Why does harper connect to writewithharper.com?

I saw this happening today. Does it need to download anything?

I think that's because of #1204.

Does it need to download anything?

As far as the PR goes, not really. It just retrieves the latest Harper version is so it can be printed.

Thanks! Harper is managed by my package manager however, there's not much point in checking for updates in this case. Is it possible to disable it?

I think it's supposed to be used as debug info that people can provide when they file issues, but I get your point. Maybe it can be a command instead of something done automatically.

Is it possible to disable it?

Currently, it doesn't seem to be, but if it's important to you that it is, feel free to open an issue about this so we can consider how to change the current behavior.

Hello, were you able to disable it or did you have to disable the LSP altogether?

[silvestron]

I don't, but I haven't looked much into it.

Once #1334 is merged, you'll be able to disable it using harper-ls --skip-version-check.

[silvestron]

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Great!

I tried putting it in "cmd" but it didn't work... Is this the right place?

vim.lsp.config.harper_ls = {
  cmd = { "harper-ls", "--stdio", "--skip-version-check" },
  filetypes = {
    ...

[elijah-potter]

I misspoke. It's been merged, but I have yet to distribute a release with the code. That looks correct to me, but it won't work until the release it out.

For anyone that stumbles on this, the version check has been removed in v0.59.0. harper-ls will no longer make any remote requests. The --skip-version-check flag has also been removed and should be removed from configs.
