nvim-lspconfig
Configs for the Nvim LSP client (:help lsp
).
- 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.
- These configs are best-effort and unsupported. See contributions.
See also :help lsp-config
.
Install
- Requires neovim version 0.8 above. Update Nvim and nvim-lspconfig before reporting an issue.
- Install nvim-lspconfig as a normal plugin through neovim builtin
packadd
or a plugin manager
Quickstart
- Install a language server, e.g. pyright
npm i -g pyright
- Add the language server setup to your init.lua.
require'lspconfig'.pyright.setup{}
- Launch Nvim, the language server will attach and provide diagnostics.
nvim main.py
- Run
:LspInfo
to see the status or to troubleshoot. - See Suggested configuration to setup common mappings and omnifunc completion.
See 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.
Suggested configuration
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>).
-- Setup language servers.
local lspconfig = require('lspconfig')
lspconfig.pyright.setup {}
lspconfig.tsserver.setup {}
lspconfig.rust_analyzer.setup {
-- Server-specific settings. See `:help lspconfig-setup`
settings = {
['rust-analyzer'] = {},
},
}
-- Global mappings.
-- See `:help vim.diagnostic.*` for documentation on any of the below functions
vim.keymap.set('n', '<space>e', vim.diagnostic.open_float)
vim.keymap.set('n', '[d', vim.diagnostic.goto_prev)
vim.keymap.set('n', ']d', vim.diagnostic.goto_next)
vim.keymap.set('n', '<space>q', vim.diagnostic.setloclist)
-- Use LspAttach autocommand to only map the following keys
-- after the language server attaches to the current buffer
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('LspAttach', {
group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup('UserLspConfig', {}),
callback = function(ev)
-- Enable completion triggered by <c-x><c-o>
vim.bo[ev.buf].omnifunc = 'v:lua.vim.lsp.omnifunc'
-- Buffer local mappings.
-- See `:help vim.lsp.*` for documentation on any of the below functions
local opts = { buffer = ev.buf }
vim.keymap.set('n', 'gD', vim.lsp.buf.declaration, opts)
vim.keymap.set('n', 'gd', vim.lsp.buf.definition, opts)
vim.keymap.set('n', 'K', vim.lsp.buf.hover, opts)
vim.keymap.set('n', 'gi', vim.lsp.buf.implementation, opts)
vim.keymap.set('n', '<C-k>', vim.lsp.buf.signature_help, opts)
vim.keymap.set('n', '<space>wa', vim.lsp.buf.add_workspace_folder, opts)
vim.keymap.set('n', '<space>wr', vim.lsp.buf.remove_workspace_folder, opts)
vim.keymap.set('n', '<space>wl', function()
print(vim.inspect(vim.lsp.buf.list_workspace_folders()))
end, opts)
vim.keymap.set('n', '<space>D', vim.lsp.buf.type_definition, opts)
vim.keymap.set('n', '<space>rn', vim.lsp.buf.rename, opts)
vim.keymap.set({ 'n', 'v' }, '<space>ca', vim.lsp.buf.code_action, opts)
vim.keymap.set('n', 'gr', vim.lsp.buf.references, opts)
vim.keymap.set('n', '<space>f', function()
vim.lsp.buf.format { async = true }
end, opts)
end,
})
Manual, triggered completion is provided by Nvim's builtin omnifunc. For autocompletion, a general purpose autocompletion plugin is required.
Troubleshooting
If you have an issue, the first step is to reproduce with a minimal configuration.
The most common reasons a language server does not start or attach are:
- 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 thecmd
is an executable name instead of an absolute path to the executable, ensure it is on your path. - 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. - 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 or the source for the list of root directories. - You must pass
on_attach
andcapabilities
for eachsetup {}
if you want these to take effect. - Do not call
setup {}
twice for the same server. The second call tosetup {}
will overwrite the first.
Before reporting a bug, check your logs and the output of :LspInfo
. Add the following to your init.vim to enable logging:
vim.lsp.set_log_level("debug")
Attempt to run the language server, and open the log with:
:LspLog
Most of the time, the reason for failure is present in the logs.
Commands
: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. Passautostart = 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.

Contributions
If you are missing a language server on the list in server_configurations.md, contributing a new configuration for it helps others, especially if the server requires special setup. Follow these steps:
- Read CONTRIBUTING.md.
- Create a new file at
lua/lspconfig/server_configurations/SERVER_NAME.lua
.- Copy an existing config to get started. Most configs are simple. For an extensive example see texlab.lua.
- Ask questions on GitHub Discussions or in the Neovim Matrix room.
Release process
To publish a release:
- Create and push a new tag.
- After pushing the tag, a GitHub action will automatically package the plugin and publish the release to LuaRocks.
