Sublime Text 3 LSP package will not start this language server.

[ctrl-alt-adrian]

Per the LSP Docs, I've ran npm install -g javascript-typescript-langserver to install this language server.

For a while, things were working great. I then closed Sublime Text 3 as I was done with work, and later reopened editor to continue working on a side project. I now get the following error:

In my node_modules (where the language server was installed locally) there exists a language-server-stdio file.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the language server but the error still persists. Even with the typescript files I was working with earlier.

I've made no changes to any packages or npm installs. Sublime Text 3's LSP package still won't start this.

Any ideas?

I'm using Version 3.2.1 Build 3207 of Sublime Text 3 and version 0.8.5 of LSP from Package Control.

Hey @adriandeveloper, does Sublime log the stack trace of the error anywhere?

I have also experienced problems with the TCP version with our in-house editor. I will find time and gather information to see if this might be a cause the same. You have to restart editor several times for it to work. Disabling this LS things works fine

I don't face the same error, but I cannot use LSP in sublime. The options (Find Occurences,... basically all LSP options in right mouse menu) are just grayed out.

@nvmnghia Ran into this same issue where I would enable it, but it would refuse to start the server. It seems like there might be another package that causes some issue with LSP (Haven't pinpointed which package was causing the problem). I decided to remove some packages and it started working.
