Manually specify gopls path

[jonleopard]

I'm using nvim-lspinstall to manage all my lsp installations. Is it possible to tell go.nvim where the path to this binary is?

Here's an example of what I was doing before:

DATA_PATH = vim.fn.stdpath "data"
require('lspconfig').gopls.setup{
    cmd = { DATA_PATH .. "/lspinstall/go/gopls" },
    settings = {
      gopls = {
        analyses = {
          unusedparams = true,
        },
        staticcheck = true,
      },
    },
}

Hi, @jonleopard
I added gopls_cmd in config
Could you check if the latest version works for you?

[jonleopard]

Seems to be working now! I've added gopls_cmd = {DATA_PATH .. "/lspinstall/go/gopls"} to my config. When I run lspinfo it seems that two clients are attached, which confuses me:

It looks like its adding two paths for some reason:
...lspinstall/go/./gopls
...lspinstall/go/gopls

Additionally, when I save the file and it formats, it prompts me for which lsp server to use:

Ah, I fixed it! There was something wrong in my config. One last quick question: when I save a buffer, it formats but doesn't import missing packages. Is this default setting or do I need to enable it somehow?

If you want both import and format. You can use either Goimport, which is defined as:

  vim.cmd([[command! Goimport lua require("go.format").goimport()]])

Or add:

autocmd BufWritePre *.go :silent! lua require('go.format').goimport()

Works like a charm, thanks! It seems Lua doesn't have a autocommand support yet. So if anyone reading this wants this autocmd BufWritePre *.go :silent! lua require('go.format').goimport() to work in lua, you can do so like this:

-- Format on save
vim.api.nvim_exec([[ autocmd BufWritePre *.go :silent! lua require('go.format').gofmt() ]], false)

-- Import on save
vim.api.nvim_exec([[ autocmd BufWritePre *.go :silent! lua require('go.format').goimport() ]], false)

Thanks again for your help!

Thanks!
I will put your codes in README.md as well
