Configuration
There are some ways Alchemist can be adjusted that certain workflows operating differently.
Mix setup
- Use a different shell command for mix.
(setq alchemist-mix-command "/usr/local/bin/mix")
- Use a different task for running tests.
(setq alchemist-mix-test-task "espec")
- Use custom mix test task options.
(setq alchemist-mix-test-default-options '()) ;; default
- Use a different environment variable in which mix tasks will run.
Mix tasks could always be executed in a specific environment with the usage of C-u
(universal-argument).
But if you like to change the run of Mix task permanently to a specific environment set it
through the variable.

(setq alchemist-compile-command "/usr/local/bin/elixirc") ;; default: elixirc
