The mods (or people promoted to Level 4 I think) can split topics too, but since we cannot, here is my relevant post from there.

I have installed:

• atom-elixir
• atom-elixir-playground (I’m not sure if I’ve ever touched this one yet though)
• autocomplete-elixir (love it)
• build-elixir
• elixir-cmd
• language-elixir
• linter-elixir-credo (love it)
• phoenix-elixir-snippets

I’m not entirely sure all which commands and functionality I use from which, but I like my work-flow.

EDIT: I also use Elm, and the atom-plugins for elm well out-do that for other IDE’s.

Hmm, it seems to work fine for me (not perfectly instant-appearing, though this is a quite a large project): https://overminddl1.com/screenshots/work/Atom-Elixir-0.gif

I’m just typing random stuff, occasionally have to stop to think of what to type next but it lets you see what is appearing at least. ^.^

Hah. I was looking into one of the other packages you mentioned, elixir-cmd, and at the bottom of its readme it has:

it is active when the project has a mix file in its root directory

At some point in the past, I started using Atom at the base directory of my repo and not the umbrella app. This has brought back the functions. I wonder if atom-elixir works now.

Edit: Submitted a PR for the readme.

Heh, yeah almost all atom language packages work by assuming you open the project directory as the root, almost none can work otherwise.

Indeed. But should a newcomer to the ecosystem have to have that kind of special knowledge? I only ask in reference to ease the onboarding process. It’s always obvious once you know the answer!
