.vscode/settings.json not work with VIM8

[vuvk]

Hello. I use Ant in my project. I put my dependencies jar-libraries to .vscode/settings.json (#54), but lsclient doesn't t see them ("error| package com.badlogic.gdx does not exist [compiler.err.doesnt.exist]" and etc)

My settings.json:

{ "java.classPath": [ "libs/gdx-1.9.14.jar", "libs/gdx-backend-lwjgl-1.9.14.jar", "libs/gdx-backend-lwjgl3-1.9.14.jar", "libs/gdx-freetype-1.9.14.jar", "libs/gdx-freetype-platform-1.9.14-natives-desktop.jar", "libs/gdx-freetype-platform-1.9.14.jar", "libs/gdx-jnigen-loader-2.0.1.jar", "libs/gdx-openal-0.9.9.jar", "libs/gdx-platform-1.9.14-natives-desktop.jar", "libs/gdx-platform-1.9.14.jar", "libs/jinput.jar", "libs/jlayer-1.0.1-gdx.jar", "libs/lib/jlayer-1.0.1.4.jar", "libs/lib/jorbis-0.0.17.4.jar", "libs/lib/mp3spi-1.9.5.4.jar", "libs/lib/tritonus-share-0.3.7-2.jar", "libs/lib/vorbisspi-1.0.3.3.jar", "libs/lwjgl-2.9.3.jar", "libs/lwjgl-natives-linux-2.9.3.jar", "libs/lwjgl-natives-macosx-2.9.3.jar", "libs/lwjgl-natives-windows-2.9.3.jar", "libs/lwjgl-util-2.9.3.jar", "libs/RetardSoundSystem-0.5.jar", "libs/json-simple-1.1.1.jar",

Are you using vscode?

[vuvk]

@georgewfraser no. I'm using VIM 8

I'm having the same issue, trying to get this working with VIM. I've created a file ~/.config/Code/User/settings.json with a jar file specified in java.classPath, but it doesn't pick it up. I've also tried creating a .vscode/settings.json file in the folder with my Java source, but didn't work either. Classpath shows as empty when the server starts up.

Same issue in Neovim using the native LSP client.

.vscode/settings is a file that is read by VSCode, which it then passes to the server, the server does not read .vscode/settings directly (from my understanding). You need to configure the language server's settings from whatever client you're using, so in my case with nvim-lspconfig, I use the following configuration to add externalDependencies:

nvim_lsp.java_language_server.setup {
  cmd = { ".../lang_server_linux.sh" },
  on_attach = on_attach,
  settings = {
    java = {
      externalDependencies = { "com.sun.net.httpserver:http:20070405" }
    }
  },
  flags = {
    debounce_text_changes = 150,
  }
}
