question: output location of L refs

[mpl]

At the moment the output of "L refs" appears in the terminal where I've started acme-lsp. I would expect it to be somewhere in acme, so I can interact with it directly (maybe in /LSP/Diagnostics ?), or maybe even directly sent to the plumber.
Am I missing something, or did I misconfigure something? or is it behaving as expected?

This is the expected behavior. The communication between L and acme-lsp is uni-directional: L asks acme-lsp (using plumber) to show the references to an identifier at a position in a window but acme-lsp can't send the answer back to L. So, acme-lsp just prints the answer to stdout.

I usually run acme-lsp from within acme, so all its output ends up in the +Errors window. You can also run it outside acme but with the same effect like this:

acme-lsp [args] 2>&1 | 9p write acme/cons

I know this is not ideal (and confusing), but it's the result of doing RPC using plumber. I'm still thinking if we should implement a 9P file server (or some other RPC mechanism) for a bi-direction communication between L and acme-lsp. We may need it to support more advanced LSP features.

yeah I was wondering if I was supposed to simply run acme-lsp from acme directly.
Makes sense, thanks.
