Not exacly releated but, how lsp annotations (Definition Files for meta) are generated for this project and where are they? I can’t find them in the repo… There is a defold meta files but they are old(from old source).
I would like to use them with Sublime Text very much, currently I’m using old ones.

We don’t generate them yet. There is a community project that generates the annotations for various Defold versions.

Hi! It does not work for me :frowning:
I am using Windows.

  1. Latest editor is installed
  2. Correct dependency is added to the project and fetched
  3. Editor scripts are reloaded

I have even tried to restart the editor and reboot the PC.
The logs are:

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program “C:\misc\gd\test-project\build\plugins\lsp-lua-language-server\plugins\bin\x86_64-win32\bin\lua-language-server.exe” (in directory “C:\misc\gd\test-project”)
CreateProcess error=2, Can’t locate the specified file

That file does not exist indeed.
I have tried to create .defignore file with /build/plugins line, as somebody did in this thread, but this did not help.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

I would recommend that you run Defold from somewhere in your user home folder and also create your projects there. Running from a custom folder directly on the C:/ drive will most likely cause problems.

#86

Unfortunately it did not help :frowning:
Same issue reproduces in user home folder.
It looks like some files are just not fetched for some reason.

I would look into your anti virus tools, because it seems like such a case where it removes things from your folder.

#88

What’s your lsp dependency? Is it https://github.com/defold/lua-language-server/releases/download/v0.0.5/release.zip?

#89

Yes. This one:

I don’t use any antivirus actually. Only Windows Defender. Disabling it did not help.

Oh. My link was actually slightly different! With the link from the OP everything works fine!
Thank you very much and sorry for the noise :slight_smile:

This plugin is working well, however I need to add it as a project dependency in game.project file for every projects. Is there any way to install it as a editor plugin?

#93

Eventually we will integrate this language server into the editor, using a dependency is a temporary solution/a way to try it out

Hi,

This is a life saver. Very helpful. Can’t wait for full intergration.

I am having a problem with .luacheckrc

I have placed .luacheckrc in the root folder (where game.project resides) and the file contains:

unused_args = false

However no matter what I try, it won’t ignore unused function arguments. I have also tried renaming them with _underscore but no luck.

#95

Not sure why it is not working. Please create a bug report in the repository for the extension.

#96

Renaming to _ alone and not _varname works fine (perhaps that’s what was mean’t). The . file never works though.

Made a report from the editor to github now I have found out where. Thank you for the suppport.

#97

I seem to have this exact issue.

#98

Just a heads up folks, as of this morning the Lua language server is now a part of the editor distribution. Yay!

Does this mean we can remove it from dependencies?

Yes.
