The LSP is built on pygls and rollnw. It is derived from the Pygls Playground and aims, at this point, only to be a tested bed for implementing LSP features. A more robust implementation will come later maybe integrating with nasher.cfg. For now only the current document path will be added to the include path of the script context resman.

That the testbed extension is for vscode is out of simplicity, obviously plugins for any LSP client emacs, (neo)vim, etc will be supported.

Currently, it implements:

• Completions
• Hover
• Workspace Diagnostics
• Document Symbols
• Signature Help

1. Install required package

   python -m pip install rollnw
   

2. Install the language server

   python -m pip install nwscript-language-server
   

Note: Sometimes "--break-system-packages" is needed to install

 python -m pip install --break-system-packages rollnw
 python -m pip install --break-system-packages nwscript-language-server

3. Make sure nwscript-language-server is on your PATH!

4. Setup neovim config - Obviously people's tastes will differ here and not all of it is fully implemented.

   require("config.lazy")
   
   vim.api.nvim_exec(
   [[
   autocmd FileType nwscript setlocal lsp
   ]],
   false
   )
   
   local lspconfig = require("lspconfig")
   local configs = require("lspconfig.configs")
   
   if not configs.nwscript_language_server then
   configs.nwscript_language_server = {
      default_config = {
         cmd = { "nwscript-language-server" },
         filetypes = { "nwscript" },
         root_dir = lspconfig.util.root_pattern(".git", "nasher.cfg"),
      },
   }
   end
   
   lspconfig.nwscript_language_server.setup({
   on_attach = function(client, bufnr)
      -- Custom on_attach function (optional)
      print("nwscript language server attached!")
   
      require("lsp_signature").on_attach({
         bind = true, -- This is mandatory, otherwise border config won't get registered.
         handler_opts = {
         border = "rounded",
         },
      }, bufnr)
   
      -- Enable snippet support (if your completion plugin supports snippets)
      vim.bo[bufnr].expandtab = false
      vim.bo[bufnr].shiftwidth = 4
   end,
   settings = {
      ["nwscript-language-server"] = {
         disableSnippets = "on",
      },
   },
   })
   
   -- Global mappings.
   -- See `:help vim.diagnostic.*` for documentation on any of the below functions
   vim.keymap.set("n", "<space>e", vim.diagnostic.open_float)
   vim.keymap.set("n", "[d", vim.diagnostic.goto_prev)
   vim.keymap.set("n", "]d", vim.diagnostic.goto_next)
   vim.keymap.set("n", "<space>q", vim.diagnostic.setloclist)
   
   -- Use LspAttach autocommand to only map the following keys
   -- after the language server attaches to the current buffer
   vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("LspAttach", {
   group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("UserLspConfig", {}),
   callback = function(ev)
      -- Enable completion triggered by <c-x><c-o>
      vim.bo[ev.buf].omnifunc = "v:lua.vim.lsp.omnifunc"
   
      -- Buffer local mappings.
      -- See `:help vim.lsp.*` for documentation on any of the below functions
      local opts = { buffer = ev.buf }
      vim.keymap.set("n", "gD", vim.lsp.buf.declaration, opts)
      vim.keymap.set("n", "gd", vim.lsp.buf.definition, opts)
      vim.keymap.set("n", "K", vim.lsp.buf.hover, opts)
      vim.keymap.set("n", "gi", vim.lsp.buf.implementation, opts)
      vim.keymap.set("n", "<C-k>", vim.lsp.buf.signature_help, opts)
      vim.keymap.set("n", "<space>wa", vim.lsp.buf.add_workspace_folder, opts)
      vim.keymap.set("n", "<space>wr", vim.lsp.buf.remove_workspace_folder, opts)
      vim.keymap.set("n", "<space>wl", function()
         print(vim.inspect(vim.lsp.buf.list_workspace_folders()))
      end, opts)
      vim.keymap.set("n", "<space>D", vim.lsp.buf.type_definition, opts)
      vim.keymap.set("n", "<space>rn", vim.lsp.buf.rename, opts)
      vim.keymap.set({ "n", "v" }, "<space>ca", vim.lsp.buf.code_action, opts)
      vim.keymap.set("n", "gr", vim.lsp.buf.references, opts)
      vim.keymap.set("n", "<space>f", function()
         vim.lsp.buf.format({ async = true })
      end, opts)
   end,
   })

Open a terminal in the repository's root directory

1. Create a virtual environment

   python -m venv env
   

2. Install pygls

   python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Open terminal in the same directory as this file and execute following commands:

1. Install node dependencies

   npm install
   

2. Compile the extension

   npm run compile
   

   Alternatively you can run npm run watch if you are going to be actively working on the extension itself.

1. Open this directory in VS Code

2. The playground relies on the Python extension for VSCode for choosing the appropriate Python environment in which to run the example language servers. If you haven't already, you will need to install it and reload the window.

3. Open the Run and Debug view (ctrl + shift + D)

4. Select Launch Client and press F5, this will open a second VSCode window with the vscode-playground extension enabled.

5. You will need to make sure that VSCode is using a virtual environment that contains an installation of pygls. The Python: Select Interpreter command can be used to pick the correct one.

   Alternatively, you can set the pygls.server.pythonPath option in the .vscode/settings.json file
