Using lsp-julia

Tamas_Papp · January 25, 2019, 12:03pm

I have tried to use lsp-julia from https://github.com/non-Jedi/lsp-julia. I installed everything as described, but I have an LSP[Disconnected] in my modeline.

If I try to M-x lsp, I get a prompt telling me that it is not part of a project. I am not sure how to proceed here. I am using Emacs 26.1 and Julia 1.2-dev.

ffevotte · January 25, 2019, 3:31pm

What I do is select the “Import project root : /path/to/cwd/” option proposed by M-x lsp. It seems to somehow remember from then (never asks again for the directory)

I’m not sure exactly what this does. I suspect only one server is launched for a “project”. And the directory set here is meant to be the root of the current “project”, i.e. all buffers/files open in the this directory will share the same lsp server.

Tamas_Papp · January 26, 2019, 4:51pm

Thanks. I pasted the output of

(kill-new (combine-and-quote-strings (lsp-julia--rls-command)))

to the command line and it turned out I had to install SymbolServer.

Now I have a

LSP[julia-ls:23615 status:starting]

modeline, that stays on status:starting, is this normal? I have no errors in the *julia-ls::stderr* buffer.

ffevotte · January 26, 2019, 9:03pm

For reference/comparison, here is what this outputs for me:

$ julia --startup-file=no --history-file=no "-e using LanguageServer, Sockets, SymbolServer; server = LanguageServer.LanguageServerInstance( stdin, stdout, false, \"/home/francois/.julia/environments/v1.0\", \"\",Dict()); server.runlinter = true; run(server);"
[ Info: Started symbol server
[ Info: StaticLint store set

and then it waits for input (and errors out if you input something incorrect, terminated by a blank line).

No, the modeline should display

LSP[julia-ls:23615]

after a little while.

Most of the time I don’t, either. The only times when I managed to have an error in the modeline were when I tried using advanced LSP features which the julia server does not implement. In these cases, the server did start, then crashed. Some info was available in the *julia-ls::stderr* buffer, and I was prompted (in the minibuffer) to restart the LSP server.

You should however find in *julia-ls::sterr* the same output as in the command line above:

[ Info: Started symbol server
[ Info: StaticLint store set

Here are two things that the LSP documentation mentions to help troubleshoot server issues:

M-xlsp-describe-session opens an *lsp-session* buffer showing some information about active servers and registered project.
M-:(setq lsp-print-io t): this makes lsp-mode trace all client-server exchanges in the *lsp-log* buffer

For me, a typical *lsp-log* buffer starts like this:

>>> julia-ls:5202 status:starting(async)

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "initialize",

Tamas_Papp · January 27, 2019, 10:05am

Thanks for the debug help. This shows a single

Content-Length: 1964

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "initialize",
  "params": {

block in the log and nothing else, and

[ Info: Started symbol server

in the *julia-ls::sterr*, ie no StaticLint.

Can you please give me a

pkg> st --manifest

(private message is fine).

ffevotte · January 27, 2019, 8:17pm

And do you get the message about StaticLint when starting the server in a regular console?

Thanks for the manifest, it helped me debug the issue.

The following (applied jointly) made LanguageServer work for me:

pkg> add StaticLint#master LanguageServer#master SymbolServer#master
using Julia v1.1.0 instead of master

AmjadHD · January 29, 2019, 12:12pm

@Tamas_Papp, what is the exact command you used to run the server ?

Tamas_Papp · January 29, 2019, 12:13pm

M-x lsp

AmjadHD · January 29, 2019, 12:27pm

sorry I don’t get it, I’m using sublime text (on Windows) with LSP client, these are my configurations:

		"julials":
		{
			"command":
			[
				"julia",
				"--startup-file=no",
				"--history-file=no",
				"-e",
				"using LanguageServer, Sockets, SymbolServer; server = LanguageServer.LanguageServerInstance(stdin, stdout, false, \"C:/Users/Youzer/.julia/environments/v1.1\", \"\",Dict()); server.runlinter = true; run(server);"
			],
			"enabled": true,
			"languageId": "julia",
			"scopes":
			[
				"source.julia"
			],
			"syntaxes":
			[
				"Packages/Julia/Julia.sublime-syntax"
			]
		},

LSP outputs:

LSP: starting ['julia', '--startup-file=no', '--history-file=no', '-e', 'using LanguageServer, Sockets, SymbolServer; server = LanguageServer.LanguageServerInstance(stdin, stdout, false, "C:/Users/Youzer/.julia/environments/v1.0", "",Dict()); server.runlinter = true; run(server);']
LSP:  --> initialize
LSP: window 2 added session julials
server: [ Info: Started symbol server

and then does nothing.

Tamas_Papp · January 29, 2019, 12:31pm

In case this is unclear from the context, I am using Emacs.

But your problem may be related, have you tried

adding all of the above 3 packages at #master,
running

julia --startup-file=no --history-file=no "-e using LanguageServer, Sockets, SymbolServer; server = LanguageServer.LanguageServerInstance( stdin, stdout, false, \"/home/francois/.julia/environments/v1.0\", \"\",Dict()); server.runlinter = true; run(server);"

from the command line?

AmjadHD · January 29, 2019, 12:45pm

yes it is clear, I was looking for help in my case.

Tamas_Papp:

from the command line?

yes

C:\Users\Youzer>julia --startup-file=no --history-file=no "-e using LanguageServer, Sockets, SymbolServer; server = LanguageServer.LanguageServerInstance(stdin, stdout, false, \"C:/Users/Youzer/.julia/environments/v1.0\", \"\",Dict()); server.runlinter = true; run(server);"
[ Info: Started symbol server

and then it’s stuck

hckr · February 2, 2019, 11:45am

julia --startup-file=no --history-file=no "-e using LanguageServer, Sockets, SymbolServer; server = LanguageServer.LanguageServerInstance( stdin, stdout, false, \"/home/francois/.julia/environments/v1.0\", \"\",Dict()); server.runlinter = true; run(server);"

Are you sure you are trying this with Julia 1.1.0? You seem to use 1.0 environment in this command. May I ask what your OS is? I cannot get the server working on 1.1.0. It works in 1.0.3 though.

ffevotte · February 2, 2019, 12:39pm

The command you’re quoting comes from my environment. I’m using 1.0.3 as you guessed.

Tamas_papp seems to be using 1.1, though.

Tamas_Papp · February 2, 2019, 12:53pm

yes, I am. it works with 1.0.3. I opened an issue here:
