Patch

As described by the repository name, I fixed the problem that coc-sumneko-lua extension was not available on nixos (only for non-nix-managed neovim/vim configurations).

How did I fix this problem?

I added a new configuration field named sumneko-lua.bin to specify the path of lua-language-server command. Because if you use nix to manage sumneko-lua-server package, you will find that /nix/store/xxxx-sumneko-lua-server/share/sumneko-lua-server/bin/lua-language-server is a read-only file and cannot be executed(I think it maybe case by nix sandbox mechanism). And real executable binary should be in /nix/store/xxxx-sumneko-lua-server/bin/lua-language-server. But coc-sumneko-lua can only specify serverDir, and bin is indirectly obtained through serverDir, but NixOS cannot meet this condition. So, I added the sumneko-lua.bin field so that user can explicitly specify the location of bin.

How to use?

First, because I did not publish this package on npm, we need to install it through plugins. If I use vim-plug to manager your plugins. I should add Plug 'PHSix/coc-sumneko-lua-for-nixos', {'do': 'yarn install --frozen-lockfile'} in my vimrc.

And then, if you use home-manager or nix-env to install sumneko-lua-server, you can configure it as follows:

{
 "sumneko-lua.bin": "~/.nix-profile/bin/lua-language-server",
 "sumneko-lua.serverDir": "~/.nix-profile/share/lua-language-server"
}

If you are not using home-manager to manage your user configuration, you can configure it as follows:

{
 "sumneko-lua.bin": "/run/current-system/sw/bin/lua-language-server",
 "sumneko-lua.serverDir": "/run/current-system/sw/share/lua-language-server"
}

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
