  • Unable to get a working setup for lsp
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 9 Nov 2022
    I had previous gotten a working setup with https://github.com/williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer however, I have been unable to get it working ever since.
  • How do you stay up-to-date on the plugins you use?
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 4 Nov 2022
    The only way to stay up to date, is when you read the commits if you update the plugins. In this case for the lsp-installer in the commit bfa74f4 was mentioned that the plugin will no longer maintained
  • LSP question: manage an already installed server (instead of using lspinstall)
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 29 Oct 2022
    A word of caution, I believe lspinstall has been deprecated in favor of nvim-lspinstall which itself has also been deprecated in favor of mason-lspconfig
  • AstroNvim 2.4
    14 projects | /r/neovim | 21 Oct 2022
    We have now migrated from nvim-lsp-instasller to mason which provides automatic LSP and null-ls configuration after installation
  • Best way to go about installing LSP today?
    7 projects | /r/neovim | 13 Oct 2022
    nvim-lsp-installer or mason.nvim. FYI lsp-zero also uses mason.nvim for managing installation.
  • rust-analyzer changelog #146
    6 projects | /r/rust | 12 Sep 2022
    Though mason only recently replaced nvim-lsp-installer. Same author but they decided to make a complete rewrite given the broader scope beyond only providing language servers. And nvim-dap had it's initial release in late July. The actual dap servers are all kind of mature since they've been running on vscode for a couple of years or more now - and the protocol is apparently almost as old as lsp. So when I call them beta, it's more a commentary on the state of the neovim side of the ecosystem. If you mess around getting nvim-dap to work then there's a chance things might change over the coming months and you might have to return to configuring it more often than you'd like. In this sense for now I'm happy just to open vscode or another more appropriate IDE to debug. But I can see myself using the plugins in a year or two when they've matured.
  • Is there any way to autocomplete language functions? For example, show things like fmt.Printf or fmt.Println when writing fmt.Print and pressing the autocomplete key.

  • rust_tools equivalent for C Sharp

    Can recommend a combination of omnisharp-roslyn native LSP (installed manually or through something like mason or nvim-lsp-installer) with omnisharp-vim for some extra C#-niceties like OmniSharpRunTest, etc.
  • Moving to Mason.nvim

    Following https://github.com/williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer/discussions/876 was literally all I had to do.
  • Support for mason.nvim has been added to lsp-zero
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 26 Jul 2022
    Since nvim-lsp-installer was a very useful, popular project I decided to add support. Now, the "new version" of nvim-lsp-installer is actually another plugin: mason.nvim. For more information about it read the announcement. Migrating away from nvim-lsp-installer to mason.nvim is just as easy as removing nvim-lsp-installer and adding mason.nvim and mason-lspconfig to your plugins.
