rnix-lsp

A syntax-checking language server using rnix.

This is beta-level quality at best - I didn't expect maintaining a language server when writing rnix, the goal was that others would flock around the parser and write a bunch of editor tooling :)

Breakages are expected. No semver compatibility before 1.x.y.

Turn on logging with RUST_LOG=trace, and redirect stderr to a file.

bash -c "env RUST_LOG=trace rnix-lsp 2> /tmp/rnix-lsp.log"

Install

$ nix-env -i -f https://github.com/elkowar/rnix-lsp/archive/master.tar.gz
