Language not supported

Language Server Protocol (LSP)
1

Hey all,

I’m trying to integration the Motoko language server in neovim. It’s a pretty nice language and there’s understandably no official support yet. There’s a vscode plugin out there which basically invokes dfx _language-service and passes the dfx.json path as a parameter.

Pretty simple stuff. However, I’m having trouble using it in neovim. I’ve hacked this little piece together

nvim_lsp.motoko.setup{
  cmd = {"dfx", "_language-service"},
  filetypes = { "motoko", "mo"},
  root_dir = root_pattern("dfx.json", ".git"),
  settings = {},
  capabilities = capabilities,
}

-- Use a loop to conveniently call 'setup' on multiple servers and
-- map buffer local keybindings when the language server attaches
local servers = {"gopls", "tsserver", "motoko"}
for _, lsp in ipairs(servers) do
  nvim_lsp[lsp].setup {
    on_attach = on_attach,
    flags = {
      debounce_text_changes = 150,
    }
  }
end

However when I do :LspInfo it’s not detecting the language or starting the server.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

UPDATE

I had a look at the advanced custom configs and ended up with this config
The dao parameter is the canister I’m working on. I’ll have to ask the user for their input after I get the basic working.

local configs = require 'lspconfig/configs'
local util = require 'lspconfig/util'

configs.motoko = {
  default_config = {
    cmd = {"dfx", "_language-service", "dao"},
    filetypes = { "motoko", "mo", "gdmo"},
    root_dir = function(fname)
      return util.root_pattern '*.mo'(fname) or util.find_git_ancestor(fname) or util.path.dirname(fname)
    end,
  },
  docs = {
    description = [[]],
    default_config = {
      root_dir = [[root_pattern("dfx.json", ".git")]],
    },
  },
}

require('lspconfig').motoko.setup {}

:LspConfig does now list the motoko server and detect the language as gdmo,

 
 Language client log: /Users/nmartin/.cache/nvim/lsp.log
 Detected filetype:   gdmo
 
 1 client(s) attached to this buffer: 
 
 Client: motoko (id: 1, pid: 17216, bufnr: [1, 1])
 	filetypes:       motoko, mo, gdmo
 	autostart:       true
 	root directory:  /Users/nmartin/crypto/sk/src/dao
 	cmd:             dfx _language-service dao
 
 Configured servers list: gopls, diagnosticls, motoko, tsserver

However the completion or the basic lsp functionality aren’t working.
