BUG: Neovim Usage of vue-language-server

Bug: When you attempt to open a vue file using vue-language-server, I get this message and logs:

error message:

Client quit with exit code 1 and signal 0

log:

[ERROR][2024-08-20 23:11:28] .../vim/lsp/rpc.lua:770    "rpc"   "/Users/{user}/.local/share/nvim/mason/bin/vue-language-server" "stderr"    "/Users/{user}/.local/share/nvim/mason/packages/vue-language-server/node_modules/@vue/language-server/lib/initialize.js:48\n            fileWatcher = server.watchFiles(['**/*.{' + [...watchingExtensions].join(',') + '}']);\n                                          ^\n\nTypeError: server.watchFiles is not a function\n    at updateFileWatcher (/Users/{user}/.local/share/nvim/mason/packages/vue-language-server/node_modules/@vue/language-server/lib/initialize.js:48:43)\n    at /Users/{user}/.local/share/nvim/mason/packages/vue-language-server/node_modules/@vue/language-server/lib/initialize.js:29:9\n    at createTypeScriptLS (/Users/{user}/.local/share/nvim/mason/packages/vue-language-server/node_modules/@vue/language-server/node_modules/@volar/language-server/lib/project/typescriptProjectLs.js:31:46)\n    at /Users/{user}/.local/share/nvim/mason/packages/vue-language-server/node_modules/@vue/language-server/node_modules/@volar/language-server/lib/project/typescriptProject.js:205:69\n    at async getOrCreateInferredProject (/Users/{user}/.local/share/nvim/mason/packages/vue-language-server/node_modules/@vue/language-server/node_modules/@volar/language-server/lib/project/typescriptProject.js:208:25)\n    at async Object.getLanguageService (/Users/{user}/.local/share/nvim/mason/packages/vue-language-server/node_modules/@vue/language-server/node_modules/@volar/language-server/lib/project/typescriptProject.js:54:29)\n    at async Timeout._onTimeout (/Users/{user}/.local/share/nvim/mason/packages/vue-language-server/node_modules/@vue/language-server/node_modules/@volar/language-server/lib/features/languageFeatures.js:695:42)\n\nNode.js v21.7.3\n"

So, the problem seems to be: The server.watchFile function is unrecognized in the initialize.js file

I don't fully know what this function is doing, but when i made the change I have suggested here where I just allow for that function to be undefined and just throw a warning in response, it works for me no problem.

I figured I would open up this suggestion and if I am thinking about this incorrectly, happy to have a discussion about it. Thanks!

See, this build failure I think may be part of the problem I was seeing as well. It's failing due to watchFiles not existing.

Also probably worth noting I am running on macOS

Does the method at https://github.com/vuejs/language-tools/issues/4707#issuecomment-2299718352 work for you?
