languageserver VS nvim-lspconfig

I'm not familiar with data science, but I would start with setting up a language server for R: https://github.com/REditorSupport/languageserver . Kate already have a default client configuration for it, so it should work out of the box.

Symbol outline by LSP Client: It can connect to any LSP "server" (runs locally) which implements LSP protocol (https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/), and supports "stdin" communication. A number of LSP server configuration is provided by default (including R), but user can extend, and override this configuration. As long as the LSP servers are properly installed (kate will start them) and the Kate LSP client configuration is set up properly should work. LSP also provides other IDE-like features (like code completion, jump to symbol definition, diagnostic/linter messages) etc. I found an LSP server for R (https://github.com/REditorSupport/languageserver), you may want to give it a shot.

You'd need: - hrsh7th/nvim-cmp with set up LSP source (hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lsp). - neovim/nvim-lspconfig. - R language server installed. This is a regular R package, can be installed from CRAN.

Installed languageserver in R.

Lsp server for R like py-right for python. Check this

I have downloaded the language server from here https://github.com/REditorSupport/languageserver, but don't know where it put it. so form now it's in the "R\R-4.1.3\bin".

Besides a common modern Neovim "IDE setup", some other useful R-specific tools: - languageserver R package for LSP integration. - styler R package for code formatting. Somewhat slow and lacks some features, but seems to be the best current solution.

First of all, make sure that you actually use r_language_server. For that, at least install languageserver R package (run R from command line and execute install.packages("languageserver")) and set up r_language_server with nvim-lspconfig. I think after that you should be able to see some diagnostic information.

The truth is that most editors will use R language server underneath ( https://github.com/REditorSupport/languageserver ) so it's more what layout you prefer than what functionalities an editor has to offer.

Other plugins/utilities can fill in some of the other gaps. In the screenshot below, I'm using NvimTree to browse files, and I'm also currently using Neovim's native LSP client (in Neovim 0.5.0) with r_language_server installed (configured with the Neovim team's plugin nvim-lspconfig).

I suggest looking for blog posts about this, you're gunnuh wanna pick out a plugin manager and stuff. It's kind of like a package manager for neovim. You can install everything manually but usually you manually install a plugin manager and it gives you commands to manage the rest of your plugins.

These two plugins are the bare minimum in my view.

Treesitter gives you much better syntax highlighting based on a parser for a given language.

https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig

This plugin helps you connect to a given language LSP quickly with sensible defaults. You more or less pick your language from here and copy paste a snippet, and then install the relevant LSP:

For Python you'll want pylsp. For JavaScript it will depend on what frontend framework you're using, I probably can't help you there.

pylsp itself takes some plugins and you'll probably want them. https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server

Best of luck! Happy hacking.

Adding language support it neovim isn't very difficult once you're setup. I use nvim-lspconfig[1] and just about any language you could need is documented[2]. But like others have mentioned there are batteries included distributions of neovim if that's your cup of tea.

If we can't find the basic usage in the documentation we can go to nvim-lspconfig's github repository. In there we look for a folder called server_configurations, this contains configuration files for a bunch of language servers.

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.

This specific issue talks about fixing clangd for that error: https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/issues/2184. The issue is ongoing for ccls AFAIK but for clangd, this has been discussed and fixed in the past already.

I am trying to set up the pbkit language server for protobuf files. Since it is not part of the nvim-lspconfig repo's server configurations, I have to figure the way out myself. It doesn't seem to be too difficult, as I can start from the bufls configuration there. The following is what I have at the moment:

I have configured neovim with lspconfig and mason. Added the suggested configuration of the lsp config(https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig) to ~/.config/nvim/after/plugin/lsp.lua Then I installed via mason the following language servers:

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.

Basically neovim can act as a client to a variety of different language servers (https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/ser...) which give neovim IDE capabilities. This can be done in original Vim also but requires external plugins which can be a pain to compile and install. Neovim has it built in.

I'm struggling to get [sqlls](https://github.com/joe-re/sql-language-server) with [nvim-lspconfig](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig) to use Postgres syntax.
