Tsserver doesn't work on windows

Language Server Protocol (LSP)
1

This is the error i got

cmd ["typescript-language-server.cmd"] is not executable.
cmd ["typescript-language-server.cmd"] is not executable.

My config:

-- js/typescript
require'lspconfig'.tsserver.setup{
    cmd = { "typescript-language-server.cmd", "--stdio" },
    capabilities = capabilities,
    filetypes = { "javascript", "javascriptreact", "javascript.jsx", "typescript", "typescriptreact", "typescript.tsx" }
}

I have tried adding the .cmd but it doesn’t work. I installed the typescript typescript-language-server

vscode-language-servers-extracted does not provide tsserver. Did you read the typescript-language-server section in server_configurations.md?

npm install -g typescript typescript-language-server

3

Sorry type wrongly ahaha. I installed that

Ok, now what happens if you type typescript-language-server --stdio or typescript-language-server.cmd --stdio directly into powershell?

Ok, there’s your issue. Typescript-language-server is not on your path, there’s no way neovim can launch it.

How am i going to add it? I installed it…

Well, you can consult general Windows documentation on how to add things to your PATH.

All I did was:

  1. Install winget
  2. winget install nodejs
  3. npm i -g typescript typescript-language-server
  4. restart powershell
  5. typescript-language-server.cmd --stdio

on a fresh windows VM and everything worked as expected.
