how to run elixir

[Hack-yao]

想要运行Elixir 代码怎么配置呢？

[formulahendry]

elixir is already supported. What issue do you meet with?

[Hack-yao]

I have installed elixir on my computer. 运行elixir代码出现如下提示： "Code language not supported or defined."

What configuration should I do to avoid that？

[formulahendry]

What's the file extension of you elixir file? Is it .ex or .exs?

[Hack-yao]

The extension is .ex doesn't work, but the .exs works fine. Also I noticed when I just create a temporary without saving it and change the language mode to Elixir, it will not run the code. But it works fine under the python language mode.

The way I worked around it was to use mix to run the script and use the script in my root directory (same directory as your mix files).

I just added this into the user settings

	"code-runner.executorMap": {
		"elixir": "mix run"
	}

I second this - Elixir is not supported by default. ctrl+alt+J does not show "elixir" as a language option.

mix run only runs .exs, you need to me explicit if you want to run another extension.

{
   "code-runner.executorMapByFileExtension": {
        ".ex": "mix run --no-mix-exs",
        ".exs": "mix run"
    }
}

{
   "code-runner.executorMapByFileExtension": {
        ".ex": "mix run --no-mix-exs",
        ".exs": "mix run"
    }
}

thank you so much for sharing this! you just made my day!
