Lapce Julia (LanguageServer)

Lapce plugin for the Julia language powered by LanguageServer.jl

Pre-requisites

• Make sure you have the julia binary on PATH. This might not be the case if you installed julia using juliaup.

• Make sure you have LanguageServer.jl installed in the main environment. You can install LanguageServer.jl using:

]add LanguageServer

in a Julia REPL.

Passing custom julia executable path

In case you don't have julia on PATH, or your binary is named differently, as in the case of when its installed by juliaup (where its called julialauncher), you can still point to it in: Settings > Plugins > Julia (LanguageServer.jl)

Finding julia in case of flatpak

In case you have installed Lapce via Flathub, which you can check from the distro's Store itself or by running flatpak info dev.lapce.lapce, there could be a few issues running running julia. Depending on how you've installed julia, here's a few ways to make it work.

• If you've installed it in some folder in your home directory, you can just paste the path to Lapce using the method discussed in the previous section
• If you've installed julia using your package manager, or using juliaup, follow the below procedure

Make and edit a file with the following contents:

#!/usr/bin/env sh

flatpak-spawn --host julia "$@"
EOF

(Replace julia with julialauncher if you installed julia using juliaup)

Then make it executable by running chmod +x /path/to/file

Then in Lapce, in plugin's setting, point to the file in the custom julia executable path (discussed in the above section)
