Setup of tested language servers

• JavaScript/TypeScript
• Python3
• Rust
• Go
• GLSL

JavaScript/TypeScript

JavaScript with Flow static type checker

• Prerequisites:
  • Node.js
• Recommended:
  • Prettier (installed globally: install i -g prettier)

Install language server, and create executable to enable server in juCi++:

npm install -g flow-bin

# Usually as root:
echo '#!/bin/sh
flow lsp' > /usr/local/bin/javascript-language-server
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/javascript-language-server

• Additional setup within a JavaScript project:
  • Add a .prettierrc file to enable style format on save

TypeScript or JavaScript without Flow

• Prerequisites:
  • Node.js
• Recommended:
  • Prettier (installed globally: install i -g prettier)

Install language server, and create executable to enable server in juCi++:

npm install -g typescript-language-server typescript

# Usually as root:
echo '#!/bin/sh
`npm root -g`/typescript-language-server/lib/cli.js --stdio' > /usr/local/bin/javascript-language-server
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/javascript-language-server
rm -f /usr/local/bin/typescript-language-server
cp /usr/local/bin/javascript-language-server /usr/local/bin/typescript-language-server
cp /usr/local/bin/javascript-language-server /usr/local/bin/typescriptreact-language-server

• Additional setup within a JavaScript project:
  • Add a .prettierrc file to enable style format on save

Python3

• Prerequisites:
  • Python3

Install language server, and create symbolic link to enable server in juCi++:

pip3 install python-language-server[rope,pycodestyle,yapf]

# Usually as root:
ln -s `which pyls` /usr/local/bin/python-language-server

• Additional setup within a Python project:
  • Add a setup file, for instance: printf '[pycodestyle]\nmax-line-length = 120\n\n[yapf]\nCOLUMN_LIMIT = 120\n' > setup.cfg
  • Add an empty .python-format file to enable style format on save

Rust

• Prerequisites:
  • Rust

Install language server, and create symbolic link to enable server in juCi++:

rustup component add rust-src

git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer
cd rust-analyzer
cargo xtask install --server

# Usually as root:
ln -s ~/.cargo/bin/rust-analyzer /usr/local/bin/rust-language-server

• Additional setup within a Rust project:
  • Add an empty .rustfmt.toml file to enable style format on save

Go

• Prerequisites:
  • Go
  • gopls (must be installed)

Create symbolic link to enable language server in juCi++:

# Usually as root:
ln -s `which gopls` /usr/local/bin/go-language-server

• Additional setup within a Go project:
  • Add an empty .go-format file to enable style format on save

GLSL

Install language server, and create a script to enable server in juCi++:

git clone https://github.com/svenstaro/glsl-language-server --recursive
cd glsl-language-server
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
# Usually as root:
make install
echo '#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/glslls --stdin' > /usr/local/bin/glsl-language-server
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/glsl-language-server
