failed to initialize LSP for source.toml

[mkastner]

I am somewhat befuddled.

I've removed the ~/.config/helix/languages.toml to track some config error.

If I understand the documentation correctly, helix should use these internal language settings

https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/languages.toml

as default if ~/.config/helix/languages.toml does not exist.

Why do I get

2022-11-28T20:05:28.612 helix_view::editor [ERROR] Failed to initialize the LSP for `source.toml` { cannot find binary path }

in the log file then?

It is an error that will be reported if you don't have the LSP for the language installed. If you don't care about an LSP, then you can safely ignore t.

@kirawi I was under the, obviously false, impression, that the languages which are listed here

https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/languages.toml

and which provide lsp support, already come with working language server connections.

Then, that means I still have to install the lsp-connectors and setups for each of these languages. Is that right?

[kirawi]

You just have to install the LSP servers. We have a wiki page for that: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/wiki/How-to-install-the-default-language-servers

@kirawi
I was somehow under the impression, that helix would provide these installations. Gee, that's like (N)Vim's Coc with all its setups for each language all over again.

Automatic installation will have to wait until a plugin system is implemented: #2152
