Lsp capabilities not working with obsidian.nvim

[owod24]

I am using obsidian.nvim for my note taking system and after setting up marksman, i tried to use the features such as hover documentation and goto definition but i cant get it to work
Here is my obsidian.nvim config
`
"epwalsh/obsidian.nvim",
version = "*", -- recommended, use latest release instead of latest commit
lazy = true,
ft = "markdown",
dependencies = {
-- Required.
"nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
"nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
"hrsh7th/nvim-cmp",
"nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
-- "neovim/nvim-lspconfig",
},

config = function()
	require("obsidian").setup({
		---@param url string
		follow_url_func = function(url)
			-- Open the URL in the default web browser.
			vim.fn.jobstart({ "open", url }) -- Mac OS
		end,

		ui = {
			enable = false,
			checkboxes = {
				["x"] = { char = "󰱒", hl_group = "ObsidianDone" },
			},
		},
		workspaces = {
			{
				name = "personal",
				path = "~/Desktop/Personal/Obsidian/Main/",
			},
		},

		templates = {
			folder = "05 - Resources/Templates",
			date_format = "%Y-%m-%d",
		},

		disable_frontmatter = true,
		notes_subdir = "+Inbox",
		new_notes_location = "notes_subdir",
		--NOTE: Create functions to select template on ObsidianNew command
		note_id_func = function(title)
			-- If a title is provided, use it as the filename with spaces
			return title or tostring(os.time())
		end,
		-- Optional, completion of wiki links, local markdown links, and tags using nvim-cmp.
		completion = {
			-- Set to false to disable completion.
			nvim_cmp = true,
			-- Trigger completion at 2 chars.
			min_chars = 2,
		},

		picker = {
			name = "telescope.nvim",
		},
		mappings = {
			-- Overrides the 'gf' mapping to work on markdown/wiki links within your vault.
			["gf"] = {
				action = function()
					return require("obsidian").util.gf_passthrough()
				end,
				opts = { noremap = false, expr = true, buffer = true },
			},
			-- Toggle check-boxes.
			["<leader>ch"] = {
				action = function()
					return require("obsidian").util.toggle_checkbox()
				end,
				opts = { buffer = true },
			},
			-- Smart action depending on context, either follow link or toggle checkbox.
			["<cr>"] = {
				action = function()
					return require("obsidian").util.smart_action()
				end,
				opts = { buffer = true, expr = true },
			},
		},
	})
	-- Key mapping to create a new note with a selected template
	vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<leader>on", ":ObsidianNew<CR>", { noremap = true, silent = true })
	vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<leader>ot", ":ObsidianTemplate<CR>", { noremap = true, silent = true })
	vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<leader>oT", ":ObsidianTags<CR>", { noremap = true, silent = true })
	vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<leader>or", ":ObsidianRename<CR>", { noremap = true, silent = true })
	vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<leader>os", ":ObsidianSearch<CR>", { noremap = true, silent = true })

	vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "<CR>", ":lua follow_url_func<CR>", { noremap = true, silent = true })
end,

`

And here is my marksman config:

`
["marksman"] = function()
-- TODO: Lsp keymaps for marksman not working
lspconfig.marksman.setup({
root_dir = function()
return vim.fn.expand("~/Desktop/Personal/Obsidian/Main/")
end,
cmd = { "marksman", "server" }, -- Moved out of settings
settings = {
marksman = { -- Added marksman table
features = { -- Moved features inside marksman settings
definition = true,
references = true,
hover = true,
},
-- Add these to help with Obsidian paths
includes = {
"/*.md",
"/*.markdown",
},
},
},
on_attach = on_attach,
capabilities = capabilities,
filetypes = { "markdown", "markdown.mdx", ".md" }, -- Added explicit filetypes
})
end,

`

Im not sure what the issue is or if theyre compatible. I would like to know

Hi @owod24! I don't use obsidian.nvim so won't be able to provide support. What I could suggest is trying to setup marksman without obsidian.nvim and see if it works. And then go from there.

I also created LazyVim/LazyVim#5417
in my case I'm not using the obsidian plugin

[LorenzoBettini]

In the above reported issue, problems started after updating marksman from "2024-10-07" to "2024-12-18".

Were you gents able to figure this out? For some reason the wiki links created by marksman are not compatible with Obsidian, and potentially vice versa.

Any idea why?

[owod24]

From my understanding, obsidian has its own in-built lsp that conflicts with how marksman wants to treat and handle links. Because of this you can only use one or the other. I decided to stick with obsidian since it has most of marksmans features.

[magnusriga]

@owod24 fwiw, I found out that it was just a marksman config setting. Specifically, wiki.style = file-stem. That made the links created with marksman work in Obsidian, and vice versa.

I decided not to use obsidian.nvim, since the original project is no longer maintained. I am using this to fill the gaps (create notes from templates, etc.): https://github.com/magnusriga/markdown-tools.nvim

This is a great plugin. I am using it alongside obsidian nvim. Didn't know the project was no longer maintained but it still works fine for most of my use cases. I would love to contribute to it as a learning opportunity, anyway i can help?

[magnusriga]

@owod24 Thank you. Perhaps suggest some functionality that would be useful in day-to-day markdown editing, and nvim notes-handling, via the Issues page, and we can add it in :)

Just FYI:
The obsidian.nvim project is very active in the new fork:
https://github.com/obsidian-nvim/obsidian.nvim

epwalsh/obsidian.nvim#820

[magnusriga]

@Dardanos-Aeolus Yep, I even contributed a bit there :) Ultimately decided I just needed a modern toolbox for markdown that made/modified obsidian-compatible notes, thus decided to not double down on the new obsidian fork.
