Nextls server running in wrong workspace, keeps notifying of failed install deps

[rvonzimr]

I have a few separate elixir projects that I normally keep in a single workspace. Right now I'm seeing strange behavior looking at the nextLS log. With a few elixir projects app, chat, and core, within ./app/.elixir-tools/next-ls.log, I see:

10:04:52.454 [debug] sent notification server -> client $/progress

10:04:52.454 [debug] sent notification server -> client window/logMessage

10:04:52.454 [debug] Runtime for folder core is ready...

It seems NextLS is using the wrong project root between projects? Sometimes it doesn't complain, and things seem to work, other times it will continue to request to reinstall deps.. leading to duplicate builds running on each workspace:

when this happens, in the app log, I see:

10:10:21.423 [error] Runtime for folder chat failed to initialize

10:10:21.423 [debug] sent notification server -> client window/logMessage

10:10:21.423 [error] The runtime for chat has crashed with reason: {:shutdown, :unchecked_dependencies}

I noticed a closed issue that seems related: #85 Is this something that will not ever be supported? Hoping to switch away from Elixir LS, as it's very slow in giving back useful info but it does support workspaces. Here's the output panel showing each extension being run:

Question:

Do you have completions enabled? what elixir and OTP version(s) are you using with your projects?

There is a bug in a rebar3 dependency with 1.17/OTP27 that has a bug, and if you have completions enabled, it will internally use Elixir 1.17 instead of your system version (found on the PATH), which would lead i believe to dependency failures.

The dependencies are snappyer and port_compiler, and you can't actually easily update them because its a rebar3 plugin.

If it's not related to that, then I'll dig further.

Another thing to clarify regarding the .elixir-tools folder, it creates one in the folder's root and also the pwd of wherever nextls was actually started, and it seems like vscode is just picking one of the folders to start the exe in, not entirely sure why.

Regarding that previous issue, I think I misunderstood the screenshot and used the incorrect terminology, as the OP of that issue actually already did what I thought needed to be done, but I am not able to reproduce.

running elixir through ASDF, don't have elixir installed outside of that.

✗ elixir --version
Erlang/OTP 26 [erts-14.2.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:20:20] [ds:20:20:10] [async-threads:1] [jit:ns]

Elixir 1.15.7 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 26)

The extension runs fine when I only have a single elixir project loaded up as well

that deps issue was silly of me 😞

thanks for investigating the "go to definition" issue -- can you also find references? What about syntax errors / type issues?

[mhanberg]

yes, everything works as expected except for go to definition.

[mhanberg]

Seems like it was a bug, patch incoming.

[brunohkbx]

Same here, happens with umbrella dependencies. Any updates on this?

can you clarify exactly what your issue is? This issue issue already suffered from some confusion.

I installed the vscode extension but it can't seem to work due to the following error: The runtime for *** has crashed with reason: {:shutdown, :unchecked_dependencies}

Is the working_dir (redacted from your logs) the child app in the umbrella or the whole app?
