Emacs Elixir lsp-mode broken
Hi All,
I’m not sure what happened but my Elixir LSP (in emacs) has stopped working ( I haven’t done anything to my .emacs file), it tries to restart with the error:
Server elixir-ls:2340/starting exited (check corresponding stderr buffer for details). Do you want to restart it? (y or n)
but then immediately stops working. I am using Elixir 1.16.0 and Erlang/OTP 26. Checking stderr per the recommendations I’m met with

I appreciate if anyone has seen this error before and has any solutions. I’ve installed asdf, but it was working just fine before, is there some chance it’s a simple error and I’m not launching the server from the right directory? And if that is the case what is the simple fix?
Thanks again!

Hi All!
In case anyone find this and is stuck in the future, I’ve solved it for my particular case.
Instead of using the 'exec-path, moving the files from the latest lsp (18 in this case) to the ~/.emacs.d/.cache/lsp/elixir-ls/ solved the problem.
Just make sure to remove conflicting files. (I’m sure there is a more elegant way to do this, but this solves it).

I had the same problem, thanks for the solution.
Very strange that emacs insists on using the cache location. I tried deleting the .emacs.d/.cache/lsp/elixir-ls before, and somehow it just pulled the same thing from github into that cache folder-- some version 0.16 of elixir-ls. Good idea to just put an updated build there.
