ElixirLS Extension Not Working, Support Needed using ASDF & Brew & Elixir
Good day, folks!
This is my first day using Elixir (1.14.4 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 25)) & the ElixirLS: Elixir support and debugger VS Code extension (v0.15.3).
When I try running the extension on VS Code (for my code “checkmate_api”), I receive an error about
the module ElixirLS.Shell.Quiet.

I’ve been racking my brain trying to understand what’s happening here and this has led to many installs, uninstalls, and reinstalls using homebrew & asdf. When installing elixir via asdf, I’ve noticed that in my root directory of my “users/nathangupta”, we create a hidden directory with an elixir executable:
/Users/nathangupta/.asdf/shims/elixir
and then the versions are added in the “installs” directory.
I’ve also noticed that I have elixir in this directory /usr/local/Cellar/elixir/1.15.2 likely because I did brew install elixir.
What I don’t understand is why we look for ASDF twice if it’s found the first time, and I’m not sure what’s happening the second time around.
For additional context, this is my ./zshrc file.
if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then eval "$(pyenv init -)"; fi

I don’t use VSCode, but other editor that integrates with Elixir LS and I think I saw an issue where it didn’t work if I started my editor from a different path than my project path.
So what I do is that I open a terminal, then navigate to the project directory. This picks up the .tool-version file and sets all the paths and env variables up and from within that directory I launch my code editor.
Did you try doing exactly that?

I also use asdf and I had a similar problem. I solved it by adding erlang to my ~/.tool-versions
elixir 1.15.7
erlang 26.0

Strange issue, I opened Launch script can fail · Issue #944 · elixir-lsp/elixir-ls · GitHub
It looks like ElixirLS.Shell.Quiet is already compiled in your shell. Have you installed elixir-ls from brew?
You should be able to execute /Users/nathangupta/.vscode/extensions/jakebecker.elixir-ls-0.15.3/elixir-ls-release/language_server.sh from your project directory. You can also try directly running the launch script
export ELS_MODE=language_server
export MIX_ENV=prod
elixir --erl "-kernel standard_io_encoding latin1" "/Users/nathangupta/.vscode/extensions/jakebecker.elixir-ls-0.15.3/elixir-ls-release/launch.exs"
maybe it will help to spot what’s wrong
What I don’t understand is why we look for ASDF twice
The launch script starts as a POSIX shell script and then it reloads itself as bash or zsh script. ASDF does not support POSIX shell

Really appreciate the suggestion. I gave this a shot & still no luck. I’m seeing the same error.
Thank you for this suggestion too! And I appreciate you opening the issue in the extension repo. So I didn’t install elixir-ls directly; instead I installed elixir using homebrew & the elixir-ls extension on VS Code. However, I’ve since tried installing elixir-ls via brew, and I’m seeing the same issue.
What I’m trying to figure out is where I might have an extra path or an extra install that’s leading to an already compiled ElixirLS.Shell.Quiet

Unfortunately I’m not able to reproduce your issue. Please uninstall brew installed elixir-ls as it’s some unofficial package. Clean up your extension directory as well. Also in my experience ASDF, elixir and erlang installed via brew equals problems
