Prolog Language server

Still a work-in-progress – please open an issue if you have any issues or feature requests!.

Currently supports showing documentation on hover, go to definition, go to callers, listing defined symbols in the file, and showing a limited number of diagnostics.

Only tested with SWI-Prolog, as it heavily uses its introspection facilities to do its stuff. It should work with any relatively-recent version of SWI-Prolog, but for best results (for “find references” in particular), use a version with xref_called/5 (8.1.5 or newer; past commit 303f6430de5c).

Installable as a pack like ?- pack_install(lsp_server).

Emacs

lsp-mode:

(lsp-register-client
  (make-lsp-client
   :new-connection
   (lsp-stdio-connection (list "swipl"
                               "-g" "use_module(library(lsp_server))."
                               "-g" "lsp_server:main"
                               "-t" "halt"
                               "--" "stdio"))
   :major-modes '(prolog-mode)
   :priority 1
   :multi-root t
   :server-id 'prolog-ls))

Vim/Neovim

LanguageClient:

let g:LanguageClient_serverCommands = {
\ 'prolog': ['swipl',
\            '-g', 'use_module(library(lsp_server)).',
\            '-g', 'lsp_server:main',
\            '-t', 'halt',
\            '--', 'stdio']
\ }

Neovim

CoC

Put the following in coc-settings.json (which you can access by using the command :CocConfig).

{"languageserver": {
  "prolog-lsp": {
    "command": "swipl",
    "args": ["-g", "use_module(library(lsp_server)).",
             "-g", "lsp_server:main",
             "-t", "halt",
             "--", "stdio"
            ],
    "filetypes": ["prolog"]
  }}
}

Native LSP (for Neovim >= 0.5)

Install the neovim/nvim-lspconfig package

Put the following in $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/nvim/lua/lspconfig/prolog_lsp.lua:

local configs = require 'lspconfig/configs'
local util = require 'lspconfig/util'

configs.prolog_lsp = {
  default_config = {
    cmd = {"swipl",
           "-g", "use_module(library(lsp_server)).",
           "-g", "lsp_server:main",
           "-t", "halt",
           "--", "stdio"};
    filetypes = {"prolog"};
    root_dir = util.root_pattern("pack.pl");
  };
  docs = {
     description = [[
  https://github.com/jamesnvc/prolog_lsp

  Prolog Language Server
  ]];
  }
}
-- vim:et ts=2 sw=2

Then add the following to init.vim:

lua << EOF
require('lspconfig/prolog_lsp')
require('lspconfig').prolog_lsp.setup{}
EOF
