coc-elixir is not working

[eddy147]

Description None of the features of coc-elixir in neovim are working for me.

Reproduction steps

• installed neovim v0.4.3
• installed coc with Plug as the only plugin as described in https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim
• installed coc-elixir with :CocInstall coc-elixir
• restart neovim, open on existing elixir project, result, see picture

• no code completion or any elixir features available
• I also executed https://github.com/amiralies/coc-elixir#server-fails-to-start, but no change.

My setup Ubuntu v18.04 neovim v0.4.3 checkhealth is OK for coc

Can you pase elixir output channel logs? :CocCommand workspace.showOutput elixir

[eddy147]

[coc.nvim] Channel "elixir" not found ok that is at least clear there is something not right

[amiralies]

is coc-elixir available in :CocList extensions ?

[eddy147]

(Thx for your swift response) Yes, attached screenshot:

[amiralies]

Can you start server in command line ? i.e. running $ .config/coc/extensions/node_modules/coc-elixir/els-release/language_server.sh in shell

[eddy147]

does this mean the server is running?

:CocCommand workspace.showOutput elixir gives the same output (channel not found)

[amiralies]

The output in shell means you can run the compiled server (which is shipping by coc-elixir) on your machine, The only thing I can think of now is that the file type is not correct. Try this: open your elixir file, enter :set ft=elixir and see if it works

That seemed to do the trick!

Thank you so much for your time. One question I have left: Is it part of the coc-elixir to see syntax coloring or should I do that with a different setting/plugin? Thx again

[amiralies]

You have to install vim-elixir for syntax highlights. It also fixes your filetype problem

Thx so much! 👍
