Reproduce formatting in Sublime Text 4169 on macOS 14.4 with Elixir 1.16.1-OTP-26, Erlang 26.2.2, and asdf, while a mix phx.server process runs in iTerm2. Compare the formatting compilation behavior with the terminal process; done means the cause is identified and formatting no longer triggers a full recompile or crashes the server.

Description

Using Sublime Text 4169 on macOS 14.4 and asdf (elixir 1.16.1-otp-26, erlang 26.2.2), formatting a file triggers a full app recompile (and crash the web server started with mix phx.server in parallel). I guess the compilation in Sublime and in iTerm2 do not share the same compilation environment.

How to make sure Elixir Syntax uses the same compilation process as my default terminal?

Thanks
