  • What don't dired buffers have a (buffer-file-name)?
    1 project | /r/emacs | 26 Oct 2022
    I believe this has cost me a ton of time but I did learn a lot along the way. lsp-docker highest level function is lsp-docker-start. It calls lsp-workspace-root which calls buffer-file-name which, if starting from a dired buffer, returns nil so lsp-workspace-root returns nil and the LSP server is not started.

    I'm trying to figure that out right now. There is lsp-docker which is designed (I'm still half guessing) to have a separate container hold the language server. What I want is a pre-existing container to hold the server. There is partial code in that repo to do that but it appears not fully baked.

    If you're on WSL, you may want to take a look at something like lsp-docker which bypass all quirk of Tramp and works directly with your files in WSL. I've never been able to make Tramp work reliably (too much hanging with or without lsp-mode) from Windows -> WSL so bypassing it provides a much better experience.
  • Switching from pyenv, rbenv, goenv and nvm to asdf – yujinyuz

    This is a reasonable point, and something that is being worked on. I definitely think Docker can provide LSP servers as necessary, we're just not quite there. This is something that I'm interested in working on, though I'm not the only one: https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-docker

    Yeah, I'm a NixOS user, and nix helps a lot with managing LSP servers on my system at the point that this is not a issue for me, but I agree a solution runing then in a docker or something would fit nice as well, we already have this conecpt: https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-docker/
