Languageclient-neovim: I got `languageclient: Not executable!` on starting nvim

[octaltree]

Why don't you append chmod u+x bin/$name to install.sh?

[autozimu]

The install.sh is already an executable.

You need either run the script to download latest binary or follow the latest installation instruction https://github.com/autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim/blob/next/INSTALL.md#3-install-this-plugin.

[octaltree]

The install.sh is an executable. bin/languageclient which is downloaded with install.sh isn't an executable.

[autozimu]

Hmm. This is unexpected.

It used to have executable bit previously.

[wpcarro]

I'm unsure what I need to do to get this working. I have the following configuration in my .vimrc, and per @autozimu suggestion:

Plugin 'autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim', {
  \ 'branch': 'next',
  \ 'do': 'bash install.sh',
  \ }

I am still receiving the following error:

LanguageClient: Not executable!
Press ENTER or type command to continue

I dug around in ~/.vim/bundle/LanguageClient-neovim/install.sh, but I couldn't see what I need to make executable to make it execute.

[autozimu]

Can you check if the binary is executable in your host?

You can see previous diff to add executable bit.

[wpcarro]

Hi @autozimu can you be more specific?

A). Which binary? Can you tell me where to find the binary file so that I can check whether or not it is executable?

B). The previous diff of what? install.sh?

[autozimu]

A) In your copy of plugin, bin/languageclient
B) https://github.com/autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim/commit/b2fea8e2c58f5bd89f4e51e586ccea299b8c19ad

@autozimu if I run locate languageclient on my machine, all of the candidates are related to Visual Studio Code. I'm not seeing any vim-related results. Additionally, this command returns nothing for me:

❯ find ~/.vim -type f -name 'languageclient'

Any ideas as to where I locate bin/languageclient?

[wpcarro]

@autozimu regarding the diff, my version of the install.sh has the call to chmod, so I'm not sure what else to do.

[wpcarro]

@autozimu and future readers, I got this working by manually downloading the release from the GH release page and running:

$ curl --location https://github.com/autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim/releases/download/0.1.25/languageclient-0.1.25-x86_64-apple-darwin --output ~/.vim/bundle/LanguageClient-neovim/bin/languageclient && chmod 755 ~/.vim/bundle/LanguageClient-neovim/bin/languageclient

@wpcarro worked for me thanks! I just replaced the ~/.vim/bundle/ with my plugin manager location, in my case using dein and neovim so... ~/.cache/dein/repos/github.com/autozimu/.

thanks!

I had the same problem and fixed it by replacing

Plugin 'autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim', {
  \ 'branch': 'next',
  \ 'do': 'bash install.sh',
  \ }

by

Plugin 'autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim', {
  \ 'branch': 'next',
  \ 'do': './install.sh',
  \ }

I had to go into my minpac plugin directory for LanguageClient-neovim and manually run install.sh to get this working...

[rachmadaniHaryono]

got the same error LanguageClient: Not executable! on ubuntu 18.04

the last part command from wpcarro fix it

chmod 755 ~/.vim/bundle/LanguageClient-neovim/bin/languageclient
