If you’re happy with Microsoft’s Typescript package I would hesitate to switch - for Typescript development it is more complete and stable than this LSP package.
LSP does offer code actions which Microsoft’s package does no have. I also use this package often for typescript development, so it is likely to improve in the future!
Thanks to many bug reports and contributions, version 0.2.0 was released this week.
Significant improvements were made in diagnostics handling and completions.
The update notes are on Github.
Besides Python and Javascript/Typescript we’ve had users try it with Clangd, Flow, PHP and OCaml/Reason!
Hey Tom, thanks for the client, I would love to set it up for Java. I couldn’t find an example to get this done. I think the server is: https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.jdt.ls based on http://langserver.org/
Would it be possible to get the client to connect for Java? If so, do you have a set of steps to follow?
Hi Arin,
I haven’t seen reports of other people using the java language server yet. It is in use in the Atom IDE project and sounds like a complete implementation.
The installation steps for eclipse.jdt.ls sound a bit Eclipse-focused. Atom’s ide-java package provides some of the details you need (see their code here: https://github.com/atom/ide-java/blob/master/lib/main.js)
Download and uncompress this package
Try launching it manually first (see “command” below, or the ide-java code).
Be sure to set the config parameter to the relevant “config_win/”, “config_mac/” or “config_linux/” path within the language server you unpacked.
The LSP client config (add to your LSP Settings) should then look approximately like this:
"jdtls": {
"command": ["java", "-jar", "PATH_TO_JDT_SERVER/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.4.0.v20161219-1356.jar", "-configuration", "PATH_TO_CONFIG_DIR"],
"scopes": ["source.java"],
"syntaxes": ["Packages/Java/Java.sublime-syntax"],
"languageId": "java"
},
I’m keen to get documentation and default config for this added to the LSP project, please feel free to share your findings on GitHub! (https://github.com/tomv564/LSP)
We’ve accumulated features and fixes from 8 contributors over the last 2 weeks.
Time for another release: 0.2.1 on Package Control.
Besides Go, the package has been tested with the Julia and OCaml language servers (including the Reason language)
Release notes are here: https://github.com/tomv564/LSP/releases/tag/0.2.1
This is really exciting! PHP support doesn’t seem to work, but I’ll see if I can help fix it.
@tomv564 I’m using this with the jsts server and the thing I’m constantly running into is that it doesn’t pick up changes to type definitions/imports. I’m not sure if that’s something LSP should do, or if it’s the server… My current solution is to restart the server and then trigger it to run my file again by adding and removing some lines and then saving. Two questions:
I suggest you open an issue for the javascript/typescript server, and it would be likelier to be fixed if you could narrow down a minimal reproduction.
Another case that the javascript/typescript server does not support is changes outside the editor (eg. git checkout another-branch). There is an API for this (DidChangeWatchedFiles), but I haven’t seen many implementations of this yet.
Restart server is a bit of a hack - it should be sending a didOpen for the document you were in, then you would get the diagnostics without the change. That could be a good suggestion for LSP.
Thanks! My most common case is with type defs that are generated, we work with loads of code and api generation that we type-check against, and that’s always a process outside the editor that updates the imports. So that mostly with jsts then.
I am trying to set up LSP for python, but it does not work for me. I have setup the LSP server , but when I choose the option to start the server from ST , it never complains about not being able to start it. Since it never complains, I assume that it was able to start it.
Here is what I have done till now.
pip install python-language-serverEnable language server globally
Here is what I see in the logs (I can see that there are some errors)

Can you please let me know what is the wrong thing that I am doing here ?
Thanks

Do you know why lsp: show diagnostic messages for a C++ file are not similar to what I can see with cland-check ?
There are a log of false positive errors in the lsp: show diagnostic message window that I want to ignore, however, I am not sure how. I have edited my compile db json file and test the c++ file with new compile db json using cland-check, it is ok. However, the error messages are still appear in the lsp: diagnostic message window.
thank you.
what is clandg iirc ? I have clangd on my system but not sure what should I do to force it reproduce clang-check output.
LSP = language server protocal.
iirc = if I remember correctly.
clangd is a language server that implements the Language Server Protocol.
what should I do to force it reproduce clang-check output.
I am not sure whether this could be done but people use clangd here because it implements a LSP server.
I prefer cquery over clangd. It’s more lightweight and runs a bit faster in my experiences.
@randy3k can you explain how to use ccls/cquery using LSP in windows. I have been trying for a couple of days but it is not working and the official documentation for C/C++ does not have much setup guide as it has for other languages (it redirects to the GitHub rep. which don’t have much info for sublime either).
Thanks in advance
