python-lsp-server VS vim-lsp-settings

Python LSP Server works great, is easier to install and even offers some optional extensions.

I suggest looking for blog posts about this, you're gunnuh wanna pick out a plugin manager and stuff. It's kind of like a package manager for neovim. You can install everything manually but usually you manually install a plugin manager and it gives you commands to manage the rest of your plugins.

These two plugins are the bare minimum in my view.

Treesitter gives you much better syntax highlighting based on a parser for a given language.

This plugin helps you connect to a given language LSP quickly with sensible defaults. You more or less pick your language from here and copy paste a snippet, and then install the relevant LSP:

For Python you'll want pylsp. For JavaScript it will depend on what frontend framework you're using, I probably can't help you there.

pylsp itself takes some plugins and you'll probably want them. https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server

Best of luck! Happy hacking.

I came at the tail end of https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server/issues/195. The possibility of me sponsoring a fix came up, and I’m on board with it, but the other contributor never replied.

I haven't used pylint, but I find mypy with python-lsp-server extremely easy to use with nvim-lspconfig, especially on Arch linux.

Whatever you use, make sure you have syntax highlighting, completion and error checking! I'm using pylsp and shellcheck in emacs, but those or similar options should work in any IDE, replacing much of what made IDEs unique in former times.

Perhaps unrelated, from my experience, pylsp is better than pyright, see https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server/.

I am finally starting to use lsp for python development. I am using pylsp as LS.

I'm talking about this python LSP server (the command is pylsp that's why).

Another example, you can setup python-lsp-server with nvim-lspconfig (lsp server also needs to be installed globally or in virtualenv) and they have a plugin for black which you can then install in the same virtualenv and just use lsp to format the code instead of formatter.nvim.

Do you use any lsp (like pylsp or pyright)? If yes, did you setup it to use proper python / did you activate venv?

I am reading here but still... it seems all OK. It is weird that it was working with ALE with the current setup. Anyway, I noticed that every once in a while I get this error when I change buffer.

There's https://github.com/mattn/vim-lsp-settings to save even more lines, which is I think what OP wants.

vim-lsp-settings makes installing lsp for vim-lsp trivial: :LspInstallServer

Hello everyone, I have this problem when using vim-lsp-settings, that every time my cursor passes through a word (sorry I don't have enough information to derive what type of word, but take Type, Function in Python, or constants (like g:lsp_diagnostics_signs_enabled) and has() in vimrc) it always showing similar occurrences of the word, and I don't want that. Not only it takes some time (highlighting that word cursor is on, and when moving cursor really fast it couldn't catch up), it's usually something I don't really need (well, if it could be configured to be faster and my laptop won't screeching then I'm all in - I'm using thinkPad x270).

I use vim-lsp plugin which only needs a few lines of config. It has several JavaScript language servers listed in vim-lsp-settings.

Then lsp. All four of these: prabirshrestha/vim-lsp; mattn/vim-lsp-settings; prabirshrestha/asyncomplete.vim; prabirshrestha/asyncomplete-lsp.vim

vim-lsp that can be bootstrapped with vim-lsp-settings, for jumping to definitions, etc.
