What it is

LanguageClient-neovim is a Rust-based Language Server Protocol (LSP) client plugin that brings IDE-like features (completion, diagnostics, rename, goto definition, formatting) to Vim and Neovim by communicating with external language servers. It works asynchronously to avoid blocking the editor and integrates with completion frameworks like deoplete, ncm2, and MUcomplete. This repository is no longer actively maintained and users are advised to migrate to Neovim's native LSP client. Dual-language architecture: Rust backend (src/ with config, extensions for clangd/gopls/rust_analyzer/java, core language_client.rs, RPC handler, LSP protocol bridge) compiled to a binary, plus Vim Script…

Start here

Read these in order:

  • src/language_client.rs — Foundation: doesn't import anything internally and is imported by 6 other files. Read first to learn the vocabulary.
  • src/extensions/clangd.rs — Foundation: imported by 2, no internal dependencies of its own.
  • src/extensions/java.rs — Built on the foundation; imported by 2 downstream files.
  • src/extensions/gopls.rs — Built on the foundation; imported by 1 downstream file.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone from GitHub: git clone https://github.com/autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim.git. Build the Rust binary via Cargo (Cargo.toml present): cargo build --release. Installation via vim-plug (documented in README) uses…

Daily commands:

For development: cargo build creates debug binary. Check Makefile for targets (path: Makefile). Install plugin via vim-plug hook (runs bash install.sh). Test in Neovim with min-vimrc.vim as minimal config. Run wit…

Key cautions & unknowns

  • Slowing — last commit 11mo ago
  • Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 60% of recent commits
  • Scorecard: default branch unprotected (0/10)
    1. Plugin requires Neovim RPC bridge: The Rust binary is loaded as a remote plugin; Neovim must have Python3 provider enabled and rplugin host running. 2. Language server not bundled: LanguageClient does not…
  • Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
