Feature Request: Let alchemist.vim call elixir_sense's "Referrers" code about alchemist.vim HOT 6 CLOSED

Sorry for the delay, was out of the loop for a little bit. :-)

vim-go gives a Location List window. I can happily share some screenshots if you'd like!

from alchemist.vim.

Thanks,

I played around with references but was not able to use it effectively. I saw there is some updates in elixir_sense upstream, I'll try it out again.

from alchemist.vim.

When I integrated elixir_sense, it didn't have this functionality. However I just checked elixir_sense and it does have a way to find references in the code.

How did vim-go show the result? Does it show it in a Quickfix window?

from alchemist.vim.

@slashmili Either a QuickFix or a location list would be fine, I think. Can location lists reference other files?

from alchemist.vim.

I experimented with references feature of ElixirSense

ElixirSense uses Mix Tasks, which works when you run ElixirSense using mix(I still need to figure out how) but in this project we are starting the server using elixir run.exs ... which causes this error

** (exit) exited in: GenServer.call(Mix.ProjectStack, {:get, #Function<11.36738168/1 in Mix.ProjectStack.peek/0>}, 30000)
    ** (EXIT) no process: the process is not alive or there's no process currently associated with the given name, possibly because its application isn't started
    (elixir) lib/gen_server.ex:999: GenServer.call/3
    lib/mix/project.ex:196: Mix.Project.config/0
    lib/mix/project.ex:521: Mix.Project.manifest_path/0
    lib/mix/tasks/xref.ex:760: Mix.Tasks.Xref.manifests/1
    lib/mix/tasks/xref.ex:220: Mix.Tasks.Xref.calls/1

One option could be to start the mix application manually

Application.ensure_all_started(:mix)

I'm still experimenting with that, I'll update the ticket when I have more information

from alchemist.vim.

Any update on this?
