nvim-lspinstall VS vim-lsp

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

kabouzeid/nvim-lspinstall will aide in installing lsp's if you want. I have chosen not to because I want to have my full setup scripted so when I setup any new machine I just run my ansible-playbook. This library is nice to just set things up quick and play with them.

nvim-lspinstall

I'm trying to edit a lua file, and got this error which I realize is because I didn't have the Lua language server installed. So using the LspInstall plugin, I did :LspInstall lua which was successful.

Once you have it installed, you can configure it following the configuration of this file: https://github.com/kabouzeid/nvim-lspinstall/wiki. The part that ia bellow the comment "-- lsp-install" works and it was what I used initially when I didn't really know much about configuring neovim.

I am using lspinstall to install language server. It uses this json-language-server. As the docs says jsonc is supported and it allows comments in jsonc filetypes but the lsp is not showing diagnostic if I make any other syntax error. On line 34 i have removed a comma and still lsp showing no diagnostic error in jsonc file.

You could try to use the instructions that nvim-lspinstall uses to install the tailwindcss language server: https://github.com/kabouzeid/nvim-lspinstall/blob/main/lua/lspinstall/servers/tailwindcss.lua (lines 4 - 12)

Has anybody managed or got an idea how to make SonarLint Language Server work with e.g. vim-lsp?

You need to configure a language server. For C++ it's a bit tricky, so good luck with Go. There are other plugins that provide semantic highlighting using LSP, for example https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp (I didn't try it, but it seems good).

ALE can use LSP as well. And if you are using vim-lsp, you can use the same instance of server for both with vim-lsp-ale bridge plugin.

I feel the same way. Not a one-liner but the smallest config LSP plugin I've found is vim-lsp. It works in both Vim and Neovim.

The only major feature that Neovim still has is a built in LSP client. But I find the built in Neovim LSP client is unusably buggy, you're much better off using any of the other LSP plugins. What I use is vim-lsp, but I've tried all of the major lsp client, they are all significantly better than the built in Neovim LSP.

As for install/configuration, all you need is the latest Vim, the plugins I mentioned, and that bit in your vimrc. You can do a bit better than that if you copy the entire config with mappings from the vim-lsp GitHub page.

I have a problem with Deoplete and Vim-LSP completion (Python's Pylsp and Jedi-Language-Server). The suggestion is much less, and it also misses a lot of opportunities to suggest compared to Deoplete-Jedi, which literally defeats the former by a large margin. Is there a setting to make this duo works like deoplete with deoplete-jedi?

- add the [prabirshrestha/vim-lsp](https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp) plugin and config to your `.vimrc` (note: `pylsp` is *not* necessary).
