Youcompleteme: "The ycmd server SHUT DOWN (restart with :YcmRestartServer)"

[tarciozemel]

I just upgraded the plugin and now it stop to work... When I open Vim, I always see the message "The ycmd server SHUT DOWN (restart with :YcmRestartServer)".

When I run that command, the message "Restarting ycmd server..." appears, but in no time "The ycmd server SHUT DOWN (restart with :YcmRestartServer). Stderr (last 30 lines):" (no lines are shown).

[Valloric]

Please see CONTRIBUTING.md.

[tarciozemel]

I already saw this, but I haven't gvim/macvim. Unfortunately, my YCM is useless now and I'll have to find another plugin which comes close to this quality... I wish luck to those with this same problem.

[vheon]

I already saw this, but I haven't vim/macvim

Are you sure you saw CONTRIBUTING.md? Because from the issue it doesn't seem so. And if you are not using vim then what are you using?

[tarciozemel]

Terminal Vim...

[vheon]

which is vim... but still I don't see any point regarding writing good issue reports in CONTRIBUTING.md

[tarciozemel]

"Then start gvim/macvim"...?

[vheon]

If you are unable to install them then just put this in your vimrc

let g:ycm_server_keep_logfiles = 1
let g:ycm_server_log_level = 'debug'

then start vim look ycmd server shut down and go look at te logs (I'm not completely sure if let g:ycm_server_keep_logfiles = 1 is needed but it wouldn't harm). To see where the logs are located run the command :YcmDebugInfo. Then post the logs and the remaining points of writing good issue reports in CONTRIBUTING.md

[tarciozemel]

Oh! Now we're moving on! :-)

I stalled all packages pointed in README (build-essential, cmake and python-dev) and update all my Vim plugins few days ago (rerunning ./install.sh --clang-completer in the folder, of course).

1. Write a step-by-step procedure that when performed repeatedly reproduces your issue.

I just upgraded the plugin and now it stop to work... When I open Vim, I always see the message "The ycmd server SHUT DOWN (restart with :YcmRestartServer)".

When I run that command, the message "Restarting ycmd server..." appears, but in no time "The ycmd server SHUT DOWN (restart with :YcmRestartServer). Stderr (last 30 lines):" (no lines are shown).

2. ycmd debug output stream in the console

3. Create a test case for your issue

Happening in all files I try to edit.

Thats the error, and as suggested you should have seen the docs first

I know I'm late to this party, but I had same issue for vim & neovim after update/upgrade.
Just took running ./install.py after

cd ~.vim/plugged/YouCompleteMe (vim)
cd ~/.local/share/nvim/site/plugged/YouCompleteMe (neovim) :)
./install.py

It was extremely frustrating & annoying! BUT it now works!
Still hack of better than using an alternative BIG FAT IDEs.
On Ubuntu 16.04 64bit w/ nyaovim mostly but happened to BOTH.
Hope this helps many!

[elStranger]

@yelled1
thanks

[shinux]

@yelled1
exactly

[puremourning]

It was extremely frustrating & annoying!

Also, clearly documented int he README.

[yelled1]

Not using Vundle / using plug. So, took me a bit to try the install.py after multiple rm -rf YCM* PlugInstall, PlugUpdate, etc...
Prb w/ vim or nvim - a long error msgs get truncated & also pushed out by others quickly on a fast computer. So, have to :messages see it all which is a new trick I learned after all these years (Thanks to the person who pointed that out!)
4 thumbs up = at least some finds it helpful (so pls don't discourage info sharing)
We appreciate YCM team, but vim is w/o bloat & not exactly friendly. My init.vim is now 300 lines long & still only do about 80% of what needs to be done.

[Linlinzhao]

@yelled1 Thanks.

I am using vundle to manage plugins (Ubuntu 16.04, kernel 4.10). So the path is

~/.vim/bundle/Youcompleteme/install.py

[ghost]

If you are getting this error on Ubuntu 17.10, Please install python-dev package. By default, Python 3.6 is shipped with this version of Ubuntu. Re-run the install.py file from the installed directory.
This fixed my problem.

[fad0]

@yelled1
Thank you! :)

[maxprkr]

sounds like your autocomplete package is missing the ycmd server that it requires. You need to install the YCM server. Follow the instructions from:
https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe#ubuntu-linux-x64

[jedmao]

This worked for me...

cd /usr/local/share/vim/vim80/plugged/YouCompleteMe
sudo python3 install.py --clang-completer --js-completer

[narg95]

I had the same issue on Mac and the problem was because cmake was not installed. I solved it with:

• brew install cmake and then what @jedmao mentioned but on macOS
• cd ~/.vim/bundle/youcompleteme
• install.py --clang-completer --js-completer

[weaming]

Cause I installed anaconda python replacing the system default python, when I run ./install.sh, it call the script with anaconda python instead of system default python.

Then I run /usr/bin/python ./install.sh, it's been fixed 😄

And, does anyone know what the script does to the python environments?

[papiro]

Not sure if this is an issue. The installation instructions in the documentation seem to cover the solutions suggested in this thread.

[paradoor]

@yelled1 Thank you! This worked for me, except I needed to go to

cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe

as @Linlinzhao said, and my issue was that cmake was not installed when I tried to do ./install.py so, on Ubuntu 16.04:

sudo apt install cmake
./install.py

And perfect! Tried opening Vim, now works like a charm :)

[adam-erickson]

I also had problems with this error on MacOS, caused by installing with Anaconda Python 3.6.4. So, I removed the YouCompleteMe folder with rm -rf ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe, installed the latest MacVim binary from here, reinstalled all packages defined in my ~/.vimrc file by running vim and using the :PluginInstall command, installed Homebrew Python 3.6.5 with brew install python, and finally installed YouCompleteMe with this command:

sudo /usr/local/bin/python3 install.py --clang-completer --go-completer --js-completer

All systems are go.

Request: support for Anaconda Python would be excellent, as it is inefficient to have three separate installations of Python to manage.

[terhuhf]

It turns out that this issue happens every time after I update YCM using Vundle.

[willunicamp]

@yelled1 ty

[xiaoniaoyou]

cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe
./install.py

[cstich]

I am using Anaconda and had the same issue. What also seems to work is to install the missing library within Anaconda.

 conda install libgcc

did the trick for me.

[moadAlami]

@yelled1 You sir, deserve a cookie.

[steakknife]

(cd ~/.vim/bundle/YouCompleteMe && ./install.py --go-completer --java-completer --rust-completer --clang-completer)

[yelled1]

Another important todo as I am now using pyenv:
export PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared"
Must be added to your .bash_aliases or somewhere like that to use: pyenv (mo better? than conda version control)

[puremourning]

This is in the FAQ isn’t it?

[micbou]

Even better, the install.py script suggests this. Anyway, I am locking the issue. Most comments are either outdated or irrelevant. Yes, you need to run install.py to install YCM and run it again when a big update happens. It's not like install.py is mentioned 39 times in the docs.
