I think I tried to follow your steps ( except for installing julia 1.7) but this is not working for me somehow.
as you can see, the `juliacompleter` server is dead. Can you give me some clue about what to check?

Show your config for julia.
eg:
```nohighlight
let s:julia_cmdline = ['julia', '--startup-file=no', '--history-file=no', expand('~/.vim/lsp-julia/run.jl')]
let g:ycm_language_server += [
\ { 'name': 'julia',
\ 'filetypes': ['julia'],
\ 'project_root_files': ['Project.toml'],
\ 'cmdline': s:julia_cmdline
\ },
\ ]
```
In `lsp-julia/run.jl`
```julia
using LanguageServer;
using Pkg;
import StaticLint;
import SymbolServer;
server = LanguageServer.LanguageServerInstance(stdin, stdout, "", "");
server.runlinter = false;
run(server);
```
Don’t forget to exec `./install.py --enable-julia` in `lsp-examples`
And show your ycm log in `/tmp`

I am using NeoVim v0.6.1 and Julia v1.7.2. and I installed the plugins you mentioned.
```julia
Plug 'ycm-core/YouCompleteMe'
Plug 'ycm-core/lsp-examples'
Plug 'JuliaEditorSupport/julia-vim', {'for': 'julia'}
```
then I first tried with the config you posted. It did not work. then I tried to follow some other guides and ran `./install.py --enable-julia` in `lsp-examples`, which suggested to `source ~/.local/share/nvim/plugged/lsp-examples/vimrc.generated`. which has the following config
```julia
let g:ycm_lsp_dir = '/home/$USER/.local/share/nvim/plugged/lsp-examples'
let g:ycm_language_server = []
let s:julia_cmdline = ['julia', '--startup-file=no', '--history-file=no', '-e', '
\ using LanguageServer;
\ using Pkg;
\ import StaticLint;
\ import SymbolServer;
\ env_path = dirname(Pkg.Types.Context().env.project_file);
\ debug = false;
\
\ server = LanguageServer.LanguageServerInstance(stdin, stdout, debug, env_path, "", Dict());
\ server.runlinter = true;
\ run(server);
\ ']
let g:ycm_language_server += [
\ { 'name': 'julia',
\ 'filetypes': ['julia'],
\ 'project_root_files': ['Project.toml'],
\ 'cmdline': s:julia_cmdline
\ },
\ ]
```
I have then tried using `Plug 'autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim'` but that did not work either. So I am assuming I am missing a very basic step, which I cannot figure out on my own.

1st, I’m using Julia v1.7.2 and vim8.2. I’m not sure whether it’s suitable for neovim. But I guess it should work.
2nd, don’t use the config you posted.
If you `@doc LanguageServer.LanguageServerInstance`, you will find how to use LanguageServerInstance. Or if the doc is not right, then you should check the source code of LanguageServer, which is not hard if you use ctags. It may be not the ycm team’s fault, LanguageServer’s API may have often been changed.
And I suggest you split your julia config as I do because it’s convenient to modify. Note: without the `-e`.
3rd, the log
`ValueError: No semantic completer exists for filetypes: ['vim']`
confuses me.
Does lsp-examples work for other languages?

Or you should try neovim built-in lsp. It sounds great. though I’m satisfied with my current workflow

I have not tried lsp with other languages.
I don’t understand what you mean by `@doc LanguageServer.LanguageServerInstance` I tried running this in `julia` but that did not show me anything.
