Important

Next LS now has support for Credo, so Credo Language Server will not receive further significant updates.

credo-language-server

Discord Hex.pm GitHub Discussions

credo-language-server is an LSP implementation for Credo.

Features

  • Project wide diagnostics
  • Code Actions

Editor Support

  • Neovim: elixir-tools.nvim
  • VSCode: elixir-tools.vscode
  • Emacs

    Using lsp-mode:

    credo-language-server is included with lsp-mode and can be installed by running M-x lsp-install-server credo-language-server.

    You might want to set the lsp-credo-version to the latest release:

    (custom-set-variables '(lsp-credo-version "0.1.3"))

    or by running M-x customize-group lsp-credo and updating the version.

    Visit lsp-mode for detailed installation instructions.

    Using eglot:

    (require 'eglot) (add-to-list 'exec-path "path/to/credo-language-server/bin") (with-eval-after-load 'eglot (add-to-list 'eglot-server-programs `((elixir-ts-mode heex-ts-mode elixir-mode) . ("credo-language-server" "--stdio=true")))) (add-hook 'elixir-mode-hook 'eglot-ensure) (add-hook 'elixir-ts-mode-hook 'eglot-ensure) (add-hook 'heex-ts-mode-hook 'eglot-ensure)

    Eglot only allows one server per mode, but it is possible to configure eglot alternatives to prompt for a specific language server.

    (require 'eglot) (setq exec-path (append exec-path '("path/to/credo-language-server/bin" "path/to/elixir-ls/bin"))) (add-to-list 'eglot-server-programs `((elixir-mode elixir-ts-mode heex-ts-mode) . ,(eglot-alternatives `(,(if (and (fboundp 'w32-shell-dos-semantics) (w32-shell-dos-semantics)) '("language_server.bat") '("language_server.sh")) ("credo-language-server" "--stdio=true")))))
  • Helix

    Here is an example configuration for languages.toml

    [[language]] name = "elixir" scope = "source.elixir" injection-regex = "elixir" file-types = ["ex", "exs"] roots = ["mix.exs"] auto-format = false diagnostic-severity = "Hint" comment-token = "#" indent = {tab-width = 2, unit = " "} language-servers = ["elixir-ls", "credo"] [language-server.elixir-ls] command = "elixir-ls" config = { elixirLS.dialyzerEnabled = true } [language-server.credo] command = "/path/to/executable/credo-language-server" args = ["--stdio=true", "--port=999"]

Installation

The preferred way to use credo-language-server is through one of the supported editor extensions.

If you need to install credo-language-server on it's own, you can download the executable hosted by the GitHub release. The executable is an Elixir script that utilizes Mix.install/2.

Note

Credo Language Server creates an .elixir-tools hidden directory in your project.

This should be added to your project's .gitignore.
