  • struggling to setup python with nvim dap - module not found on import - need to setup dap root?

    I think nvim-dap doesn't (always?) use neovim current working directory as root, which can cause issues like yours. I'd recommend using https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap-python along with a local .nvim.lua (:h 'exrc') with the following config:

    I'd suggest starting with a Neovim distro that makes things work for you and as you get familiar you can transition to a more custom configuration as you see fit. If you want to do it by yourself then the most popular plugin for debugging in Neovim is nvim-dap and there is also an extension for Python to give you a more ready to go config instead of doing it yourself. You should read the docs of those 2 to see how you should customize accordingly your configuration.

    Oh yes.. I think https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap-python is what you are looking for. The configuration might not be as simple as the VS code equivalent but seems to serve the same purpose?
  • Finding the right Virtual Envs with Pyright and DAP.
    1 project | /r/neovim | 30 Jan 2023
    But how do specify the same virtual env for Debugging with dap? nvim-dap-python is looking for the env variables VIRTUAL_ENV and CONDA_PREFIX. But that means i cannot open multiple python projects in the same nvim instance.

    Yes, you can use nvim-dap-ui on top of nvim-dap or just nvim-dap-python (note that I haven‘t used the latter). Both options are able to parse .vscode/launch.json debug configs.

    you can use nvim then, it has shellcheck for diagnostics and formatting, like in vscode :)

  • Linting/formatting and LSP
    1 project | /r/neovim | 8 Sep 2023
    I use a lot of different languages generally and I'm running into issues around formatting. Is there any standard way to use LSP formatting by default and otherwise fallback to specific linter/formatting programs? I believe null-ls is the normal way of dealing with this, but since it's been archived, I'd rather not rely on it.
  • How to setup efm-langserver for pint formatter?
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 13 Jul 2023
    I've been using pint for formatting php files with null-ls.nvim. Few days ago null-ls.nvim has announced that the plugin will be archived in few months so I started migrating all my formatters and linter from null-ls to efm-langserver. I got other things such as prettier, black, isort, mypy, etc. working but can't get pint to work with php files: If I run pint via efm-langserver, everything is deleted from the buffer, and the saved file is formatted separately. How do I setup efm-langserver correctly to work with pint? Below is my config.yml for pint currently. yaml tools: pint: &pint format-command: "pint --no-interaction --quiet ${INPUT}" format-stdin: false languages: php: - <<: *pint Thank you.

    There is a good answer. I think you know lua and neovim config enough to pick things that you need. If you need a short answer, null-ls is the way.
