Why?

• ❤️ Community Driven
• 💎 Fully featured - supports all features in Language Server Protocol v3.14.
• 🚀 Easy to configure - works out of the box and automatically upgrades if additional packages are present
• 🌟 Flexible - could be configured as full-blown IDE with flashy UI or minimal distraction free

Overview

Client for Language Server Protocol (v3.14). lsp-mode aims to provide IDE-like experience by providing optional integration with the most popular Emacs packages like company, flycheck and projectile.

• Non-blocking asynchronous calls
• Real-time Diagnostics/linting (via flymake when Emacs > 26, requires flymake>=1.0.5 or builtin flycheck)
• Code completion - completion-at-point or external company-lsp. If you want to use experimental company-capf integration you may force it by setting company-capf to t.
• Hovers - using lsp-ui
• Code actions - using lsp-execute-code-action or lsp-ui sideline.
• Code outline - using builtin imenu or helm-imenu
• Code navigation - using builtin xref
• Code lens (references/implementations) - using builtin xref or fancy tree rendering via lsp-treemacs.
• Symbol highlights
• Formatting
• Debugger - dap-mode
• Helm integration - helm-lsp
• Ivy integration - lsp-ivy
• Treemacs integration - lsp-treemacs
• Semantic highlighting (as currently implemented by JDT LS and unreleased builds of clangd, cf. Semantic highlighting spec)
• which-key integration for better discovery

Installation

Install via melpa

The recommended way to install lsp-mode is via package.el - the built-in package manager in Emacs. lsp-mode is available on the two major package.el community maintained repos - MELPA Stable and MELPA.

M-x package-install [RET] lsp-mode [RET]

Configuration

Install language server

Check the table bellow with the list of supported servers and the corresponding instructions on how to install the server.

Configure lsp-mode

Vanilla Emacs

You could go minimal and use lsp-mode as it is without external packages with the built-in flymake and completion-at-point or you could install the following extensions for better experience:

• install lsp-ui for fancy sideline, popup documentation, VScode-like peek UI, etc.
• install flycheck if you prefer the more popular flycheck over renewed flymake. lsp-mode will automatically pick it up.
• install company-lsp if you want to use company-mode for completion(optional, if not installed lsp-mode will integrate with company via company-capf).
• install lsp-treemacs for various three based UI controls (symbols, errors overview, call hierarchy, etc.)
• install helm-lsp provides on type completion afternative of xref-apropos using helm.
• install lsp-ivy provides on type completion afternative of xref-apropos using ivy.
• install dap-mode if your language is supported by the debugger.

;; if you want to change prefix for lsp-mode keybindings.
(setq lsp-keymap-prefix "s-l")

(require 'lsp-mode)
(add-hook 'XXX-mode-hook #'lsp)

where XXX could be major mode like python, java, c++. Alternatively, if you want to minimize you configuration you may use prog-mode-hook. In case you do that, lsp will try to start for each programming mode and echo a message when there is no client registered for the current mode or if the corresponding server is not present. In addition, lsp-mode will automatically detect and configure lsp-ui and company-lsp. To turn off that behavior you could set lsp-auto-configure to nil.

To defer LSP server startup (and DidOpen notifications) until the buffer is visible you can use lsp-deferred instead of lsp:

(add-hook 'XXX-mode-hook #'lsp-deferred)

Spacemacs

lsp-mode is included in spacemacs develop branch. Add lsp to dotspacemacs-configuration-layers and configure the language that you want to use to be backed by lsp backend.

use-package

Replace (require 'lsp-mode) with the following if you use use-package.

(use-package lsp-mode
  ;; set prefix for lsp-command-keymap (few alternatives - "C-l", "C-c l")
  :init (setq lsp-keymap-prefix "s-l")
  :hook (;; replace XXX-mode with concrete major-mode(e. g. python-mode)
         (XXX-mode . lsp)
         ;; if you want which-key integration
         (lsp-mode . lsp-enable-which-key-integration))
  :commands lsp)

;; optionally
(use-package lsp-ui :commands lsp-ui-mode)
(use-package company-lsp :commands company-lsp)
;; if you are helm user
(use-package helm-lsp :commands helm-lsp-workspace-symbol)
;; if you are ivy user
(use-package lsp-ivy :commands lsp-ivy-workspace-symbol)
(use-package lsp-treemacs :commands lsp-treemacs-errors-list)

;; optionally if you want to use debugger
(use-package dap-mode)
;; (use-package dap-LANGUAGE) to load the dap adapter for your language

;; optional if you want which-key integration
(use-package which-key
  :config
  (which-key-mode))

To defer LSP server startup (and DidOpen notifications) until the buffer is visible you can use lsp-deferred instead of lsp:

(use-package lsp-mode
  :hook (XXX-mode . lsp-deferred)
  :commands (lsp lsp-deferred))

Docker

Refer to lsp-docker README which provide a guide how you can run lsp-mode in docker container.

Performance

When configured properly lsp-mode’s performance is on par with mainstream LSP clients (e. g. VScode, Theia, etc). Here are steps to achieve optimal results.

• Use Emacs 27+ with native json support. In order to validate that you match this criteria do M-: (functionp 'json-serialize) RET. Benchmarks show that Emacs 27 is ~15 times faster than Emacs when using Elisp json parser implementation.
• Adjust gc-cons-threshold. The default setting is too low for lsp-mode’s needs due to the fact that client/server communication generates a lot of memory/garbage. You have two options:
  • Set it to big number(100mb) like most of the popular starter kits like Spacemacs/Doom/Prelude, etc do:

  (setq gc-cons-threshold 100000000)
      

  • Follow the method recommended by Gnu Emacs Maintainer Eli Zaretskii: “My suggestion is to repeatedly multiply gc-cons-threshold by 2 until you stop seeing significant improvements in responsiveness, and in any case not to increase by a factor larger than 100 or somesuch. If even a 100-fold increase doesn’t help, there’s some deeper problem with the Lisp code which produces so much garbage, or maybe GC is not the reason for slowdown.” Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/brc05y/is_lspmode_too_slow_to_use_for_anyone_else/eofulix/
• Increase the amount of data which Emacs reads from the process. Again the emacs default is too low 4k considering that the some of the language server responses are in 800k - 3M range.

(setq read-process-output-max (* 1024 1024)) ;; 1mb

• Optional: use company-capf . Although company-lsp also supports caching lsp-mode’s company-capf does that by default. To achieve that uninstall company-lsp or put these lines in your config:

(setq lsp-prefer-capf t)

Note: - to verify which company backend implementation you are using do M-x company-diag when performing auto-completion.

• Optional: Disable lsp-ui. Normally, lsp-ui is very fast but in some systems (especially when using Windows) lsp-ui overlays and popups might slow down emacs.
• Optional: fine tune lsp-idle-delay. This variable determines how often lsp-mode will refresh the highlights, lenses, links, etc while you type.

(setq lsp-idle-delay 0.500)

Reporting performance problems

If you have tried all of the non-optional steps from the list and emacs is still not very responsive please open a PR with the following information:

• Collect lsp-log data after setting lsp-print-performance to t.

(setq lsp-print-performance t)

• Include emacs performance report. Use the following step to collect it:
  • M-x profiler-start and select CPU
  • Reproduce the slow behavior.
  • M-x profiler-stop
  • In the profiler report expand all nodes by doing C-u TAB.

  Note: - lsp-mode is just a frontend and the performance depends on server as well. Some servers (e. g. Palantir’s Python Language Server) might be slow when performing auto-completion.

How does it work?

lsp-mode has predefined list of server configurations (loaded in lsp-clients.el) containing a mapping from major-mode to the server configuration or by using activation function. In addition to the default server configuration located in lsp-clients.el there are few languages servers which require separate package(check Supported languages). When you open a file from a particular project lsp-mode and call lsp command lsp-mode will look for server registrations able to handle current file. If there is such client lsp-mode will look for the project root. If you open a file from the project for the first time you will be prompted to define the current project root. Once the project root is selected it is saved in lsp-session file and it will be loaded the next time you start Emacs so you no longer will be asked for a project root when you open a file from that project. Later if you want to change the project root you may use lsp-workspace-folder-remove to remove the project and call lsp-workspace-folder-add to add the root. If you want to force starting a particular language server in a file you may use C-u M-x lsp which will prompt you to select language server to start.

Supported languages

Some of the servers are directly supported by lsp-mode by requiring lsp-clients.el while others require installing additional packages which provide server specific functionality.

Extensions

TRAMP

LSP mode has support for tramp buffers with the following requirements:

• The language server has to be present on the remote server.
• Having multi folder language server (like Eclipse JDT LS) cannot have local and remote workspace folders.

How does it work?

lsp-mode detects whether a particular file is located on remote machine and looks for a client which matches current file and it is marked as :remote? t. Then lsp-mode starts the client through tramp.

Sample configuration

Here it is example how you can configure python language server to work when using TRAMP. Note that if you are trying to convert existing language server configuration you should copy all of it’s properties(e. g. :request-handlers, activation-fn, etc).

(lsp-register-client
 (make-lsp-client :new-connection (lsp-tramp-connection "<insert your LS's binary name or path here>")
                  :major-modes '(python-mode)
                  :remote? t
                  :server-id 'pyls-remote))

Dealing with stderr

With TRAMP, Emacs does not have an easy way to distinguish stdout and stderr, so when the underlying LSP process writes to stderr, it breaks the lsp-mode parser. As a workaround, lsp-mode is redirecting stderr to /tmp/<process-name>-<id>~stderr.

Limitations

File watches

When some of the workspaces that are active in the current project requests file notifications via workspace/didChangeWatchedFiles lsp-mode will start monitoring each of the folders in the workspace for changes. In case your project contains a lot of files you might want to disable file monitoring via lsp-enable-file-watchers (you may use dir-locals).

Contributions

Contributions are very much welcome.

Troubleshooting

• set lsp-log-io to t to inspect communication between client and the server. Use lsp-workspace-show-log to switch to the corresponding log buffer.
• lsp-describe-session will show the current projects roots + the started severs and allows inspecting the server capabilities.

Adding support for languages

Registering server

Here it is the minimal configuration that is needed for new language server registration. Refer to the documentation of lsp-client.el for the additional settings supported on registration time. lsp-language-id-configuration must be updated to contain the corresponding mode -> language id - in this case (python-mode . "python")

(defvar lsp-language-id-configuration
  '(...
    (python-mode . "python")
    ...))
;; if you are adding the support for your language server in separate repo use
;; (add-to-list 'lsp-language-id-configuration '(python-mode . "python"))

(lsp-register-client
 (make-lsp-client :new-connection (lsp-stdio-connection "pyls")
                  :major-modes '(python-mode)
                  :server-id 'pyls))

If the language server supports environment variables to control additional behavior, you can register that by using the :environment-fn function, like the Bash language client does:

(lsp-register-client
 (make-lsp-client :new-connection (lsp-stdio-connection '("bash-language-server" "start"))
                  :major-modes '(sh-mode)
                  :priority -1
                  :environment-fn (lambda ()
                                    (("EXPLAINSHELL_ENDPOINT" . lsp-bash-explainshell-endpoint)
                                     ("HIGHLIGHT_PARSING_ERRORS" . lsp-bash-highlight-parsing-errors)))
                  :server-id 'bash-ls))

lsp-bash-explainshell-endpoint and lsp-bash-highlight-parsing-errors are language client defcustom that expose supported server environment settings in a type-safe way. If you change any of those variables, restart the language server with lsp-restart-workspace for the changes to be applied.

Sections

lsp-mode provides tools to bridge emacs defcustom as a language configuration sections properties(see specification workspace/configuration). In addition you may use lsp-generate-settings from Generate Settings script to generate defcustom from package.json VScode plugin manifest. Example:

(defcustom lsp-foo-language-server-property "bar"
  "Demo property."
  :group 'foo-ls
  :risky t)

(lsp-register-custom-settings '(("foo.section.property" lsp-foo-language-server-property)))

(lsp-configuration-section  "foo")
;; =>  (("foo" ("settings" ("property" . "bar"))))

FAQ

• How do I troubleshoot “Server FOO-LS:pid exited with status signal. Do you want to restart it? (y or n)”?
  • This message indicates that the language server has crashed for some reason. You may check the server stderr which is *FOO-LS::stderr*. If you get this message on startup you may try to run the exact command that lsp-mode is running in the terminal. You may find it in *lsp-log* buffer.
• How to configure a server with local variables?
  • Add lsp server call to hack-local-variables-hook which runs right after the local variables are loaded.

    (add-hook 'hack-local-variables-hook
              (lambda () (when (derived-mode-p 'XXX-mode) (lsp))))
            

• I have multiple language servers registered for language FOO. Which one will be used when opening a project?
  • The one with highest priority wins. lsp-clients.el predefined servers have priority -1, lower than external packages (priority 0 if unspecified). If a server is registered with :add-on? flag set to t it will be started in parallel to the other servers that are registered for the current mode.
• I have multiple language servers for language FOO and I want to select the server per project, what can I do?
  • You may create dir-local for each of the projects and specify list of lsp-enabled-clients. This will narrow the list of the clients that are going to be tested for the project.
• The completion does not work fine and inserts arguments and placeholders, what I am doing wrong?
  • Snippet support works only with company-lsp so if you are using completion-at-point the snippets won’t be expanded and you should either disable them by setting lsp-enable-snippet to nil or you should switch to company-lsp. Note also that company-tng frontend does not support snippet expansion(see company-mode#891)
• How to automatically follow lsp-ui-log?
  • Go into the log buffer and execute the following snippet(source: Emacs auto scrolling log buffer)

  (set (make-local-variable 'window-point-insertion-type) t)
      

• I am getting “Package ‘spinner-1.7.3’ is unavailable” when trying to install lsp-mode.
  • This is caused by GPG keys used by the ELPA package manager not being up to date. You may fix by installing: gnu-elpa-keyring-update
• Json completion doesn’t seem working?
  • The latest vscode-json-languageserver is broken. You will need to install the earlier version of it npm i vscode-json-languageserver@1.2.1
• The flycheck does not work in typescript, html and javascript blocks in vue-mode. How to fix that?
  • This is caused by the fact that vue-mode uses multiple major modes in single file and the lsp-ui checker may not associated with the major mode at point. You could fix that by adding the following lines to your config.

    (with-eval-after-load 'lsp-mode
      (mapc #'lsp-flycheck-add-mode '(typescript-mode js-mode css-mode vue-html-mode)))
