I actually just disable that with '(lsp-ui-doc-enable nil) in spacemacs custom-set-variables. But it would probably be better to raise an error on lsp-ui. It looks like there is a semi-related issue open already: Too small window for docstring · Issue #267 · emacs-lsp/lsp-ui · GitHub And perhaps you could try setting lsp-ui-doc-use-webkit to t?

Doesn’t do anything 
I’ll just disable it for now and keep watching the issue.
FWIW, the scala LSP doesn’t have these big popups

I’m trying to use elixir_ls on a monorepo with an elixir application in a subdirectory in spacemacs. lsp-mode works when I use it on a standalone elxiir repo, with flycheck errors showing up.
From googling it seems I need to set ElixirLS.ProjectDir - Monorepo: "No mixfile found in project root." · Issue #29 · JakeBecker/elixir-ls · GitHub. I’ve tried doing this with :lsp-add-project-dir and :lsp-switch-project-dir, but that doesn’t seem to help. Has anyone had any success with this scenario?

Thanks for putting this wiki together first of all.
I used to get this working on spacemacs, but I have a new laptop at work and although I copied all my spacemacs and emacs settings, I cannot get elixir_ls to work.
I’m getting the following error:
LSP :: elixir-ls has exited (exited abnormally with code 127)
I think it may have sth to do with elixir version. I initially installed 1.8 using homebrew, but having re-read the instructions, I installed asdf and I think I switched to the recommended version of Elixir. But still no joy and elixir-ls seems to be crashing when I open an Elixir file in spacemacs.
Any idea how to troubleshoot this?

Ok. I found that spacemacs cannot find the elixir binary.
code/elixir/elixir-ls/release/language_server.sh: line 18: elixir: command not found
I tried adding ~/.asdf/shims to the path but still not working. But I think I may be on the right track. Just need to figure out how to support asdf in spacemacs.

Does your .spacemacs.env (~/.spacemacs.env or ~/.spacemacs.d/.spacemacs.env) have elixir in $PATH?

I added ~/.asdf/shims to $PATH in ~/.spacemacs.env and checked the value of exec-path variable in spacemacs and it now contains the path to elixir from from asdf but elixir-ls is still not starting with the same error.
I instrumented the language_server.sh script by adding:
>&2 echo Environment is
>&2 env
>&2 echo elixir is
>&2 which elixir
And now can see in the *elixir-ls::stderr* buffer that something is resetting the $PATH to:
Environment is
...
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
...
elixir is
/Users/myuser/code/elixir/elixir-ls/release/language_server.sh: line 24: elixir: command not found

What operating system is this? Also what shell are you using? I’m wondering if this is a difference between something like ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc. My ~/.bash_profile contains . ~/.bashrc to source my whole bashrc (although in this case you only need the correct $PATH)

The operating system is macOS Mojave. Shell is zsh + oh-my-zsh plugins.
I found a post on Reddit suggesting to delete emac.d/melpa: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/ab34v5/lspmode_unable_get_up_and_running/
Having done so I found that my .spacemacs.env had two PATH= lines so I deleted the one which had fewer directories. Not sure which step fixed it because unfortunately I did both things at the same time but everything is working now.
I’ve later added the incomplete PATH= back to my .spacemacs.env and it’s still working so it looks more like purging melpa packages and re-installing them did the trick.
I had moved my .emacs.d directory from a different laptop which was running a different version of MacOS so there may have been some binaries there which were not compatible with the current OS ?
Thanks for the help!
