Are you planning add support iex -S mix debugging? about vscode-elixir-ls HOT 5 CLOSED

I can imagine what big-town is asking for, because I might have the same request.
It's pretty simple.
I want to attach an iex session via --remsh, so I can use the iex session to execute code, that runs into a breakpoint and can such be debugged.

I achieved this by adding an "sname" to the elixir invocation in the debugger.sh

In the following file:
.vscode/extensions/elixir-lsp.elixir-ls-0.3.2/elixir-ls-release/debugger.sh
I changed the elixir line to:
elixir --sname debug -e "ElixirLS.Debugger.CLI.main()"

Then i can attach to that process with:
iex -S mix --remsh debug --sname debug-client

Obviously the sname could be something else.
Unfortunately, I'm a newbie about github and pull-requests.

Can you explain more about what you mean by "iex -S mix debugging"?

from vscode-elixir-ls.

Excuse me I didn’t answer for so long. I mean for the debugging process in interactive mode. For example: I run my application like this: iex --name service@host. Usually I execute set of command :debugger.start, :int.ni Module, :int.break Module, row. Similar algorithm implements the Idea IDE with an extension for elixir.

A PR would be welcome

ELS_ELIXIR_OPTS and ELS_ERL_OPTS are now supported. You can pass --sname --cookie mycookie via ELS_ELIXIR_OPTS and connect to it from iex session. I believe this issue is now resolved.
