You can add the following to your vim configuration if you are using lspconfig.

This is @jessfraz's setup.

if executable('kcl-language-server')
lua << EOF
local lspconfig = require 'lspconfig'
local configs = require 'lspconfig.configs'

if not configs.kcl_lsp then
  configs.kcl_lsp = {
    default_config = {
      cmd = {'kcl-language-server', 'server', '--stdio'},
      filetypes = {'kcl'},
      root_dir = lspconfig.util.root_pattern('.git'),
      single_file_support = true,
    },
    docs = {

The KittyCAD Language Server Protocol implementation for the KCL language.

To better detect kcl files, the following can be added:


    vim.cmd [[ autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.kcl set filetype=kcl ]]

]=],
      default_config = {
        root_dir = [[root_pattern(".git")]],
      },
    }
  }
end

lspconfig.kcl_lsp.setup{}

  echo "You might want to install kcl-language-server: https://github.com/KittyCAD/kcl-lsp/releases"
end

Add this to your languages.toml file. Remember to change /Users/adamchalmers to your path.

Note that we don't currently have Treesitter parsers, so there won't be syntax highlighting.

Development

$ npm install
$ cargo build
$ code .

Once VSCode opens, go to the "Run and Debug" panel (cmd-shift-D on MacOS), and choose Run Extension (Debug Build). This opens a new VSCode window with our KCL extension installed. Open a KCL file and check that the LSP is working.

• press F5 or change to the Debug panel and click Launch Client

If encountered errors like Cannot find module '/xxx/xxx/dist/extension.js' please try run command tsc -b manually
