Cannot setup elixir 1.80.0

[nitingupta910]

Describe the bug

When setting up SDK, the IDE accepts 1.17.3 but fails when trying to add elixir 1.18.0 as SDK due to changed directory structure in 1.18.0.

The error from IDE is:

A valid home for Elixir SDK has the following structure: 

ELIXIR_SDK_HOME
* bin
 ** elixir
 ** elixirc
 ** iex
 ** mix
* lib
 ** eex
 ** elixir
 ** ex_unit
 ** iex
 ** logger
 ** mix 

However, 1.18.0 as the following directory structure:

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/elixir/1.18.0
├── CHANGELOG.md
├── INSTALL_RECEIPT.json
├── LICENSE
├── NOTICE
├── README.md
├── bin
│   ├── elixir -> ../lib/elixir/bin/elixir
│   ├── elixirc -> ../lib/elixir/bin/elixirc
│   ├── iex -> ../lib/elixir/bin/iex
│   └── mix -> ../lib/elixir/bin/mix
├── lib
│   └── elixir
├── sbom.spdx.json
└── share
    └── man

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

In IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate:

Setup Module SDK, Goto Platform Settings -> SDKs, Click '+' and navigate to /opt/homebrew/Cellar/elixir/1.18.0 and select this directory.

Once the folder is selected, click open and then you will see the above message about the expected directory structure.

Expected behavior

The plugin should accept 1.18.0 as the Elixir SDK.

Thanks! Looking into this, hopefully the last fix before the new SDK work goes in

Interesting, this looks like it's just homebrew. Compiling from source, and using mise both works.

One of these commits broke things: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/commits/a1f2d157ef737b83b31e2888f1fbd94e811f1480/Formula/e/elixir.rb

When doing a bisect:

brew uninstall elixir ; brew install elixir.rb --formula && ls $(brew --cellar elixir)/$(brew info --json elixir | jq -r '.[0].installed[0].version')/*

I highly recommend pinning Elixir and other dependencies and not relying on brew.

Log an issue with Homebrew, it'll probably impact others.
