That error means that the language server is taking too long to respond. If your project is very large it might take pyright some time to scan through and index the references/definitions. You can configure the timeout to be higher (see https://docs.helix-editor.com/master/languages.html#language-server-configuration) and if pyright has a logfile itself you might find more clues there. I don't see anything wrong or bad on Helix's side here though.

Add "autoSearchPaths" = true or "diagnosticMode" = "workspace" solves the problem

pyright = { command = "pyright-langserver", args = ["--stdio"], config= {"autoSearchPaths" = true, "diagnosticMode" = "workspace"}}

hey, i'm experiencing the same issue with rust-analyzer. how can i apply this solution to my situation?

[camms205]

@j0of I just set

[language-server.rust-analyzer]
timeout = 60

in languages.toml and the issue seems to have gone away. You might try other timeout values to see what works for you.
