MethodError: no method matching Union{Int64, String}(::String)

[gdkrmr]

I think this fails because "initializationOptions": null,. LanguageServer.jl should be able to handle this, the protocol specification says:

interface InitializeParams extends WorkDoneProgressParams {

...

        /**
	 * User provided initialization options.
	 */
	initializationOptions?: any;

...

}

I have done some digging and it comes down to the following:

julia> LanguageServer.ProgressToken("1")

ProgressToken is an alias for Union{Int, String} and has no constructor.

[jipolanco]

I have the same issue on neovim.

A possible fix, which seems to work for me, is to modify the InitializeParams constructor, replacing ProgressToken(dict["workDoneToken"]) with convert(ProgressToken, dict["workDoneToken"]). But I agree, a better solution would be to define a ProgressToken constructor that does this.

I can confirm that this seems to work for me as well, using neovim.

[ordicker]

I have a navie question about this problem.
How come this problem isn't present in vscode but happened in all (I think) other editors?

[gdkrmr]

Good question 👍 IMO the problem lies somewhere in the communication between lsp-mode and the language server process. lsp-mode must do something differently than julia-vscode but I have no idea what and don't want to invest the time in learning how to debug both lsp-mode and julia-vscode.

[ordicker]

If that was the case (lsp-mode only) I would suspect that the problem is at lsp-mode, but It happened also with neovim so I don't know.

I would love to help, but I'm not sure how.

[hexaeder]

EDIT: Nevermind, I've missinterpreted the Release notes, seems like the fix is not actually released in 3.2.0.

Unfortunately, the problem is still present for me on 3.2.0. I'm using lsp-julia as part of the Julia layer for spacemacs. I've tried with the shipped LSP as well as with the manual installed package in the standard environment.

This log is from julia-ls:stderr buffer. The refered LanguageServer package is up to date:

[XaydBayeck]

@hexaeder You can change to 3.2.1-DEV by this way temporarily.

el .julia/packages/LanguageServer

drwxr-xr-x - sid 20 10月 14:18 y1ebo
drwxr-xr-x - sid 18 9月  10:48 y1ebo.back

copy the LPqF6 to cover y1ebo

But I'm not sure it's usafull for you, maybe you need to check the source in LPqF6 first.

[Gijs-Koot]

I am using lsp-julia on emacs, I had this same problem. I solved this for now by installing the master branch directly with
