks!

AstonJ · January 10, 2017, 1:55am

Hi all, I am just updating the wiki, can you please confirm the recommended set-up installation procedure please? Is it as follows:

Install Emacs
Install SpaceMacs

Then:

Install Elixir Layer as per https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/tree/master/layers/%2Blang/elixir (includes Alchemist)

OR

Install Alchemist via https://github.com/tonini/alchemist.el#installation

What’s the best approach?

Forseth · January 10, 2017, 9:03am

Use the first approach. the second one is for pure emacs and might be discovered as an orphan and deleted by Spacemacs.

bobbypriambodo · January 10, 2017, 9:41am

“Best” is kinda hard, but the elixir layer on spacemacs brings more to the table than installing only alchemist, so it is probably the recommended approach (for me personally, at least). And what @Forseth said.
