koozz / zed-vale

Zed extension using the Vale language server.

Automating stuff my whole life, professionally since 2001.

Got married, have two kids, enjoy gaming and watching TV.

The things I value online:

• Inclusivity in presentations, messaging and other communications.
• Good behavior on the Internet (netiquette).
• Open and direct communication BLUF (bottom line up front)-style.

zed-vale's Issues

Custom CLI binary path setting

I have a setup where my tooling is sandboxed in a way that may require providing a custom path to some of the binaries. In the case of vale, when I start the LSP I get this server log:

initialized!
configuration changed!
Vale CLI not installed!

I tried to specify the path to the CLI binary in both the binary and settings lsp Zed settings fields, but to no avail.

"lsp": {
  "vale": {
    "binary": {
      "path": "/<absolute-path-to-vale-dir>/bin/vale"
    },
    "settings": {
      "valeCLI": {
        "path": "/<absolute-path-to-vale-dir>/bin/vale"
      }
    }
  }
}

Do you think the extension would need to handle this in addition to the current setup?

Missing permission for vale-ls executable

On a fresh install, vale-ls was failing to start per Zed logs.
I had to manually add execution permission to the binary to fix it

chmod u+x "/Users/me/Library/Application Support/Zed/extensions/work/vale/vale-ls-v0.3.7/vale-ls"

vale server crashes

Thanks for writing this zed extension, I have also tried to do this myself but I did not quite succeed and you beat me to it 😅

But I seem to be getting some errors in the language server logs when hitting ⌘+. to fix the spelling issues.

Here the logs:

initialized!
configuration changed!
stderr: thread 'main' panicked at src/server.rs:318:61:
stderr: called `Option::unwrap()` on a `None` value
stderr: note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

Sadly it seems to be an issue with the vale language server itself. Have you also experienced this issue?

Advertise support for languages other than just Markdown

The extension.toml should ideally register the language server for all languages listed in https://vale.sh/docs/topics/scoping/#formats
