julia lsp exiting immediatly

[luiswirth]

Summary

The julia lsp does not work at all for me in helix.
Everytime I open up a file, it immediatly exits.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

1. hx main.jl in julia project with LanguageServer.jl installed.

I expected this to happen:
Julia lsp working

Instead, this happened:
Julia lsp exited.

maybe i'm just confused about the way I need to activate the julia environment

[the-mikedavis]

The err <- lines in the log are what julia is printing to stderr when run. You should see the same when running the command for that language server: julia --startup-file=no --history-file=no --quiet -e "using LanguageServer; runserver()". It looks like you may need to install the language server's package

[luiswirth]

Okay, this just helped me, partially solve it. I now installed the LanguageServer.jl globally instead of only locally for my project. now the lsp works 🥳 .
But I'm not sure if this is what I want... Does this pickup the packages I installed locally for a project (using environments)?
