Hello. I am using neovim mostly for coding in julia. Sadly, the julia LSP does not work. Every time I open a julia file I get the message “Client X quit with exit code 1 and signal 0”, and the LSP is dead. I have searched the Internet far and wide and spend way too much time trying to fix this, but so far have found no solution that worked.
This is inherently a difficult problem to post because it involves two complicated pieces of software (LangjuageServer.jl and neovim) trying to communicate. I already posted this question at the neovim discourse (here), but nobody over there seems to know whats wrong. Because LSP’s for other languages work (tested for lua, python, haskell) I assume it is a problem with julials specifically, thus I hope someone here might be able to help me.
My setup
- Ubuntu 23.04
- Neovim 0.9.1 (snap store)
- Julia 1.9.3 (snap store)
- LanguageServer.jl 4.4.0
- nvim Config: personalized setup based on kickstart. Irrelevant to the problem, I suspect (see below)
What I have tried so far
- reading most of neovim + LangugeServer thread
- updating node, npm
- uninstalling nvim, deleting all of
- .cache/nvim
- .config/nvim
- .local/share/nvim
- reinstalling nvim, downloading kickstart.nvim, installing julials via Mason
- installing a fresh sandbox Ubuntu on a usb stick, installing only nvim, julia, gcc and kickstart.nvim
The problem persisted with all of the above
More details
I do not think that my nvim config itself is the problem, because a) the exact same setup on a different machine (running windows) works fine, and b) switching out my config for plain kickstart.nvim changed nothing. Let me know if you think otherwise.
Interestingly, I know that the JuliaLS is installed and functioning correctly too, because if I start Jupyter and open a cell via firenvim, the juliaLSP starts and works just fine (and downloads the entire symbol cache for each cell). But upon opening a regular .jl file the LSP immediatly dies.
Neovim has a logfile where errors from it’s LSPs are recorded, but I checked and the dying clients leave no trace there.(But the running LSPs from firenvim send all of their status updates like ‘downloading symbol cache …’ as errors to the logfile for some reason).
The LSP of Jupyter itself (not neovims LSP through firenvim) also has trouble with julials, but at least it is a little more informative about what is going on. The error messages of julials appear in the jupyter console, I have pasted some at the end of this text.
Given the above (works on windows and jupyter cells, plus the error messages of jupyter) I suspect the LSP starts up, tries to scan my project/directory and then somehow crashes. I have tried for many weeks now to fix this but nothing appears to help so far. Any help about what is wrong or where to look next is welcome.
Additional Info
The Jupyter console prints one error messagefor julials at the beginning of the session and then more error messages for every edit
