Languageclient-neovim: Feature request - server start command and specify socket address

[mnussbaum]

First off just want to say thanks for the awesome language client!

I'm hoping to use this project with the Ruby language server solargraph, which I believe doesn't handle input via STDIN. I'd really like to be able to define both a start command for the solargraph server, as well as the socket address to reach it at. This would let me take advatange of your existing work to manage the server child process even with non-cooperative language servers.

Yes! I really want this too.

will chime in here and say i just discovered solargraph, and would love to use it with LC-neovim, too! thanks @autozimu!

It works for me

[goronfreeman]

I was able to get it work from the article @vtm9 posted, but it requires running solargraph socket manually outside of vim. It would be nice to be able to have the server start automatically in the background. Is there some way to do this that I'm not seeing?

[vtm9]

Currently no. Maybe later, if solargraph maintaner will make stdin interface.

Solargraph added the STDIO interface, and I can confirm that it works with this project 👍

[autozimu]

Since solargraph has added stdio interface, there is no immediate benefits adding this support. Closing for now.
