Installation and Usage

Documentation:

To install LanguageServer.jl into the current environment:

using Pkg
Pkg.add("LanguageServer")

To run an instance of LanguageServer.jl on env_path, you can run Julia as follows:

julia --project=/path/to/LanguageServer.jl/environment \
  -e "using LanguageServer; runserver()" \
  <env_path>

If env_path is not specified, the language server will run on the parent project of pwd or on the default .julia/environments/v#.# if there is no parent project.

Development of the VSCode extension

See https://github.com/julia-vscode/julia-vscode/wiki for information on how to test this package with the VSCode extension

LanguageServer.jl does not normally search upwards for .JuliaFormatter.toml

You can turn this on by setting the initialization option "useFormatterConfigDefaults" to true
