lsp

Haskell library for the Microsoft Language Server Protocol. It currently implements all of the 3.15 specification.

It is split into three separate packages, lsp, lsp-types, and lsp-test:

Language servers built on lsp

Example language servers

There are two example language servers in the lsp/example/ folder. Simple.hs provides a minimal example:

{-# LANGUAGE DuplicateRecordFields #-}
{-# LANGUAGE LambdaCase #-}
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

import Control.Monad.IO.Class
import Data.Text qualified as T
import Language.LSP.Protocol.Message
import Language.LSP.Protocol.Types
import Language.LSP.Server

handlers :: Handlers (LspM ())
handlers =
  mconcat
    [ notificationHandler SMethod_Initialized $ \_not -> do
        let params =
              ShowMessageRequestParams
                MessageType_Info
                "Turn on code lenses?"
                (Just [MessageActionItem "Turn on", MessageActionItem "Don't"])
        _ <- sendRequest SMethod_WindowShowMessageRequest params $ \case
          Right (InL (MessageActionItem "Turn on")) -> do
            let regOpts = CodeLensRegistrationOptions (InR Null) Nothing (Just False)

            _ <- registerCapability mempty SMethod_TextDocumentCodeLens regOpts $ \_req responder -> do
              let cmd = Command "Say hello" "lsp-hello-command" Nothing
                  rsp = [CodeLens (mkRange 0 0 0 100) (Just cmd) Nothing]
              responder $ Right $ InL rsp
            pure ()
          Right _ ->
            sendNotification SMethod_WindowShowMessage (ShowMessageParams MessageType_Info "Not turning on code lenses")
          Left err ->
            sendNotification SMethod_WindowShowMessage (ShowMessageParams MessageType_Error $ "Something went wrong!\n" <> T.pack (show err))
        pure ()
    , requestHandler SMethod_TextDocumentHover $ \req responder -> do
        let TRequestMessage _ _ _ (HoverParams _doc pos _workDone) = req
            Position _l _c' = pos
            rsp = Hover (InL ms) (Just range)
            ms = mkMarkdown "Hello world"
            range = Range pos pos
        responder (Right $ InL rsp)
    ]

main :: IO Int
main =
  runServer $
    ServerDefinition
      { parseConfig = const $ const $ Right ()
      , onConfigChange = const $ pure ()
      , defaultConfig = ()
      , configSection = "demo"
      , doInitialize = \env _req -> pure $ Right env
      , staticHandlers = \_caps -> handlers
      , interpretHandler = \env -> Iso (runLspT env) liftIO
      , options = defaultOptions
      }

Whilst Reactor.hs shows how a reactor design can be used to handle all requests on a separate thread, such in a way that we could then execute them on multiple threads without blocking server communication. They can be installed from source with

cabal install lsp-demo-simple-server lsp-demo-reactor-server
stack install :lsp-demo-simple-server :lsp-demo-reactor-server --flag haskell-lsp:demo

Examples of using lsp-test

Setting up a session

import Language.LSP.Test
main = runSession "hie" fullCaps "proj/dir" $ do
  doc <- openDoc "Foo.hs" "haskell"
  skipMany anyNotification
  symbols <- getDocumentSymbols doc

Unit tests with HSpec

describe "diagnostics" $
  it "report errors" $ runSession "hie" fullCaps "test/data" $ do
    openDoc "Error.hs" "haskell"
    [diag] <- waitForDiagnosticsSource "ghcmod"
    liftIO $ do
      diag ^. severity `shouldBe` Just DsError
      diag ^. source `shouldBe` Just "ghcmod"

Replaying captured session

replaySession "hie" "test/data/renamePass"

Parsing with combinators

skipManyTill loggingNotification publishDiagnosticsNotification
count 4 (message :: Session ApplyWorkspaceEditRequest)
anyRequest <|> anyResponse

Try out the example tests in the lsp-test/example directory with cabal test. For more examples check the Wiki, or see this introductory blog post.

Whilst writing your tests you may want to debug them to see what's going wrong. You can set the logMessages and logStdErr options in SessionConfig to see what the server is up to. There are also corresponding environment variables so you can turn them on from the command line:

LSP_TEST_LOG_MESSAGES=1 LSP_TEST_LOG_STDERR=1 cabal test

Troubleshooting

Seeing funny stuff when running lsp-test via stack? If your server is built upon Haskell tooling, keep in mind that stack sets some environment variables related to GHC, and you may want to unset them.
