Cannot LspRename

[mcepl]

I have filed https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp/issues/61 but the maintainer there (@prabirshrestha) closed the bug on me blaming the server. Even when I upgraded python-language-server to the last release (0.12.1) I get the same reaction (this is the log): no error, but no change in the editor.

Using vim 8, python 3.4, on RHEL-7.

Any ideas, what's wrong?

Are you able to get me the stderr of the python language server? Seems like the log you linked just includes the vim-lsp logs.

[prabirshrestha]

@mcepl Can you update the log with verbose to enable stderr messages. let g:lsp_log_verbose = 1 @gatesn For me even log verbose didn't show any messages. Is there a way to force pyls to use its own log file?

Can you update the log with verbose to enable stderr messages. let g:lsp_log_verbose = 1

I have let g:lsp_log_verbose = 1 in my ~/.vim/vimrc.

So, I tried to add this to the configuration in ~/.vim/vimrc:

if executable('pyls')
    " pip install python-language-server
    au User lsp_setup call lsp#register_server({
        \ 'name': 'pyls',
        \ 'cmd': {server_info->['pyls', '--verbose', '--log-file', '/tmp/pyls-log.txt']},
        \ 'whitelist': ['python'],
        \ })
endif

And attached is both pyls-log.txt and vim-lsp.log.

[gatesn]

@mcepl could you try pyls -vv --log-file ... that should get debug messages from pyls.

[mcepl]

pyls-log.txt and vim-lsp.log

[gatesn]

That's really weird, the pyls log just stops abruptly, and the vim log claims python exited 1. I'll try and reproduce

Still doesn’t work even with python-language-server 0.14.0, latest vim-lsp and vim 8.0.1520.

A strange thing is that I cannot rename that attribute even with VSCode (1.20.1-1518536126, ms-python.python 2018.1), does it use this language server as well (but some its private copy, right? Not the pyls available in $PATH, right)? However, with VSCode I can rename variable res on line 34 (which I cannot do with vim).

I am not sure, where to find debugging logs from VSCode, vim ones are pyls-log.txt and vim-lsp.log.

When trying to use autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim (with vim8), I get same results like with VS Code (I can rename res, but not self.provider_type). Logs are again not very persuasive.

Any updates? Still experiencing this issue with autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim https://github.com/autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim/issues/46

I'm also running into errors when I try to rename using the lsp-mode in emacs.

I'm also running into errors when I try to rename using the lsp-mode in emacs.

This appears to be a result of a) how line numbers get serialized and b) the types that lsp-mode expects. For rename, pyls is returning sys.maxsize for the end line, and - at least when it gets to emacs lisp via stdout - that values is serialized in "scientific notation" (e.g. 9.2e+18). lsp-mode ultimately passes this to forward-line which expects and integer but, unfortunately, this is a floating point value.

Renaming now works for me on Emacs, but it's really really slow.

My experience is that rename sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. When it doesn't, my LSP client informs me that there has been a timeout.

I dug around a little bit and it seems that the rope library (which is doing the renaming under the hood) just sometimes takes a really long time to compute the necessary changes, i.e. run the rope.refactor.rename.Rename.get_changes() method.

I tried dill-pickling the Rename object created by one of these rename operations which time out and calling its get_changes() method manually from an interactive session, and it does complete successfully, it just takes a while.

I noticed this tends to happen when trying to rename in ad-hoc scripts which live in directories alongside a lot of other (possibly unrelated) stuff. In conventionally structured projects (libraries, apps), it tends to work fine, especially if they're on the smallish side.

A workaround if you're writing an ad-hoc script is to place it in a directory on its own, then refactoring should be speedy, at least according to my experience.

I also can't rename in Emacs. The error message says "Timeout while waiting for response". Any suggestion on how to fix this issue?

[maciejzj]

Dunno If this is the same issue but when I try to LspRename nothing happens and new name: varname ... Renaming ... takes forever.

[laixintao]

Same issue here, any updates?
