I have a question about environent variables in Spacemacs + lsp + elixir_ls + direnv.
I have env variables needed to compile the project in .envrc.
When I first start the lsp-mode it tries to compile the project in test env but it uses the variables from ~/elixir_ls/release instread of ~/myproject.
I am not sure what is the correct way to solve it. Should I configure the lsp layer somehow to run the backend with correct variables, or is it a problem with elixir_ls?

.env files are just a convention, perhaps it’s better to explicitly load them? Projectile should be able to load from your env file and start the LS in a way that has the env properly loaded?

Projectile loads them for sure. The part that runs tests with , t t works and compiles files. Emacs direnv package makes sure that correct env is loaded for each buffer. The problem is that language server runs with different env. The one elixir_ls/release if I am not mistaken.

I think I know what is the problem. Direnv mode executes after lsp starts, so it is too late to set the variables. I am not sure how to control in what order do the modes when opening elixir file.
[EDIT:] Found a solution. I can start lsp in deferred mode. In layer config I don’t set lsp backend in variables. Jsut putting elixir there.
Later I add lsp to hooks like this in user-config
(use-package lsp-mode
:hook (elixir-mode . lsp-deferred)
:diminish lsp-mode
:commands (lsp lsp-deferred))

Does anyone have trouble with Eglot? It displays most of the doc string for functions in the mini buffer and provides auto completion via company-mode, but linting isn’t working. Flymake is stuck on “Flymake:Wait[0 0]” with no errors.

Using lsp-mode, do I need to add anything to make documenation of functions show? In VSCode for example if it autocompletes on Enum.map(enumerable, fun) it also shows what the map function does.

I think it should just work by default, although you have to wait a second for it to show up. Here’s what it looks like for me:
You can also press , h h when over a call to get the full docs in a new split.

Hi I’m new and interested in emacs so I try to setup elixir development on spacemacs.
it’s seem elixir-ls not working, when I open elixir-ls::stderr buffer it says
/Users/arpple/elixir-ls/release/language_server.sh: line 18: elixir: command not found
I open the shell in spacemacs and run elixir also get command not found so I tried to export my path from .zshrc and elixir now work in shell but still not found for elixir-ls
my machine is macos catalina version 10.15
actually I’d tried spacemacs before with elixir and it’s work fine, not sure if it’s a about catalina update or something else

How do you start emacs? From a terminal (then it should inherit your PATH), the GUI or via a systemservice and emacsclient?
If you use one of the latter two versions, please try to start emacs via terminal and check if the problem exists there as well. If it works then, stick to that method of starting or provide the PATH in a way that it works for your means of starting.
Not sure how you provide additional PATHes to macOS GUI or system services though…
