Problem: setting `loclist = true` makes `on_list` being ignored. This
was not a problem before, but with `vim.lsp.buf.document_symbol` using
`loclist = true` as default it is needed to explicitly pass `loclist =
false` in order to use custom `on_list`.
Solution: prefer `on_list` over `loclist` and document the latter as
taking effect only in the default handler.
Problem: Not able to open document symbols for different buffers
Solution: Use the location list as default.
To switch back to previous behavior (qflist):
vim.lsp.buf.document_symbol({ loclist = false })
Fixes: #31832
If root_dir is a function it is evaluated when the client is created to
determine the root directory.
This enables dynamically determining the root directory based on e.g.
project or directory structure (example: finding a parent Cargo.toml
file that contains "[workspace]" in a Rust project).
Problem: LSP configs on the runtimepath must have the same name as the
LSP server and must also explicitly set the name in vim.lsp.config. This
is redundant and creates a footgun where a user may accidentally use the
wrong name when assigning to the vim.lsp.config table.
Solution: Return a table from lsp/ runtimepath files instead
Problem:
Language server version information missing from `:checkhealth vim.lsp`.
Solution:
Store `InitializeResult.serverInfo.version` from the `initialize`
response and display for each client in `:checkhealth vim.lsp`.
Design goals/requirements:
- Default configuration of a server can be distributed across multiple sources.
- And via RTP discovery.
- Default configuration can be specified for all servers.
- Configuration _can_ be project specific.
Solution:
- Two new API's:
- `vim.lsp.config(name, cfg)`:
- Used to define default configurations for servers of name.
- Can be used like a table or called as a function.
- Use `vim.lsp.confg('*', cfg)` to specify default config for all
servers.
- `vim.lsp.enable(name)`
- Used to enable servers of name. Uses configuration defined
via `vim.lsp.config()`.
Using the "supports_method" function with a client capability inside of
an LspAttach autocommand is the preferred method to do this, so we
should be showing users how to do it.
* refactor(shared): extract `vim._list_insert` and `vim._list_remove`
* feat(lsp): add `vim.lsp.foldexpr()`
* docs(lsp): add a todo for state management
* feat(lsp): add `vim.lsp.folding_range.foldclose()`
* feat(lsp): schedule `foldclose()` if the buffer is not up-to-date
* feat(lsp): add `vim.lsp.foldtext()`
* feat(lsp): support multiple folding range providers
* refactor(lsp): expose all folding related functions under `vim.lsp.*`
* perf(lsp): add `lsp.MultiHandler` for do `foldupdate()` only once
**Problem:** The `context` parameter for `references()` is just typed as
a table, which is unhelpful.
**Solution:** Properly type it as an `lsp.ReferenceContext`!
Problem:
LSP spec uses the term "position encoding" where we say "offset encoding".
Solution:
- Rename it everywhere except `vim.lsp.Client.offset_encoding` (which would be breaking).
- Mention "position encoding" in the documentation for `vim.lsp.Client.offset_encoding`.
Problem:
Since [version 3.17](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#textDocuments),
LSP supports specifying the position encoding (aka offset encoding) supported by
the client through `positionEncoding`. Since #31209, Nvim fully supports
`utf-8`, `utf-16`, and `utf-32` encodings.
Previously, nvim assumed all clients for a buffer had the same
`offset_encoding`, so:
* Nvim provides `vim.lsp._get_offset_encoding()` to get `offset_encoding`, but
this function is incorrect because `offset_encoding` is per-client, not
per-buffer.
* Based on the strategy of `vim.lsp._get_offset_encoding()`,
`vim.lsp.util.make_position_params()`, `vim.lsp.util.make_range_params()`, and
`vim.lsp.util.make_given_range_params()` do not require the caller to pass
`offset_encoding`, which is invalid.
* https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/25272
Solution:
* Mark `vim.lsp._get_offset_encoding()` as `@deprecated`.
* Change the type annotations of `vim.lsp.util.make_position_params()`,
`vim.lsp.util.make_range_params()`, `vim.lsp.util.make_given_range_params()`
to require the `offset_encoding` param.
Problem:
Capability register logic is spread across 3 files.
Solution:
- Consolidate (and simplify) logic into the client.
- Teach client.supports_method about resolve methods
**Problem:** Despite the LSP providing the option for language servers
to specify a range with a hover response (for highlighting), Neovim does
not give the option to highlight this range.
**Solution:** Add an option to `buf.hover()` which causes this range to
be highlighted.

- Partition the handlers in vim.lsp.handlers as:
- client to server response handlers (RCS)
- server to client request handlers (RSC)
- server to client notification handlers (NSC)
Note use string indexes instead of protocol.methods for improved
typing in LuaLS (tip: use hover on RCS, RSC or NSC).
Problem:
- `vim.highlight` module does not follow `:help dev-name-common`, which
documents the name for "highlight" as "hl".
- Shorter names are usually preferred.
Solution:
Rename `vim.highlight` to `vim.hl`.
This is not a breaking change until 2.0 (or maybe never).
The current LspAttach example shows setting options which are already
set by default. We should expect that users are going to copy-paste
these examples, so we shouldn't use examples that are superfluous and
unnecessary.
An implication of this current approach is that `NVIM_API_LEVEL` should be
bumped when a new Lua function is added.
TODO(future): add a lint check which requires `@since` on all new functions.
ref #25416
Some composite/compound types even as basic as `(string|number)[]` are
not currently supported by the luacats LPEG grammar used by gen_vimdoc.
It would be parsed & rendered as just `string|number`.
Changeset adds better support for these types.
