I am using the Starship cross-shell prompt – it seems pretty nice, but I get some errors:
[WARN] - (starship::utils): Executing command "elixir" timed out
I think this is because Starship tries to read the current version of Elixir in a directory because different directories might have different versions with asdf.
I have tried a few changes to the configuration in ~/.config/starship.toml:
scan_timeout = 1000
but it seems no difference is made.
Does anyone else use Starship? Maybe it is only me!
