Configs for the Nvim LSP client (:help lsp
).
- Do not file Nvim LSP client issues here. The Nvim LSP client does not live here. This is only a collection of LSP configs.
- If you found a bug in the Nvim LSP client, report it at the Nvim core repo.
- These configs are best-effort and unsupported. See contributions.
See also :help lspconfig
.
-
Requires Neovim v0.6.1 or Nightly. Update Neovim and 'lspconfig' before reporting an issue.
-
Install 'lspconfig' like any other Vim plugin, e.g. with packer.nvim:
local use = require('packer').use require('packer').startup(function() use 'wbthomason/packer.nvim' -- Package manager use 'neovim/nvim-lspconfig' -- Collection of configurations for the built-in LSP client end)
-
Install a language server, e.g. pyright
npm i -g pyright
-
Add the language server setup to your init.lua.
require'lspconfig'.pyright.setup{}
-
Launch neovim, the language server will now be attached and providing diagnostics (see
:LspInfo
)nvim main.py
-
See Keybindings and completion for mapping useful functions and enabling omnifunc completion
For a full list of servers, see server_configurations.md or :help lspconfig-server-configurations
. This document contains installation instructions and additional, optional, customization suggestions for each language server. For some servers that are not on your system path (e.g., jdtls
, elixirls
), you will be required to manually add cmd
as an entry in the table passed to setup
. Most language servers can be installed in less than a minute.
'lspconfig' does not map keybindings or enable completion by default. The following example configuration provides suggested keymaps for the most commonly used language server functions, and manually triggered completion with omnifunc (<c-x><c-o>).
Note: you must pass the defined on_attach
as an argument to every setup {}
call and the keybindings in on_attach
only take effect on buffers with an active language server.

Manual, triggered completion is provided by neovim's built-in omnifunc. For autocompletion, a general purpose autocompletion plugin is required.
If you have an issue with 'lspconfig', the first step is to reproduce with a minimal configuration.
The most common reasons a language server does not start or attach are:
-
The language server is not installed. 'lspconfig' does not install language servers for you. You should be able to run the
cmd
defined in each server's lua module from the command line and see that the language server starts. If thecmd
is an executable name instead of an absolute path to the executable, ensure it is on your path. -
Missing filetype plugins. Certain languages are not detecting by vim/neovim because they have not yet been added to the filetype detection system. Ensure
:set ft?
shows the filetype and not an empty value. -
Not triggering root detection. Some language servers will only start if it is opened in a directory, or child directory, containing a file which signals the root of the project. Most of the time, this is a
.git
folder, but each server defines the root config in the lua file. See server_configurations.md or the source for the list of root directories. -
You must pass
on_attach
andcapabilities
for eachsetup {}
if you want these to take effect. -
Do not call
setup {}
twice for the same server. The second call tosetup {}
will overwrite the first.
Before reporting a bug, check your logs and the output of :LspInfo
. Add the following to your init.vim to enable logging:
vim.lsp.set_log_level("debug")
Attempt to run the language server, and open the log with:
:LspLog
Most of the time, the reason for failure is present in the logs.
:LspInfo
shows the status of active and configured language servers.
The following support tab-completion for all arguments:
:LspStart <config_name>
Start the requested server name. Will only successfully start if the command detects a root directory matching the current config. Passautostart = false
to your.setup{}
call for a language server if you would like to launch clients solely with this command. Defaults to all servers matching current buffer filetype.:LspStop <client_id>
Defaults to stopping all buffer clients.:LspRestart <client_id>
Defaults to restarting all buffer clients.

If you are missing a language server on the list in server_configurations.md, contributing a new configuration for it would be appreciated. You can follow these steps:
-
Read CONTRIBUTING.md.
-
Create a new file at
lua/lspconfig/server_configurations/SERVER_NAME.lua
.- Copy an existing config to get started. Most configs are simple. For an extensive example see texlab.lua.
-
Ask questions on our Discourse or in the Neovim Matrix room.
You can also help out by testing PRs with the needs-testing
label that affect language servers you use regularly.
