Installation issue

[alexhallam]

I am guessing there is something obvious I missed.

1. I am on Ubuntu and installed the needed package
2. I installed remotes::install_github("REditorSupport/languageserver" in R

When I ran :LspInstall r_server_language I got this:

    ◍ r_language_server (failed)

Could this problem be from the languageserversetup package and not related to this repository?

[KryeKuzhinieri]

I am getting the same error. Any solution to this?

[eitsupi]

@KryeKuzhinieri What is your procedure for installation? Are you installing it the way it says in the README?

[KryeKuzhinieri]

I am on Ubuntu 20.04 and I tried :LspInstall r_server_language Then, I tried installing the packages directly to R and now it throws the following error

@KryeKuzhinieri Could you describe exactly what steps were taken? Perhaps it is a Neovim issue?

:LspInstall r_server_language

I think there is a problem with this command. (And I don't think it's defined in this repository)

[KryeKuzhinieri]

I recently installed neovim where I decided to use the Astro Vim configuration to make the transition from vim to nvim faster. Firstly I tried: :LspInstall r_server_language But it threw the error @alexhallam got. Then I installed the packages manually

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("jozefhajnala/languageserversetup")
install.packages("languageserver")

But I got the error described above. Just to be sure that I have all the dependencies, I tried

apt install --assume-yes --no-install-recommends build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev r-base

But they were all there.

[eitsupi]

It seems likely that something was written to Rprofile file by :LspInstall r_server_language. Therefore, if you check the contents of the Rprofile and remove such processing, it may function properly.

I recommend opening a issue in the repository where :LspInstall r_server_language is defined, not here.

[eitsupi]

It looks like this repository. https://github.com/williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer/blob/5c223f21ff8b513e87ff9f002d5d133dffe729de/lua/nvim-lsp-installer/servers/r_language_server/init.lua

[eitsupi]

@KryeKuzhinieri I recommend opening an issue on https://github.com/williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer and linking from this issue.

[KryeKuzhinieri]

@eitsupi Thanks for your feedback. I raised the issue here https://github.com/williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer/issues/604

[KryeKuzhinieri]

Issue was resolved here https://github.com/williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer/issues/604
