Hey, I am have issues setting up the language server on my local machine, what I mean is that when I launch the client, the language server facilities such hover, auto-completion etc. does not work. How do I get that to work? Thanks :-)

My python is 3.9

I can't seem to get the language server to start when opening ado files. There are no errors and no logs related to this extension.

How can i fix this error? Many thanks.

The /usr/bin/python3 server crashed 5 times in the last 3 minutes. The server will not be restarted.

It seems like the style checker is overly aggressive. I'll start with a mild-example that I think can go both ways and then provide an example where I think it's clearly incorrect to be complaining.

Ideally, I'd like if the style checker could be customized, but, absent that, I would appreciate better default settings

Innocuous Example

The use of indents to demarcate blocks of code is fairly standard, but in the example below, the indented lines are flagged for inappropriate indented line

frame create agg_data
frame agg_data {
    sysuse auto
    gcollapse (mean) mpg, by(foreign)
}

Indents are also commonly used to handle extremely long commands, yet the style checker will both

• complain that the line is too long if you don't do anything; and
• complain that you have inappropriately indented lines when you fix it

* This is a very long command that gets flagged
twoway (line y x) || (scatter y x) || (line y x) || (line y x) || (line y x) || (line y x) || (line y x) || (line y x) || (line y x) || (line y x) || (line y x) || (line y x) || (line y x) || (line y x) || (line y x) || (line y x)

* This is the wrapped version of the same command
* that still gets flagged

twoway ///
    (line y x) || ///
    (scatter y x) || ///
    ... ///
    (line y x)

Clearly wrong Example

The style checker is ignorant of standard Stata syntax for checking the display format of variables. If you write format date %td, which is the idiomatic way to format a numeric column so that it prints as a Stata date, the style checker flags it as whitespace around operator should be 1. Of course, this is a relic of python styling, where % is used as an operator much like -, +, etc. But Stata does not use % in that way.
