neodev.nvim VS IntelliJ-EmmyLua

Also the vim API signature is not available using the fennel-language-server In lua you can install neodev and you will get some nice lsp suggestions with the vim API, this is sadly not possible in fennel right now

Other than the root_dir problem, I think the lsp server might have been attached but configuration would be different. For instance, if one is using folke's neodev for API completion (https://github.com/folke/neodev.nvim/issues/158) it would work differently for nvim config files and other lua workspaces.

Try to debug what happens on exit, maybe https://neovim.io/doc/user/starting.html#-V works. Regarding nvim-cmp being slow, do you have https://github.com/folke/neodev.nvim installed? If yes, try removing it and checking if it's an issue. It's been slowing down my completion for a while until I pinpointed the issue (and it was slowing it down always, not just when editing lua code).

You can try neodev.nvim. It's really great especially if you're planning for plugin development.

Are you using https://github.com/folke/neodev.nvim ?

Okay i figured it out myself https://github.com/folke/neodev.nvim provides lua files with the required type signatures.

I was about to ask you a similar question, lol. (I was browsing the page of EmmyLua — EmmyLua for IntelliJ IDEA 1.3.2 documentation, thank you for stopping me anyway.)

I used to use LDoc a few months ago but I saw some "bugs" like hover doc not recognizing the parameters type and such stuff so I'm now using EmmyLua conventions. Both almost the same, but EmmyLua works like a charm with lua-dev.nvim!

The project is a fork of EmmyLua. The idea was initially to contribute everything upstream, and in fact I did: https://github.com/EmmyLua/IntelliJ-EmmyLua/pull/342.
