lsp-format.nvim VS lsp-zero.nvim

suffice it to say, I haven't needed to mess with it in a very long time, and it works very nicely and smoothly. I based it on https://github.com/lukas-reineke/lsp-format.nvim back before he extracted that plugin from his dotfiles, but over time I added a lot.

Ok guys I solved it by using this wonderful plugin https://github.com/lukas-reineke/lsp-format.nvim . Apparently it had something to do with setting up my autosave from null-ls but can't be sure. Anyways, solved.

My first reaction is to set a buffer-exclusive autocmd on lsp attach to call vim.lsp.buf.format(), that should work if you don't want depdenencies. Another way to go is https://github.com/lukas-reineke/lsp-format.nvim, it's a thin wrapper around nvim's format and can provide format on save.

Use lsp-format.nvim and put null-ls on the blacklist.

If you already use metals as a language server, it looks like scalafmt support is already built in. If you're using metals in Neovim but not getting formatting, check your lsp configuration. Alternatively, use lsp-format.nvim to ensure formatting happens. That goes for using it with null-ls, too.

Thanks! One additional question, I'm using lsp-format. And to use it, I just

My plugin lukas-reineke/lsp-format.nvim does that. It wraps around the built-in LSP formatting with a couple opinionated improvements.

You can take a look at my plugin LSP-format.nvim for a bit more robust solution to async format on save. But it will also write the file twice. There is currently no other way to do this.

I recommend instead using lsp-format.nvim to manage multiple LSP clients trying to format.

I'm using lsp-zero and i followed this tutorial https://github.com/VonHeikemen/lsp-zero.nvim/blob/v2.x/doc/md/guides/setup-with-nvim-jdtls.md and i have essentially just copy pasted the code from there into ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugin/jdtls.lua

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.

For those new to neovim, the documentation in lsp-zero has a tutorial that shows a configuration from scratch. It shows how to get a plugin a manager, a colorscheme, and setup lsp-zero.

Try https://github.com/VonHeikemen/lsp-zero.nvim, a great introduction and it is pretty usable without any further config

For neovim, you can still use the same extensions; however there's also a built-in LSP client. The downside of using the built-in is you'll need to have more extensions installed/configured to get all the features out of the box...BUT projects do exist to help simplify that, like lsp-zero.

lap-zero.nvim - default config for nvim-lspconfig, mason.nvim, nvim-cmp.

In version v2.x the keybindings you set on the "global" on_attach of lsp-zero should work without any extra config. v2.x also has a tutorial on how to work with nvim-jdtls: setup with nvim-jdtls

Creator of lsp-zero suggested a complete solution to use ray-x/lsp_signature in this issue: https://github.com/VonHeikemen/lsp-zero.nvim/issues/69.
