v1.0.0 via Homebrew requires to set up a symlink manually

[wojciech-kulik]

I switched to the latest version from Homebrew and I get:

[ERROR][2024-02-20 11:45:40] .../vim/lsp/rpc.lua:734    "rpc"   "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/sourcekit-lsp"  "stderr"    '[2024-02-20 11:45:40.473] failed to start build server: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4 "The file “xcode-build-server” doesn’t exist."

It turns out that I had to manually create a symlink:

sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/bin/xcode-build-server /usr/local/bin

Is it possible to make it automatically via Homebrew? If not then it should be documented in the readme.

Ah, the problem is with generated buildServer.json. It sets incorrect path:

"argv": [
    "/usr/local/bin/xcode-build-server"
],

but it should be:

/opt/homebrew/bin/xcode-build-server

[SolaWing]

did /opt/homebrew/bin add into your PATH?

argv is read by your command absolute path. so if which xcode-build-server is in /use/local/bin, the argv will be there. if you prefer brew version, should ensure PATH contains /opt/homebrew/bin, and ensure which xcode-build-server refer to it

I switched from local version. It looks like this path is not being updated, once it's configured. I removed the buildServer.json regenerated it and now it correctly points to homebrew location.

One more thing. I noticed that Xcode Build Server Startup. Waiting Request... is logged to stderr which makes it appear in LspLog as an error. Could it be changed? It's not an error after all.

[START][2024-02-20 12:10:04] LSP logging initiated

I push a commit to always update basic info. but it will only effect when next formal release. now have to remove and regenerate it.

for log, xcode-build-server need a place to show. since stdout is occupied by communicate with lsp, the convenience output only left stderr. It just log, log level will output in log too. if this really annoy, may need to provide a config to redirect the log..

[wojciech-kulik]

It would be nice to keep those entries out of LspLog. Every time I need to find an actual problem in LspLog, I see tons of false errors from xcode-build-server, so I guess the best option would be to log them to some other file and forward to LspLog only true errors.

But it's not a must-have :).

newest Head add a environment XBS_LOGPATH, which can redirect all logs. set to :null to disable it.

Thank you! 🍻
