fails to autocomplete popup at all and logs an error

[brainlid]

System: Arch Linux Elixir version: 1.1.1 Atom: 1.0.19 The beam.smp process is running but stays at 0% CPU.

There is an error when attempting to open the autocomplete at all. With Atom editing an Elixir mix project and the following file...

defmodule TestingMixBuilds do
  def something do
    IO.puts "howdy"
  end
end

With the cursor on "IO.p" and pressing ctrl+space, no autocomplete is displayed. Opening the Atom Developer Tools, this is the error...

CLOSED 1, Last Error: ** (UndefinedFunctionError) undefined function: nil.current_env/0
    nil.current_env()

The autocomplete feature currently doesn't work at all for me. Would love to get it working. :)

Hello. Have You got autocomplete-plus installed?

[brainlid]

Yes. I previously checked all the requirements.

• autocomplete-plus (2.19.1) - a "core" Atom package that comes pre-installed. My only customization to this one was to change the "Keymap for Confirming a Suggestion" to "tab" from "tab and enter"
• autocomplete-snippets (1.7.1) - a "core" Atom package that comes pre-installed
• language-elixir (0.5.2) - installed. No customizations.

I have the same issue when using Elixir 1.1.1. Seems to work fine with Elixir 1.0.5, though.

Go to your ~/.atom/packages/autocomplete-elixir/lib/alchemide/autocompleter/autocomplete.exs

and add the autocomplete_server env var on the top.

Application.put_env(:iex, :autocomplete_server, IEx.Server)

Restart atom and your good to go.

Thanks! That works great. Any chance you'll do a new release within the next week or so? I'm speaking at an Elixir meetup and wanted to include a highlight of your package. :)

Thanks quickly providing a fix.

+1 for a bugfix release.
