* **Do not file Nvim LSP client issues here.** The Nvim LSP client does not live here. This is only a collection of LSP configs.
* If you found a bug in the Nvim LSP client, [report it at the Nvim core repo](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug%2Clsp&template=lsp_bug_report.yml).
* These configs are **best-effort and unsupported.** See [contributions](#contributions).
* Requires [Neovim latest stable release](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/latest) or [Nightly](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/tag/nightly). Update Nvim and nvim-lspconfig before reporting an issue.
See [server_configurations.md](doc/server_configurations.md) (`:help lspconfig-all` from Nvim) for the full list of configs, including installation instructions and additional, optional, customization suggestions for each language server. For servers that are not on your system path (e.g., `jdtls`, `elixirls`), you must manually add `cmd` to the `setup` parameter. Most language servers can be installed in less than a minute.
nvim-lspconfig does not set keybindings or enable completion by default. The following example configuration provides suggested keymaps for the most commonly used language server functions, and manually triggered completion with omnifunc (\<c-x\>\<c-o\>).
Note: you must pass the defined `on_attach` as an argument to **every `setup {}` call** and the keybindings in `on_attach`**only take effect on buffers with an active language server**.
Manual, triggered completion is provided by Nvim's builtin omnifunc. For *auto*completion, a general purpose [autocompletion plugin](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/wiki/Autocompletion) is required.
If you have an issue, the first step is to reproduce with a [minimal configuration](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/test/minimal_init.lua).
1. The language server is not installed. nvim-lspconfig does not install language servers for you. You should be able to run the `cmd` defined in each server's Lua module from the command line and see that the language server starts. If the `cmd` is an executable name instead of an absolute path to the executable, ensure it is on your path.
2. Missing filetype plugins. Certain languages are not detecting by vim/neovim because they have not yet been added to the filetype detection system. Ensure `:set ft?` shows the filetype and not an empty value.
3. Not triggering root detection. **Some** language servers will only start if it is opened in a directory, or child directory, containing a file which signals the *root* of the project. Most of the time, this is a `.git` folder, but each server defines the root config in the lua file. See [server_configurations.md](doc/server_configurations.md) or the source for the list of root directories.
4. You must pass `on_attach` and `capabilities` for **each**`setup {}` if you want these to take effect.
5.**Do not call `setup {}` twice for the same server**. The second call to `setup {}` will overwrite the first.
*`:LspInfo` shows the status of active and configured language servers.
*`:LspStart <config_name>` Start the requested server name. Will only successfully start if the command detects a root directory matching the current config. Pass `autostart = false` to your `.setup{}` call for a language server if you would like to launch clients solely with this command. Defaults to all servers matching current buffer filetype.
*`:LspStop <client_id>` Defaults to stopping all buffer clients.
*`:LspRestart <client_id>` Defaults to restarting all buffer clients.
