Troubleshooting

If you are using cmp-nvim-lsp with cmp-nvim-tags, you may face a weird error method workspace/symbol is not supported by any of the servers registered for the current buffer.

This is because neovim will register tagfunc as vim.lsp.tagfunc when lsp is attached, and there's no attached lsps supports workspace/symbol method. To prevent this behavior, add the following code in your config file:

Besides, vim.lsp.tagfunc may also have performance issue since it is calling the lsp workspace/symbol method firstly and fallback to the default when the former one returns no result.

If you feel that use cmp-nvim-tags is laggy, then you can consider to set tagfunc to nil.

on_attach = function(bufnr, client)
    vim.bo.tagfunc = nil
end

-- sqls is an example lsp that does not support workspace/symbol
-- change sqls to the lsp where the error happens
require('lspconfig').sqls.setup {
    on_attach = on_attach
}
