LuaSnip VS mason-lspconfig.nvim

If you're using Neovim, check out LuaSnip: https://github.com/L3MON4D3/LuaSnip

I’ve been using LuaSnip and never put much thought into it. And this was mainly because of because it seemed like the default and had good LSP integration. The one downside is that creating custom snippets is not that ergonomic, but I don’t mind it if it’s the price to pay for speed.

You can use LuaSnip and load snippets from VSCode. The documentation is pretty complete, but here is my config in case you want another reference.

I am trying to add snippets for python, i have LuaSnip and friendly-snippets installed, but for some reason it does not load the snippets. This is how i load the plugins:

There was a similar issue in LuaSnip repo. The culprit was a keymap in the config. Do you happen to have a similar keymap somewhere in your config?

I have decided to extract my Haskell snippets for LuaSnip into a plugin: haskell-snippets.nvim.

Not exactly what you're talking about but you could look into LuaSnip?

There are a few more resources for new users as well on the official repo, and you can find the implementation in Examples/snippets.lua

You mean snippets? If yes, you can try Luasnip and friendly-snippets with nvim-cmp and here's the setup guide. Hope it helps

I had the same issue recently. It was the case when I inserted a snippet but didn't fill out all the placeholders right away. This helped me. This is an autocommand that unlinks the unfinished snippet when you change the mode.

https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp This is an autocompletion engine https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter This allows NeoVim to install parsing scripts so NeoVim can do things like code highlighting. https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim Not strictly necessary, but allows you to access a repo of LSP, install them, and configure them for without you actively messing about in config files. https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig Also not strictly necessary, but vastly simplifies LSP setup. https://github.com/williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim This lets the above two plugins talk to each other more easily.

pylsp offers an option to install flake8 as an optional plugin and Mason offers a command to install pylsp plugins. I could then install flake8-pytest-style via pip. Then pylsp and flake8 would live in the same Mason environment and flake8-pytest-style would live in my project's environment. I don't know if/how they will communicate with each other.

Personally, i think nvim-lint is the best alternative currently, specially so because it has no dependencies on external binaries. This guide assumes you already have your LSP set up with nvim-lspconfig (or an alternative like lsp-zero). You should also have an way to install the linters you are gonna need, i highly recommend Mason with mason-lspconfig.

Have you set up https://github.com/williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim as well?

You can also use https://github.com/williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim with nvim-lspconfig to make language server installation closer to installing a vscode extension, in that you just install a language server through mason and it'll be automatically configured for you.

I found this GitHub issue: https://github.com/williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim/issues/224 I think it could be related, but I'm not sure.
