Using vs code and installed ElixirLS: support and debugger. And I got an error popped up on start up says Failed to run ‘elixir’ command. ElixirLS will probably fail to launch. Logged PATH to Development Console. I think elixir command is in current path which elixir /home/user/.asdf/shims/eli…

You probably add asdf only to the PATH in your shells RC file. To make it available to your GUI as well you neet to add it to your .Xprofile or whatever is read by your GUI.

Actually, “development console” in that error refers to Chromium’s Electron’s VSCode’s development tools console, which is under the Help menu header on MacOS, and… might be in a similar enough part of the Windows menu if you dig around for it a bit, @Nefcairon . [development_console]

This ended up being the solution for me here on Groundhog’s Day, 2022. I forgot to set my global erlang asdf. Rectified, relaunched, resplendent.

Setting erlang and elixir globally solve the issue for me as well asdf global erlang <your_version> asdf global elixir <your_version>

I solved it using: sudo dnf install erlang-dialyzer sudo dnf install erlang-edoc asdf local elixir 1.13.3 asdf local erlang 24.3.4

Installing it globally worked for me on a M1 mac even with asdf installed via homebrew.

I have Manjaro with asdf and zsh. In my home I creatd a .profile file with this content: echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/home/<user>/.asdf/shims:/home/<user>/.asdf/bin"' > ~/.profile Just change <user> by your user name and it should work. If you already have this file I suggest you to do a backup.

I remove asdf from brew and install again with git and add asdf plugin to my .zshrc file

I prefer launching VSCode from the Mac OS toolbar, and it results in this error. Setting elixir and erlang global versions using asdf global ... doesn’t work for me.
