Bryant · November 19, 2021, 2:20am

i can use python but it cant work in html file.
my config:


--Enable (broadcasting) snippet capability for completion
local capabilities = vim.lsp.protocol.make_client_capabilities()
capabilities.textDocument.completion.completionItem.snippetSupport = true

require'lspconfig'.html.setup {
  capabilities = capabilities,
    cmd = { "vscode-html-language-server", "--stdio" },
    filetypes = { "html" },
    init_options = {
      configurationSection = { "html", "css", "javascript" },
      embeddedLanguages = {
        css = true,
        javascript = true,
      },
    },
    root_dir = function(startpath)
        return M.search_ancestors(startpath, matcher)
      end,
    settings = {},
    single_file_support = true,
}

HELP needed

I had to dig through 4 of your posts to piece together what happened. Do not copy the the default configuration out of server_configurations.md.

Change your config from this:

require'lspconfig'.html.setup {
  capabilities = capabilities,
    cmd = { "vscode-html-language-server", "--stdio" },
    filetypes = { "html" },
    init_options = {
      configurationSection = { "html", "css", "javascript" },
      embeddedLanguages = {
        css = true,
        javascript = true,
      },
    },
    root_dir = function(startpath)
        return M.search_ancestors(startpath, matcher)
      end,
    settings = {},
    single_file_support = true,
}

to this:

require'lspconfig'.html.setup {
  capabilities = capabilities,
}

Same error occurs. I don’t know why.

Paste the entire unaltered file.

Now the exact error.

Bryant · November 20, 2021, 1:57am

Error detected while processing FileType Autocommands for "html":
E5108: Error executing lua ...ppData\Local\nvim\share\nvim\runtime\lua\vim\lsp\rpc.lua:384: start `vscode-html-language-server` failed: ENOENT: no such file or directory
E5108: Error executing lua ...ppData\Local\nvim\share\nvim\runtime\lua\vim\lsp\rpc.lua:384: start `vscode-html-language-server` failed: ENOENT: no such file or directory
Press ENTER or type command to continue

There is also no syntax highlight for html when i add this block of code in…

mjlbach · November 20, 2021, 2:20am

This is a different error than before, so progress

Try

require'lspconfig'.html.setup {
  cmd = { "vscode-html-language-server.cmd", "--stdio" },
  capabilities = capabilities,
}

Bryant · November 20, 2021, 3:08am

What about scss? I have treesitter installed. But when i open it there is no syntax highlight

mjlbach · November 20, 2021, 3:27am

Is this a question about lsp or treesitter? Did you call :TSInstall scss?

Bryant · November 20, 2021, 3:28am

i did install scss using treesitter

mjlbach · November 20, 2021, 3:30am

And there is no syntax highlighting?

Bryant · November 20, 2021, 3:33am

as i said. yes there is none… which is odd

Bryant · November 20, 2021, 3:39am

for ur info, when i add the line of code. neovim always say that the file exist for scss

mjlbach · November 20, 2021, 3:51am

You should probably start a separate thread for that

Bryant · November 20, 2021, 3:53am

seperate thread at? treesitter or here?

mjlbach · November 20, 2021, 3:54am

Here, on discourse. It helps visibility (your first issue was about LSP, this one is now about treesitter on which I am not an expert)

mjlbach · November 20, 2021, 3:56am

Ah wait, it may be related, add:

require'lspconfig'.cssls.setup {
  cmd = { "vscode-css-language-server.cmd", "--stdio" },
  capabilities = capabilities,
}

to your config instead of whatever you had for cssls before.

Bryant · November 20, 2021, 4:01am

Thank you so much. It worked finally. But the code you gave me is the same as the readme right?

mjlbach · November 20, 2021, 4:03am

Nope, I customized the command (postfixed with .cmd)
