@fredrikekre has updated the default `nvim-lspconfig` for Julia [[julia] improvements to current project detection. by fredrikekre · Pull Request #1079 · neovim/nvim-lspconfig · GitHub](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/pull/1079), which should, hopefully 🤞, work better out-of-the-box now for everyone.

[neovim/nvim-lspconfig#1153](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/pull/1153) is merged now so things should work out of the box if you:

1. Install `LanguageServer` in the shared environment `~/.julia/environments/nvim-lspconfig`:

```nohighlight
$ julia --project=~/.julia/environments/nvim-lspconfig -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.add("LanguageServer")'

```

2. Enable it in `init.lua`:

```julia
require'lspconfig'.julials.setup{}

```

or `init.vim`:

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

```

I’ve set up everything as @fredrikekre described. LSP takes up to 2 min to start working.

I keep getting these errors `.cache/nvim/lsp.log`:

Can anyone shed a light?

Does it work after those 2 minutes though? That log looks perfectly normal.

Yes it does. Perfectly though!

Is that the expected behavior? What is going on in the log? Why so many errors?

There are only info and warning messages there (although they are printed to stderr, so looks like nvim prepends ERROR).

I’ve also set everything up following @fredrikekre 's instructions and things work without too much effort. But like @Storopoli my LSP takes upwards of 2 min to work at all. I’ve also looked at the logs and get pretty much the same thing. I include a small excerpt below:

```

The thing is, this happens every time I load a Julia file. It’s not just the first compilation, it takes minutes every single time to start up. I really hope there is a fix for this otherwise I don’t think I can use LSP yet

When I run this setup my LS only picks up the packages installed in the language server environment instead of looking for the packages installed in the environment I’m developing in. Is this intentional and is everyone else seeing the same thing?

I am, but i also recently migrated my nvim configuration to pure Lua script so i could very well have messed something up in my settings. I will continue to dig into it but good to know that it’s working as i hoped. I’ll ping back when i locate the issue. 🙂

### Instant startup with PackageCompiler

LanguageServer is somewhat slow to start so it is very useful to use a custom sysimage using [PackageCompiler](https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl) to reduce this time. On my machine I get the first response after 20+ seconds, but with a custom sysimage I can execute LS commands instantaneously.

Here is my setup:

1. Modify [`init.vim`](https://github.com/fredrikekre/.dotfiles/blob/1a6e345f8ff42c42c0869f31bd08ecad968e2b2b/.config/nvim/init.vim#L5-L12) to use a custom Julia executable (if it exist):

2. Utilize this [Makefile](https://github.com/fredrikekre/.dotfiles/blob/1a6e345f8ff42c42c0869f31bd08ecad968e2b2b/.julia/environments/nvim-lspconfig/Makefile).

3. Run `make`. This will set up a dummy project and launch `nvim` with julia recording everything that is compiled. Wait until the LanguageServer responds (there are a bunch of things in this dummy project that will result in warnings) and then run some LanguageServer commands, for example `::lua vim.lsp.buf.hover()` to fetch documentation).

4. Quit nvim.

5. PackageCompiler will now build a custom `languageserver.so` sysimage.

6. Profit.

I’m getting an error when I use your `Makefile`:

 ![Screen Shot 2021-09-28 at 10.34.12 AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/2/7/27dfecfe13f497571829927a5a667b22d24ce956.jpeg)

If I comment these lines:

```julia
  -- on_new_config = function(new_config, _)
  -- local julia = vim.fn.expand("~/.julia/environments/nvim-lspconfig/bin/julia")
  -- if require("lspconfig").util.path.is_file(julia) then
  -- print(julia)
  -- new_config.cmd[1] = julia
  -- end
  -- end,

```

I don’t get the above error. This is the contents of `nvim-lspconfig/bin/julia`:

```julia
#!/bin/bash
JULIA=/Users/USER/Applications/Julia-nightly.app/Contents/Resources/julia/bin/julia --startup-file=no
if [[${JULIA_TRACE_COMPILE} = "1"]]; then
    exec ${JULIA} --trace-compile=/Users/USER/.julia/environments/nvim-lspconfig/packagecompiler/precompile_statements.jl "$@"
elif [[-f /Users/USER/.julia/environments/nvim-lspconfig/languageserver.dylib]]; then
    exec ${JULIA} --sysimage=/Users/USER/.julia/environments/nvim-lspconfig/languageserver.dylib "$@"
else
    exec ${JULIA} "$@"
fi

```

I had to add the `--startup-file=no` flag. Any idea what might be going on?

Strange. My snippet to replace the julia executable should only swap [https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/9ca394ec3a9305a6c30018ee6f731c9b23a4b25e/lua/lspconfig/julials.lua#L5](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/9ca394ec3a9305a6c30018ee6f731c9b23a4b25e/lua/lspconfig/julials.lua#L5) and `--startup-file=no` should still be there: [https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/9ca394ec3a9305a6c30018ee6f731c9b23a4b25e/lua/lspconfig/julials.lua#L6](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/9ca394ec3a9305a6c30018ee6f731c9b23a4b25e/lua/lspconfig/julials.lua#L6)

@fredrikekre it seems that your Makefile is not working anymore with Julia 1.7 😢  
I’m guessing the issue is actually PackageCompiler.jl. I get an error when trying to create the image:

```julia

```

Works perfectly fine for me on both Linux and macOS with Julia 1.7. I made some updates to it ([current version is here](https://github.com/fredrikekre/.dotfiles/blob/master/.julia/environments/nvim-lspconfig/Makefile)), but that was only to make it work on macOS, it worked before that change on Linux for me.

Works fine for me as well. I installed LanguageServer#master in the `.julia/environments/nvim-lspconfig` environment ([many features and fixes are missing in the latest release from July](https://github.com/julia-vscode/LanguageServer.jl/issues/998)) and otherwise followed [@fredrikekre’s instructions](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/neovim-languageserver-jl/37286/63).

I keep getting this error ☹

@devmotion , the Lsp works, but not the sysimage script in the Makefile. Did you also follow the instructions for creating the image sys?

Yes, I did. I actually followed [these instructions](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/neovim-languageserver-jl/37286/72), seems unfortunately I copied the wrong link in my comment above.

My julia setup is brand new, since I just changed to 1.7. It had worked before, with my previous version 😕
