VSCode ElixirLS: Jump to definition for stdlib functions?

[zeroexcuses]

Thanks for the insightful response.

Step 3 of

@axelson

• clone the elixir github repository
• Optionally check out a specific tag
• run make compile
• In the root of your project run asdf local elixir path:/path/to/elixir/ (where the path is the path to the github repo in step 1)
• In the root of your project run rm -rf _build .elixir_ls
• Open/restart your editor
• Wait for the build to complete

requires not merely cloning the source, but building it.

I’m on a weird Linux setup where running the newly built binary might be problematic. Can you offer insights on why Elixir_LS requires a newly built elixir rather than just a directory containing the sources ?

Thanks!
