How can you run the Gleam language server?

BEAM Language Forums Gleam Forum

Hi all,

kudos for the gleam LS.
I read Introducing the Gleam language server! – Gleam
but something which is not clear (to me) is how I can run the server.

I would need a command to run the server because I am trying to integrate that with vim coc,
this is an (incomplete) example coc conf I am trying to use:

{
  "languageserver": {
    "gleam": {
      "command": "What should I put here?",
      "filetypes": ["gleam"]
    }
  },
  "coc.preferences.formatOnSaveFiletypes": ["gleam"]
}

Thank you

Hello! The command is gleam lsp.

Which editor is that for? We’re aiming to have the configuration built in to every editor that will have it :slight_smile:

The editor is vim, the plugin I use to handle lsp is called coc

If I use the configuration I posted above, I got an error, the coc logs does not look much helpful to me:

Should I reach the coc authors for help?

If I run gleam lsp on the command line I got no output, is that correct?

Then if I press Enter I got this error:

x gleam lsp

error: Fatal compiler bug!

This is a bug in the Gleam compiler, sorry!

Please report this crash to https://github.com/gleam-lang/gleam/issues/new
with this information and the code that produces the crash.

	compiler-cli/src/lsp.rs:70
	LSP initialize: ProtocolError("expected initialize request, got Err(RecvError)")

I don’t know if that is the expected behaviour.

Thank you

Carlo

I would guess that messages are not being sent to the language server over stdio. Are there other configuration options for your client? Perhaps something is missing

Yeah,
my configuration was wrong, I added the correct configuration format in the coc wiki, I hope it is ok with you.

And it is working fine.

Thank you
