`neovim` has built in lsp support and can be integrated with any language server. I thought I’d describe the set up for using LanguageServer.jl and `neovim`.

You need to use the latest version of neovim at the moment. I’m using the HEAD, the version information is below.

```julia
$ nvim --version
NVIM v0.5.0-nightly-71-g1f56f9a4b
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.0.5

```

Use your favorite plugin manager to add the following package [`neovim/nvim-lsp`](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lsp) to your vimrc. I am using [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug).

```julia
Plug 'neovim/nvim-lsp' | " collection of common configurations for the Nvim LSP client.

```

Also add the following lines anywhere in your vimrc below the plugin section.

```julia
lua << EOF
    require'nvim_lsp'.julials.setup{}
EOF

```

And you can configure maps to run `vim.lsp.{functions}`:

```julia
nnoremap <silent> <leader>ld <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.declaration()<CR>
nnoremap <silent> <leader>lh <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.hover()<CR>
nnoremap <silent> <leader>ld <cmd>lua vim.lsp.util.show_line_diagnostics()<CR>
nnoremap <silent> <leader>lk <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.signature_help()<CR>
nnoremap <silent> <leader>lr <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.references()<CR>

```

You can run `:LspInstall julials` in neovim to install LanguageServer.jl. Or you can do so manually in your global environment.

And that’s it!

I’ve posted my configuration here if anyone wants to take a look at the full file for how this is set up:

> <https://github.com/kdheepak/dotfiles/blob/40d2ab63ed2eca62e4e8e4e5cb44942641c19430/.vimrc#L537-L548>

I was trying to use your solution in neovim, but unfortunately it does not work for me.

LspInstallInfo gives:

```julia
{                                                                                                                                
  julials = {
    is_installed = true
  }
}

```

with a .jl file open and invoking

```julia
lua print(vim.inspect(vim.lsp.buf_get_clients()))

```

gives

```julia
{}

```

So, certainly there is something wrong.  
My init.vim looks like this:

```julia
call plug#begin('~/.local/share/nvim/plugged')

Yes, I am using neovim nightly:

```julia
NVIM v0.5.0-478-g42b441738

```

I digged a little deeper and when I execute:

```julia
lua require('nvim_lsp').julia.setup{}

```

I get a lot of error messages like this:

```julia
E5108: Error executing lua .../flo/.local/share/nvim/plugged/nvim-lsp/lua/nvim_lsp.lua:77: module 'nvim_lsp/julia' not found:

So far so good 🙂

Can you check on your computer what is in the `nvim_lsp` folder?

In:

```julia
/home/flo/.config/nvim/

```

is only my

```julia
init.vim

```

I do not even have a nvim\_lsp folder.  
I certainly messed something up with installation paths. I am using vim-plug and normally my plugins are located in:

```julia
~/.local/share/nvim/plugged

```

As you probably already have seen from my init.vim.

Here is the configuration for some capabilities of [Julia’s LanguageServer.jl](https://github.com/julia-vscode/LanguageServer.jl) and [Neovim’s built-in Language Server Protocol (LSP) client](https://neovim.io/doc/user/lsp.html), and some instructions to install this setup.

I’m hoping people can try it with neovim and report issues if they come across it. The more people that use this, the better this functionality will get.

# Capabilities

The `.vimrc` code corresponding to the capability is linked below the each screencapture.

# Install

If you’d like to use this you will need the following:

1. [neovim v0.5.0](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/tag/nightly)
2. [`neovim/nvim-lsp`](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lsp)

The `neovim/nvim-lsp` repository contains language server configurations for a bunch of languages.  
Once you have `neovim/nvim-lsp` installed with your favorite plugin manager, you can run `:LspInstall julials`.  
That will download and install `LanguageServer.jl` and `SymbolServer.jl` into your global environment.  
You may also want [`JuliaEditorSupport/julia-vim`](https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/julia-vim) for syntax highlighting and other niceties.

At the moment you’ll have to make some changes to `julials` file. The changes required are in this PR: [https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lsp/pull/258](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lsp/pull/258).

And, at the moment neovim v0.5.0 isn’t released yet. You’ll have to get the latest commit on `master` and build from source, or download a release from the [`nightly`](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/tag/nightly) tag on github.  
This also means that the lsp client is not stable yet.  
And there may be bugs.

One such bug that I ran into is that LanguageServer.jl does not support `textDocument/declaration` and `textDocument/typeDeclaration`, but the neovim LSP client still sends the request if the user makes that request call.  
This causes LanguageServer.jl to crash, and this looks like a silent failure from the user perspective.  
This is resolved in this PR: [https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/12421](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/12421).  
You can make the same changes locally to your `runtime/lua/vim` folder.

Here is a minimal `.vimrc` configuration that works with `NVIM v0.5.0-539-g91e41c857`.

```vim
set nocompatible
filetype off

if empty(glob('~/.local/share/nvim/site/autoload/plug.vim'))
  silent !curl -fLo ~/.local/share/nvim/site/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs
    \ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
  autocmd VimEnter * PlugInstall --sync | source $MYVIMRC
endif

call plug#begin('~/.local/share/nvim/plugged')

Plug 'JuliaEditorSupport/julia-vim'
Plug 'neovim/nvim-lsp'

call plug#end()

lua << EOF
    require'nvim_lsp'.julials.setup{}
EOF

autocmd Filetype julia setlocal omnifunc=v:lua.vim.lsp.omnifunc

nnoremap <silent> <c-]> <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.definition()<CR>
nnoremap <silent> K <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.hover()<CR>
nnoremap <silent> gr <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.references()<CR>
nnoremap <silent> g0 <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.document_symbol()<CR>

```

Once you have this, you should be able to open a `.jl` file and `LanguageServer.jl` will start up!  
It may take some time for `SymbolServer.jl` to cache the symbols the first time you run it, so be prepared to wait for a while.  
You can type `:lua print(vim.lsp.get_log_path())<CR>` in neovim to get the path to the language server log file.  
When you see `[ Info: Received new data from Julia Symbol Server.` you should be good to go.

Unfortunatly, I can not get this to work with my environment.  
After doing all your changes I get the following error in the log file:

Are you sure you are using this branch? [Fix julials configuration by kdheepak · Pull Request #258 · neovim/nvim-lspconfig · GitHub](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lsp/pull/258)

The current `master` branch passes the `Bool` value `false` as the third argument, which would cause this erro. But this PR fixes it. You’ll also need the latest version of LanguageServer and SymbolServer.

So I investigated a little.  
In your fix for the julials file you have the lines  
`empty!(LOAD_PATH)`  
`push!(LOAD_PATH, "@") `  
These lead to an empty `Base.load_path()` for me and this in turn than crashes with my posted error message, when I access `Base.load_path()[1]` in the `@info line`.

Nice debugging! Why is `Base.load_path()` empty if `push!(LOAD_PATH, "@")` is in there though? I based that code of this: [eglot-jl/eglot-jl.jl at master · non-Jedi/eglot-jl · GitHub](https://github.com/non-Jedi/eglot-jl/blob/master/eglot-jl.jl)

Can you try removing the the `empty!(LOAD_PATH)` and see if it works for you?

Yeah, thanks that works for me!

Thanks a lot for your effort.

The only thing that is not working right now is the auto-complete.

Awesome guide and thanks for making the PR. I was banging my head against the wall with `nvim` and nvim-lsp which should support julia. I just couldn’t get it to work. Luckily with your patch it works. 🙂 The only trouble I have is the auto-complete which doesn’t seem to work on my end. Are you using any other ingredient than above to make that work?

Autocomplete might not be working for me as well actually. I am using neosnippets and I think that is somehow getting the LanguageServer.jl autocomplete suggestions but the default complete doesn’t appear to be filled in my configuration. I will look into it and post here if I find anything!

I’m able to get autocomplete working in scripts if I use the following configuration.

```julia
nvim -u MINRC test.jl

```

```nohighlight
set nocompatible
filetype off

if empty(glob('~/.local/share/nvim/site/autoload/plug.vim'))
  silent !curl -fLo ~/.local/share/nvim/site/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs
    \ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
  autocmd VimEnter * PlugInstall --sync | source $MYVIMRC
endif

call plug#begin('~/.local/share/nvim/plugged')

Plug 'JuliaEditorSupport/julia-vim'
Plug '~/gitrepos/nvim-lsp'
Plug 'Shougo/deoplete.nvim', { 'do': ':UpdateRemotePlugins' }
" Plug 'Shougo/deoplete-lsp'
let g:deoplete#enable_at_startup = 1

call plug#end()

lua << EOF
    require'nvim_lsp'.julials.setup{}
EOF

autocmd Filetype julia setlocal omnifunc=v:lua.vim.lsp.omnifunc

nnoremap <silent> <c-]> <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.definition()<CR>
nnoremap <silent> K <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.hover()<CR>
nnoremap <silent> gr <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.references()<CR>
nnoremap <silent> g0 <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.document_symbol()<CR>

```

But with `nvim -u MINRC src/Package.jl` it doesn’t seem to autocomplete correctly.

I’m still looking into it but thought I’d post this to see if someone else has the same effect.

Autocompletion is also working for me with deoplete-lsp and deoplete. There’s a open PR that needs to be merged for this to work properly.
