dotfiles VS nvim-lsp-installer

NixOS. If you still need Docker you can define and manage that via Nix too. I love it, both for this and managing development environments. Happy to answer any questions.

With Nix we have a shell.nix in the root of our repo describing all of the project's system dependencies. It looks something like this. You can pin nixpkgs with Flakes (think lockfiles) or by hardcoding a specific revision. We do the latter because I didn't want to complicate the Nix install for everyone by requiring they enable experimetnal features.

Nix, for example updating from rls to rust-analyzer.

I agree that the documentation story could be better. I also think it's a great shame that the language isn't statically-typed, so to understand how to use something I have to inspect its source code.

I've found it to be quite flexible though. For example, here's a commit in which I apply a patch to a tool to solve a problem that the derivation hadn't taken into account (and absent a home-manager solution): https://github.com/samhh/dotfiles/commit/867dd3b4d4b3942a0aa...

You may like to look at my newsboat config. It's biased towards FP and Linux.

Sure thing, I manage it in my dotfiles repo here.

I wonder if you'd have better luck if you built your xmonad as a proper Haskell app and didn't use the built-in --recompile stuff. It's not Nix, but see here an example of how I'm doing that.

Here's my config: https://github.com/samhh/dotfiles/blob/master/home/.config/git/config

This is possible for quickfix, see my dotfiles commit here.

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.

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 In this case for the lsp-installer in the commit bfa74f4 was mentioned that the plugin will no longer maintained

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

We have now migrated from nvim-lsp-instasller to mason which provides automatic LSP and null-ls configuration after installation

nvim-lsp-installer or mason.nvim. FYI lsp-zero also uses mason.nvim for managing installation.

I'm using nvim-lsp-installer it installs typescript when installing volar. So I had given it that path. Plus I had typescript locally installing since I'm using vue3+ts(vite) template

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.

Here are a few resources to get you started: 1. https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig 1. https://github.com/golang/tools/tree/master/gopls 1. https://github.com/williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer

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.
