Wrong server selected

[rogorido]

Thank you for the bug report

• [X] I am using the latest version of lsp-mode related packages.
• [X] I checked FAQ and Troubleshooting sections
• [X] You may also try reproduce the issue using clean environment using the following command: M-x lsp-start-plain

Bug description

Every time I open a JS file lsp-mode selects vue-semantic-server. Even if I remove all emacs.d/ related files (.emacs, .init.el, etc.). There is some configure which is getting loaded somewhere. Where could it be?

Steps to reproduce

1. Fresh emacs install
2. M-x lsp-start-plain
3. open a JS file.

Expected behavior

Open the JS files with ts-ls and not with vue-semantic-server

Which Language Server did you use?

lsp

OS

Linux

Error callstack

In lsp-log I have: 

Command "vue-language-server --stdio" is present on the path.
Command "semgrep lsp" is not present on the path.
Command "deno lsp" is not present on the path.
Command "typescript-language-server --stdio" is present on the path.
Command "vue-language-server --stdio" is present on the path.
Command "semgrep lsp" is not present on the path.
Command "deno lsp" is not present on the path.
Command "typescript-language-server --stdio" is present on the path.

### Anything else?

I just came here to mention that I'm having a similar issue.

Given that I opened a graphql file instead of a TSX one when opening the project lsp mode suggested Graphql-lsp server (which is cool for the gql file), but whenever I open a tsx, it doesn't change the selected client, and I can't select it using +lsp/switch-client in doomemacs.

Try to configuring the variable lsp-enabled-clients.

[erickisos]

Currently, that variable is empty, however, after manually installing the corresponding clients it apparently worked!

Experiencing the exact same problem as OP here. vue-semantic-server is taking precedence over any other server when opening a file, even non-js-related ones. I noticed it only happens in workspaces where the vue server was used at least once, workspaces where I've not used it work normally. Working in multiple php+vue+typescript projects has made this a very annoying issue.

I'm using emacs-lsp in Doom Emacs on macOS although I was able to replicate the problem in a new emacs installation.

I can switch to the correct server (and/or client, not sure about the correct term here) using +lsp/switch-client in Doom to continue working so it seems that the problem is on file opening only.

I'm having this issue in spacemacs.

Modifying lsp-enabled-clients is a silly solution. Whitelist all servers in order to blacklist one? I want to use vue-semantic-server in vue files. I must modify this variable every time I'm editing a vue app? What about when I'm working on a vue and react app simultaneously?

Is there no other way to manually switch an LSP client? I've been paging through google for about an hour and turned up nothing.

M-x add-dir-local-variable with enabled/disabled clients should work.

I'm also having this issue, but for phpactor and php-ls.

It seems as though the check to ensure that php-language-server exists is not called the first time lsp is run. The check runs as expected if I run lsp a second time.

Here's a snippet from my *lsp-log*:

... (semgrep and serenata are not on path, phpactor is) ...

Hi, I'm in the same situation here, my project has .vue files, .ts files and .js files, vue-semantic-server always takes over.

Not sure if add-dir-local-variable will be of any use, i have some .vue files in the same directory as others.

Is there a way to set the priority based on the file extension? I don't see why everything is sent to vue-semantic-server. IMO vue-semantic-server should only handle .vue files and nothing else...
