False negative warning about not-installed Metals

[chuwy]

Describe the bug

1. Having a freshly installed sbt, nvim and metals (all through Nix)
2. Open any scala file or build.sbt
3. See a warning that Metals not installed and advice to run :MetalsInstall
4. Yet all functionality such as go-to-definition works as expected

$ metals --version

metals 0.11.12

# Note:
#   Supported Scala versions:
#     Scala 3: 3.0.2, 3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.3, 3.2.0, 3.2.1, 3.2.2, 3.3.0-RC3, 3.3.0-RC4
...

• sbt - 1.9.1
• Scala - 3.3.0
• :MetalsRunDoctor show all green
• :MetalsToggleLogs shows an empty buffer

---

After I ran :MetalsInstall - it shows something in logs, but every time I start vim - it tells me Client 1 quit with exit code 1 and signal 0

Expected behavior

No warnings.

Operating system

macOS

Version of Metals

v0.11.12

Hey @chuwy, thanks for the report. If you're using Nix and not letting nvim-metals handle the installation are you making sure to set https://github.com/scalameta/nvim-metals/blob/cd50bfeae9915b827289141ee9914b79fc8887aa/doc/metals.txt#L482-L491 to true?

I haven't heard back about this at all, so I'm assuming this has been figured out. If this isn't the case, please do report back.
