helix lsp not working

[ghost]

thank you for developing helix editor and i am using this mostly for my code editors while working on awk and others. The lsp stopped working and i reinstalled the helix-editor and then the lsp is not working and the steps i did is in the helix editor

:open path_file
insert
#! /usr/bin/awk -f
started writing a awk and then it showed a message that language server exited.

the same happened with the python also.

thank you for helping me out for resolving this,
gaurav

@the-mikedavis thank you for converting this into discussion. Please kindly let me know as how to solve this.

thank you,
gaurav

[n-ce]

• Open the File where lsp is failing
• Show helix logs by using :log-open inside helix.

[ghost]

@n-ce thank you for telling me this. I have done as asked and please find it attached
helix.log

also i took the screenshot to show that where it is giving problem. Is there a way to change the size of the font and also the theme for the better visualization.

thank you for all this information,
gaurav

I am myself being a user of helix cannot deduce the actual reason from the logs. However, I would like to ask have you installed helix-grammars and the proper language servers?
The image attached does show language server exited this means the lsp did initate but it crashed.

• Font Size - you have to configure your terminal for that.
• Theme
  • For skimming through themes use :theme in helix, and scroll through the list using tab.
  • You can set your desired theme to persist by editing your helix config file and adding theme = themename . You can open helix config by :config-open in helix.

Thank you and I am also a new user of helix as i write most of the code in the VSCode and used nano for the terminal programming but i am now getting used to use the Helix and Neovim as that is making my work easier. I think i have installed the helix.grammars well. Can you point me out as how to install them so that i can check them whether i have installed correctly or not. Having the half information and knowledge is the same as having misinformation.

thank you for the theme and the font size.

Best way to check if helix-grammars is properly installed is to see if syntax highlighting is working.
For checking LSP status, you can use hx --health in terminal.

[ghost]

The hx --health when i installed also gave me this and also after the language checks. Here is the hx --health now and it is the same. I dont think the syntax highlighting is working, can you tell me as how to check that and enable that. Thank you

my helix config is located at my github repo: https://github.com/sablokgaurav/code-quicklook-curriculum-vitae/blob/main/install/helix.config.toml if needed to have a look. thank you.

There seems to be an issue with many LSPs not working. It is likely tied to the roots and workspace-lsp-roots is implemented. For example, my language servers for rust only seem to work within directories with a Cargo.toml. Even if I change the settings to detect only based on file extensions the LSPs will not trigger.
