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.

full error output is this. Failed to run ‘elixir’ command. ElixirLS will probably fail to launch. Logged PATH to Development Console. and I am using manjaro linux

Yes you are right. Starting vs code from gui only shows error, and starting fro terminal using code . works fine

How can you do it under MacOS ?

Same problem for me with Gui on Mac & zsh. No luck adding $HOME/.asdf/shims to PATH neither on $HOME/.zshenv nor $HOME/.zprofile

Your GUI does not care about settings in .zshenv and .zprofile, both of them are used by zsh only. Though if your installed version of Elixir-LS is recent enough (I think it became added in 0.3.0 or 0.4.0), then asdf should be found by it if $HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh exists. https://github.com/elixir-ls…

I saw that as well. However asdf.sh is not there: ls ${HOME}/.asdf/  installs/  plugins/  repository/  shims/  tmp/ I did try creating a link ln -s /usr/local/opt/asdf/asdf.sh asdf.sh But failed miserably because the script points to directories relative to the original as…

Does your integrated terminal in vscode have the necessary envs? I guess thats what vscode uses to launch elixir-ls

Try a local user install as described by asdf rather than some package manager that installs system wide.

Thanks @NobbZ Installed asdf again from sources –not using brew- and it works smoothly. @lukaszsamson my integrated terminal is zsh and loads every other terminal outside of VSCode.
