Hello, thanks for your feedback!
Nothing happens. No warning, No message -- I would expect some error message to occur.
Ah, yeah this should probably show a warning.
I would like to see some messages when automatic install is complete, rather than Installing XXX.. which triggers only when automatic installation starts. Or some warning/error message when some error happens. I do see recieve any callback, so it's hard
I was thinking of opening the :LspInstallInfo
window if it ends up installing a server, instead of printing a message. But I felt like that might be too intrusive?
By the way, is there any autocmd event or on_server_ready hook that I can use (after the changes in how we should configure: https://github.com/williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer/discussions/636)?
For now, just set up your servers as you would if nvim-lsp-installer didn't exist. This would normally just be doing it directly in your initialization script, like
lspconfig.tsserver.setup {}
The following is how I was doing this rather manually rather than ensure_installed. It'd be great if there is an alternative way or option to show the dialogue during automatic installation.
I personally really dislike having options for every single thing, I think we should aim for the best default behavior instead. I'd be fine with opening the UI window, let's just do it and see if people complain haha :)
Heyo @williamboman . I have this issue. I don't know if it is the setup's problem or the code base. Do you mind taking a look?
@bryant-the-coder Your issue is irrelevant to this thread. Please read https://github.com/williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer/discussions/636
@williamboman I guess a majority of people would prefer non-intrusive way as opposed to me wanting something more explicit. I can agree that we should avoid too much options/configuration points -- in this case I'm fine with running installation rather manually.
Treesitter does this job reasonably okay --- it prints some messages and users can be notified what's going on and what's done. (Like [1/10] Compiling ... [1/10] Treesitter parser for xxx has been installed
) Or having another vim.notify
call because we have already one when triggering the installation. Maybe these would be enough for the best default behavior.
I was also thinking of mimicing the nvim-treesitter behavior for this, but the code is not very well suited for capturing the stdout/stderr currently - the UI window "owns" all of this currently, if we were to override the stdout/stderr outlets the UI would come out of sync, will work on improving this.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No
Describe the solution you'd like
I find some issues with
ensure_installed
options.Error messages. First, it doesn't raise any errors when unknown lsp servers are specified. For example,
Nothing happens. No warning, No message -- I would expect some error message to occur.
Callback or notification. I would like to see some messages when automatic install is complete, rather than
Installing XXX..
which triggers only when automatic installation starts. Or some warning/error message when some error happens. I do not see recieve any callback, so it's hard to troubleshoot if something goes wrong.By the way, is there any autocmd event or
on_server_ready
hook that I can use (after the changes in how we should configure: #636)?Headless v.s. with UI. Currently
lsp:install()
will be called upon executing ofensure_installed
, but this will run in the background silently. I'd prefer seeing some explicit user interface, say the:LspInstallInfo
dialogue.The following is how I was doing this rather manually rather than
ensure_installed
. It'd be great if there is an alternative way or option to show the dialogue during automatic installation.Describe potential alternatives you've considered
