Symbol server never responds?

[NightMachinery]

It gets stuck for me on

julia --startup-file=no  --project=/Users/evar/.emacs.d.doom/.local/straight/build/eglot-jl/ /Users/evar/.emacs.d.doom/.local/straight/build/eglot-jl/eglot-jl.jl
┌ Info: Running language server
│   env = "/Users/evar/.emacs.d.doom/.local/straight/build/eglot-jl/Project.toml"
│   src_path = "/Users/evar/Base/_Code/uni/stochastic"
│   project_path = "/Users/evar/.julia/environments/v1.4"
└   depot_path = ""

I have tried without --startup-file=no, too, same result. It's been for more than an hour.

Could you post what you see in M-x eglot-events-buffer when running eglot on the intended file (with eglot-connect-timeout set to 300 or so)? It may be that the logging from the SymbolServer doesn't work quite how I expect. How many packages do you have installed in your v1.4 environment?

[NightMachinery]

@non-Jedi I don't think that's the case, as I saw the timeout message in emacs, too (I had set the timeout to 600 seconds.) But here it is: https://gist.github.com/non-Jedi/56d3949224a7e1100a56dfdd4836570c

That event log shows that the language server is working as expected albeit possibly without having the symbols ready for packages installed in the v1.4 environment. How many packages do you have installed in your default v1.4 environment? And is there eglot functionality that isn't working that you expect to work?

My best guess is that the symbol server is still indexing packages which can literally take hours; you can watch this process by looking at /Users/evar/.julia/packages/SymbolServer/vTGsB/store which the symbol server should slowly populate with files with the .jstore extension.

If julia-vscode/LanguageServer.jl#707 gets merged, then we could have a sense of the package indexing progress by looking at eglot's event buffer.

Hi @NightMachinary, feel free to reopen if eglot isn't providing some functionality that you expect, but right now this just looks like the symbol server taking a long time to finish caching. If you're still having issues, the questions I asked above are a good place to start investigating.

I'm happy to say that things are working just fine for me now.
