Lsp-mode: Semantic highlighting while typing

[cprussin]

I notice that the semantic highlighting isn't updating while I type, it only updates if I re-run lsp. Is there some option that controls this?

Can you reproduce the solution in here for the sake of searchability? thanks!

Ah yes, sorry about that. It is the responsibility of the language server to expose the capability. lsp-mode will automatically send the updates while you type and apply the semantic highlights if the language server announces the capability. If this isn't working for you for some language it's very likely the language server isn't announcing the capability, check the initial json payload sent by the server in your debug logs.
