Spacemacs lsp / elixir-mode not kick starting elixir-ls```

Hello all,

I’ve had my spacemacs configured a while back following some of the details here to use elixir-ls and it was working fine until I made a change, of course, and now the elixir-ls server wouldn’t start automatically when I open an elixir file, although it starts if I run lsp. I thought with the config I have below, when elixir-mode is enabled, I should see a connection to the elixir-ls in the minibuffer but that’s not happening unless I run lsp manually and then in every new file I open I’d have to again run lsp to connect to that same elixir-ls. Any suggestion how to fix this or help with debugging what actually is wrong here please?

(defun dotspacemacs/user-config () ;; Enable folding ;(setq lsp-enable-folding t) ;; Add origami and LSP integration (lsp-origami-try-enable) (add-hook 'lsp-after-open-hook #'lsp-origami-try-enable) (use-package elixir-mode :ensure t :bind (:map elixir-mode-map ("C-c C-F" . elixir-format) ("C-c C-t" . my/mix-run-test-at-point) ("C-c C-f" . my/mix-run-test-file))) (global-auto-complete-mode) (setq elixir :variables elixir-backend 'lsp) (use-package lsp-mode :commands lsp :ensure t :diminish lsp-mode :hook (elixir-mode . lsp) :init (add-to-list 'exec-path "~/elixir-ls/release")) (use-package lsp-ui :ensure t :defer 5 :after lsp-mode :config ;(setq lsp-ui-doc-enable t) ;(setq lsp-ui-doc-show nil) (setq lsp-ui-doc-delay 5000) :bind (("C-c C-l s" . 'lsp-ui-doc-show)) (("C-c C-l h" . 'lsp-ui-doc-hide)) (("C-c C-l g" . 'lsp-ui-doc-glance)) (("C-c C-l f" . 'lsp-ui-doc-focus-frame)) (("C-c C-l u" . 'lsp-ui-doc-unfocus-frame)) ) (defvar lsp-elixir--config-options (make-hash-table)) (add-hook 'lsp-after-initialize-hook (lambda () (lsp--set-configuration `(:elixirLS, lsp-elixir--config-options)))) ) ) 

Upon starting spacemacs, the *lsp-log* shows only the following:

This server does not support foldingRangeProvider 

Thanks in advance!

Okay, so testing my dotspacemacs config shows lsp failure but nothing more is found either in Messages or lsp-log, however, I found that the config eval stopped at (global-auto-complete-mode) which I had disabled earlier …

spacemacs *Messages* shows:

totally my bad! and lesson learned :joy:
