Development

CMake

When using cmake, neovim requires a compile_commands.json file present in the ./build directory of the project. This ensures, that all dependent header files are found. To generate a compile_commands.json it is necessary to run cmake with the -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON parameter. A build workflow could look like this:

mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON ..
make

This produces the compile_commands.json in the ./build directory, which neovim expects.

GoLang

Go development works out of the box.

Lua

To be able to install all required Mason packages, luarocks is required.

Python

For debugging to work, debugpy must be installed using mason. Mason installations are done automatically.
If a virtual environment is used, it is required to install debugpy manually within it:

source .venv/bin/activate
pip install debugpy

When adding a virtual environment, neovim has to be restarted to ensure that it is being used.
