Vim / Neovim

AutoCompletion

For C++, anything that can use an LSP like coc.nvim, nvim-lspconfig, or what not, should work as long as you generate a compilation database and point to it.

Additionally, YouCompleteMe works without the need of a C++ compilation database as long as you have run ./mach build or ./mach configure. Configuration for this lives in .ycm_extra_conf at the root of the repo.

Rust auto-completion should work both with Rust’s LSP rust-analyzer.

Make sure that the LSP is configured in a way that it detects the root of the tree as a workspace, not the crate you happen to be editing. For example, the default of nvim-lspconfig is to search for the closest Cargo.toml file, which is not what you want. You’d want something like:

root_dir = lspconfig.util.root_pattern(".git", ".hg")

You also need to set some options to get full diagnostics:

"rust-analyzer.server.extraEnv": {
  "CARGO_TARGET_DIR": "/path/to/objdir"
},
"rust-analyzer.check.overrideCommand": [ "/path/to/mach", "--log-no-times", "cargo", "check", "--all-crates", "--message-format-json" ],
"rust-analyzer.cargo.buildScripts.overrideCommand": [ "/path/to/mach", "--log-no-times", "cargo", "check", "--all-crates", "--message-format-json" ],

The easiest way to make these work out of the box is using neoconf, which automatically supports importing VSCode configuration files. ./mach ide vscode --no-interactive will then generate the right configuration for you.

ESLint

The easiest way to integrate ESLint with VIM is using the Syntastic plugin.

In order for VIM to detect jsm files as JS you might want something like this in your .vimrc:

autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.jsm set filetype=javascript

mach eslint --setup installs a specific ESLint version and some ESLint plugins into the repositories’ node_modules.

You need something like this in your .vimrc to run the checker automatically on save:

autocmd FileType javascript,html,xhtml let b:syntastic_checkers = ['javascript/eslint']

You need to have eslint in your PATH, which you can get with npm install -g eslint. You need at least version 6.0.0.

You can also use something like eslint_d which should also do that automatically:

let g:syntastic_javascript_eslint_exec = 'eslint_d'
