Restarting A Neovim LSP When Changing Buffers
This currently only works some times. Not sure yet, but I think if the client crashes it doesn't restart properly. Leaving this hear as a work in progress
I'm working on a LSP for my custom file format. I set up the following autocmd and added it to my nvim.lua config file to restart the LSP everytime I enter the buffer for a .tmp file (which is what I'm testing with for now)
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("BufEnter", {
pattern = "*.tmp",
group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("LSPTestRestartGroup", { clear = true }),
callback = function()
print("restarting lsp")
vim.lsp.stop_client(vim.lsp.get_active_clients())
vim.lsp.start({
name = 'neopolitan',
cmd = {'/Users/alan/workshop/neopolitan-lsp/target/debug/nrs-language-server'},
root_dir = vim.fs.dirname(vim.fs.find({'Cargo.toml'}, { upward = true })[1]),
})
end,
})Notes

The directions for how to restart came from the faq. They said to use .get_clients(), but that didn't work for me whereas
.get_active_cliets()did.
