How to send a request from the server to the client?

[heitor-lassarote]

I see notify_back can send a notification from the server to the client, but I don't see how to do it with a request. In particular, I'm trying to send ClientRegisterCapability to accept incoming requests of ChangeConfiguration, but I can't see a way to do that without resorting to the low-level API using jsonrpc (and I'm not even sure of this).

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how can this be achieved with Linol?

I don't think there's an API for that right now :). It could be added to base_server in server.ml I suppose. PR welcome if you want!

I see, thanks for clarifying! I can give a try at implementing this after my vacations end next week. It'll be nice to better familiarize with its internals.

Just an update: I didn't forget about this issue, only some more important tasks appeared first. I'll begin working on it now.

fyi: there's a branch with a move to lsp 1.14, you should try that. It is more up-to-date wrt the Lsp protocol.

[heitor-lassarote]

Thanks for the heads-up, I'll rebase my changes on top of that branch.

WIP branch rebased on 1.14 branch: https://github.com/serokell/linol/tree/heitor-lassarote/handle-server-requests-lsp-1.14

I hope to have it ready sometime by this week.
