Xtext LSP, Client with separate server process [message #1840560]

Hi,

I am not able to get the very basic Xtext LSP example to work. I see two problems - 1) Content assist not showing the keyword proposal, and 2) Validation not working.

I am running the server as a separate process. The links to the project [0], RunWebSocketServer [1], and the VS Code [3] extension are provided below.

[0] https://github.com/nbhusare/Xbase-sandbox/tree/master/lsp
[1] https://github.com/nbhusare/Xbase-sandbox/blob/master/lsp/org.xtext.example.mydsl.ide/bin/main/org/xtext/example/mydsl/ide/RunWebSocketServer.xtend
[2] https://github.com/nbhusare/Xbase-sandbox/tree/master/lsp/vscode-ext/hellolsp

I have compared my code with the xtext-example-project and other xtext-LSP projects on Github. I have also searched through the Xtext forum in the hope to get some hints, but so far I haven't had much luck.

Kindly help.

Hi, i recommend you to remote debug for errors.
it also websocket is not for vscode. (you use normal socket in vscode)
see https://github.com/itemis/xtext-languageserver-example/blob/cd_226wip/org.xtext.example.mydsl.ide/src/org/xtext/example/mydsl/ide/RunServer.java

Thanks, Christian for your help.

I am using VS Code version 1.55.0, which uses the 3.16 version of the LSP. In order to make the example work, I needed LSP4j version 0.12.0. Upgrading to Xtext 2.26.0-SNAPSHOT, and vscode-languageclient version to 7.0.0 fixed the issue.
