Hi, I am fairly new to Elixir and it took me some time to figure out what errors like this one are about.

== Compilation error in file lib/language_server/dialyzer/analyzer.ex ==
** (RuntimeError) error parsing file /usr/lib/erlang/lib/dialyzer-4.1/src/dialyzer.hrl, got: {:error, :enoent}
    (elixir) lib/record/extractor.ex:84: Record.Extractor.read_file/2
    (elixir) lib/record/extractor.ex:50: Record.Extractor.extract_record/2
    lib/language_server/dialyzer/analyzer.ex:42: (module)
    (stdlib) erl_eval.erl:680: :erl_eval.do_apply/6

I think it may be worth updating the docs and make it clear that Erlang sources must be installed on the system to build this project.

This project has moved!

It's now being maintained by proactive volunteers from the Elixir community over at elixir-lsp/elixir-ls. Updates will continue to be published from that repo to the original VS Code extension, so no need to switch plugins if you're using VS Code.

If you're still interested in merging this PR, please do the following:

  1. Check that the issue you're addressing still occurs with the latest version of the VS Code plugin (which is published from the new repo)
  2. If your PR references a Github issue, check if there's already an issue filed on the new repo and create one if not
  3. Rebase your PR from the new repo (which has diverged significantly) and re-submit it there.

Thank you!
