Great, thanks for the info! ElixirLS is the extension that I’m using at the moment.

I’ve had it installed for quite a while so maybe something broke recently. I did find this on the plugin’s issues list on GitHub. Instead of clicking OK, click Apply and then Cancel when mapping the paths…then it should let you pick the SDK from the dropdown.
Also if you started IntelliJ in the project directory and are using Rubymine or one of the other “small IDE’s”, delete the .idea directory from the project and retry in the small IDE. Sometimes the full Intellij puts things in that are not compatible with the small IDE’s like RubyMine.

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, I’ve already tried the “cancel” trick, it does allow me to keep the Elixir SDK in the settings, but I’m still getting the warning “Elixir Module SDK is not defined”. Here is a screenshot of this. I haven’t tried the other suggestion though: removing the .idea folder from the project. After doing that, the error has changed from “Elixir Module SDK is not defined” to “Elixir Facet SDK is not defined”.

I also use VSCode. Coming from Jet Brains IDEs I struggled sometimes with VSCode but I’ve downloaded an official Microsoft VSCode Cheatsheet like this for Windows: VSCode Cheatsheet and it really helped me to get some traction!

Just to throw another Vim experience in the mix (hee hee): I use vim + ALE + Elixir-LS. Recently I have had issues with that causing massive CPU usage (maxing out one core). I tried disabling Dialyzer in the Elixir-LS config but this did not help. Using credo as the linter seems to have resolved this problem so far and seem snappier in general. Credo also provides more guidance for stylistic changes, which I find helpful.

Are you using that at all times now for Elixir development? That is what I’m betting on eventually, but seems a few months away from being fully usable. I’m coming from neovim+alchemist and at least one thing it’s missing is the ability to kick off a unit test under cursor last I checked.

I noticed you were using the Homebrew installed packages in the screenshot, so I tried on my daughter’s iMac which had nothing installed previously and is running Catalina. Did a fresh install of Homebrew, Erlang and Elixir and the latest version of RM. I had zero issues. Did you happen to ever set up Elixir via any other method (like ASDF, etc.)? Perhaps the Homebrew one is not active?
Deleting the .idea folder may help. I’ve had issues in the past trying to share an Elixir project with IntelliJ CE and RM. The .iml files are slightly different and it would screw up the second IDE you tried.
I did play around with VSCode today a little. Takes a lot of set up/plugins to get what comes natively with RM and IntelliJ Elixir…still missing a few things like the nice test runner, but it works. Im still partial to the JetBrains IDE’s though, maybe just familiarity.
If you are still interested in getting it going, file an issue with @KronicDeth on the plugin GitHub. He’s been super helpful when I’ve been stuck or had issues.
