Potential issue of lsp-julia--rls-command

[xukai92]

I'm a bit confused of the function, especially this part https://github.com/non-Jedi/lsp-julia/blob/master/lsp-julia.el#L279-L289

In short, this essentially gives something like

julia --startup-file=no --history-file=no -eimport Pkg; Pkg.instantiate(); ...

instead of

julia --startup-file=no --history-file=no -e 'import Pkg; Pkg.instantiate(); ...'

i.e. the quotation is missing.

How the current master is working at all?

PS: I found this when making lsp-julia work over TRAMP, which I have to add the quotation around all the part after -e to make things work.

Magic? :-)

Thanks for noting, if you have already fixed it, could you make a PR?

Actually adding quotes would fail the local version, but works with the TRAMP version. For more context, here are the related codes for the TRAMP version (note the "'" I added around the body codes)

  (defun lsp-julia--rls-command-remote ()
    "The command to lauch the Julia Language Server."
    `(,lsp-julia-command
      ,@lsp-julia-flags
      ,(concat "-e "
               "'"
               "import Pkg; Pkg.instantiate(); "
               "using InteractiveUtils, Sockets, SymbolServer, LanguageServer; "
               "Union{Int64, String}(x::String) = x; "
               "server = LanguageServer.LanguageServerInstance("
               "stdin, stdout, "
               (lsp-julia--get-root-remote) ", "
               (lsp-julia--get-depot-path) ", "
               "nothing, "
               (lsp-julia--symbol-server-store-path-to-jl-no-expand) "); "
               "run(server);"
               "'")))

  (lsp-register-client
    (make-lsp-client :new-connection (lsp-tramp-connection 'lsp-julia--rls-command-remote)
                     :major-modes '(julia-mode ess-julia-mode)
                     :server-id 'julia-ls-remote
                     :remote? t))

Here lsp-julia--get-root-remote and lsp-julia--symbol-server-store-path-to-jl-no-expand are just some of my work-arounds to handle TRAMP path. This version works well for me.

However, if I use the same quotes in the local version, i.e.

 (defun lsp-julia--rls-command()
    "The command to lauch the Julia Language Server."
    `(,lsp-julia-command
      ,@lsp-julia-flags
      ,(concat "-e "
               "'"
               "import Pkg; Pkg.instantiate(); "
               "using InteractiveUtils, Sockets, SymbolServer, LanguageServer; "
               "Union{Int64, String}(x::String) = x; "
               "server = LanguageServer.LanguageServerInstance("
               "stdin, stdout, "
               (lsp-julia--get-root) ", "
               (lsp-julia--get-depot-path) ", "
               "nothing, "
               (lsp-julia--symbol-server-store-path-to-jl) "); "
               "run(server);"
               "'")))

I would get

Process julia-ls stderr finished
ERROR: syntax: cannot juxtapose string literal
Stacktrace:
 [1] top-level scope
   @ none:1

I think it might trace down to the difference between lsp-stdio-connection and lsp-tramp-connection, which call the rls-command? :|

How is your setup? I have never gotten lsp-julia to work with remote projects. You open a file from a julia project on the remote server and want the language server to spawn that same server? Is it possible to have a local language server work on the remote files?

lsp-tramp-connection is provided by lsp-mode, right?

[xukai92]

How is your setup?

This is my full setup (contains hacks/bugfixes collected from multiple places, see my comments in codes)

This setup pataches a recent PR in lsp-mode. Along with this, you have to upgrade TRAMP to 2.5.0. The setup for the lsp-julia is straightfoward -- only need to make sure all pathes are the remote ones.

You open a file from a julia project on the remote server and want the language server to spawn that same server?

Exactly. My config above does this.

Is it possible to have a local language server work on the remote files?

I don't know but I suppose this would be hard as the dependencies are on the remote.

lsp-tramp-connection is provided by lsp-mode, right?

Yes :)

[tecosaur]

@xukai92 I've just come across this thread after looking for a way to get a remote lsp server working. Do you think your work could be turned into a PR?

[ordicker]

Making lsp-julia works remotely won't be great.

[gdkrmr]

I have tried #61 and it doesn't work locally. I think emacs calls julia --project=... is a single command. I have also tried creating a single string and calling that with the same result.

I have also tried implementing the solution by @xukai92 and get the same error on the remote machine. maybe this is a path issue, I didn't have time to check.

I just saw this issue. I made a script for this instead to fix some corner cases https://codeberg.org/uncomfyhalomacro/erudite-macs/src/branch/main/scripts. and to use that, i made a this huge elisp code
