solargraph VS lsp-mode

My favorite typing solution so far in ruby is Solargraph https://solargraph.org/.

Yay! For those who don’t know solargraph provides a language server protocol (LSP) for Ruby so that your IDE (like vscode) can know more about the code you’re writing https://solargraph.org/.

If you're looking for IDE-level language assistance, I can't help you, but since you mentioned nvim: I use regular vim with CoC / Conquer of Completion (vim plugin; LSP server, may not strictly be necessary for nvim), Solargraph (Ruby Gem; language server), and Rubocop (also a Gem) for linting. I previously/still use ALE (vim plugin; Asynchronous Lint Engine) because I haven't gotten CoC+Solargraph to play nice with Rubocop, probably due to something silly.

My impression with all of this running under MacVim... it's plenty responsive. It can take a while for Solargraph to index everything on startup if you're working in a big project; once it loads, it's snappy. (There's probably a way to cache that startup scan.)

I am trying to use lsp-mode for ruby via solargraph and for Rails era templates using web-mode via lsp-tailwindcss and both seems to kinda sorta work but neither one is really giving me all the features that I see that others have.

https://github.com/castwide/solargraph Seems to be the most mature/developed one. Slow on my system, bad documentation. Language docs are shipped as "cores" you imperatively download that float around in your home directory; this is messy and prone to failure. Doesn't have any docs for versions of ruby past 2.7.

I have recently installed Solargraph and can see that when I open a Ruby file that the LSP is attached to my buffer via `LspInfo`. However whenever I am trying to do some very basic completions or see what kind of methods are available for an object, literally nothing happens. What I am aiming for is something like on the official Solargraph website: https://solargraph.org/

If you use Vim or Neovim, you can display RuboCop's diagnostics through coc.nvim. You need to install the Solargraph language server (gem install solargraph), followed by the coc-solargraph extension (:CocInstall coc-solargraph). Afterwards, configure your coc-settings.json file as shown below:

The builtin LSP works well with solargraph to provide autocompletion.

Sorbet and/or RBS seems like they may be the future given how popular typescript is with JS programmers these days. There are some other projects that assist programmers without relying on formal type definitions in the source or shadow typing files:

Solargraph combines inference and insight from YARD docs (standard for many gems, plus Castwide has written more YARD for the standard library) to make some pretty good guesses. Crucially it has plugins that add the insights from popular gems with static analysis (e.g. reek, rubocop). I maintain solargraph-rails, which parses your Ruby to make guesses about (surprise) Rails.

The typeprof gem can help IDE plugins make typing guesses based on your tests. This project is interesting to me because it's going into Ruby 3.1 so I think it reflects awareness from the core ruby team that many programmers are not ready to add types to their code.

I also tried to the solutions suggested  and , but nothing worked. I moved the (setq lsp-keymap-...) line outside (and before) use-package. I also used :config (define-key lsp-load-map...) in my use-package block. But none of them worked.

Not sure how much this might help, but lsp-mode has lsp-yaml-select-buffer-schema and lsp-yaml-set-buffer-schema commands to pick schema from a list or set from a URI. Checking the source of them might give some hints about how the same could be implemented in eglot?

Beyond that you might as well embrace the suck and install autex with a language server: https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/

Smart completion these days is done primarily through LSP. eglot is fairly minimal but built-in as of 29, also available via GNU Elpa. lsp-mode is another option with more integrations and a bit more fleshed out.

lsp-mode: https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode/issues/2080

Are you running emacs-29? It has numerous speed-ups compared to emacs-28 and older versions, many of them coded by Mattias Engdegård, e.g. commit def6fa4246. I have a fresh build of emacs-29 running on Linux and a new mac with an M1 CPU, and it's stupid fast. I don't use the native-comp feature. I rarely notice any hesitation or slowness. I don't use Elpy. I do use lsp mode.

Since you are doing code development, the first things to go for would be setting up your emacs packaging (installing use-package and melpa (use-package's documentation covers this) so you have more packages to choose from (do be careful to not just pick things willy nilly but research them a bit first)) and then setting up lsp-mode. lsp-mode lets you use LSP servers for the specific programming languages you work with in a somewhat unified fashion. You then need to install and setup the LSP servers for the languages you use, and possibly install language specific Emacs packages as support (note, Emacs has builtin functionality for many).

And first of all, I'm trying to understand, how is it connected to https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode? I'm sure, that existed lsp implementations already parse source code. Why TreeSitter?
