I have the same Issue. Downloaded zed for the first time today and could not get this working.

[chris-plato]

I believe I also have the same issue:

Screen.Recording.2024-02-01.at.4.55.43.PM.mov

My expectation being that . is sufficient to populate the list of predictions.

Hey all, are any of you seeing any errors in the status bar (at the bottom) related to language servers not installing? Do you see any status messages at all when opening these files?

[davemaier]

This is what I see in the status bar every time I start zed. If I open a file in another language I see the exactly same thing with the language server of the other language.

I also see some update checks and downloading of language server but seems to be successful

[tngan]

I have found a workaround to get rids of this. I found the language server is not installed properly under the languages folder.

1. Quit zed application
2. Remove the typescript-language-server under ~Library/Application Support/Zed/languages
3. Install manually by git clone https://github.com/typescript-language-server/typescript-language-server.git and run npm install
4. Re-open zed

then you can use the autocomplete, but it is still rather slow.

[davemaier]

I just noticed that I had a packages.json file in my home directory and that zed had installed the lsp into the home directory. Removing the package.json (and node_modules and package-lock.json). And then restarting zed fixed the problem for me.

For those watching this issue, v0.122.1 seems to have fixed this in my projects

Same for me. Working with the latest update 🙌🏻

[chris-plato]

Is this considered a different issue?:

It has been months and yet this still does not work properly in Zed 0.140.5

[Bishwas-py]

For elixir, auto complete suddenly stops working. Zed dev 0.142.0, fedora

Not sure what to do here, I started to create a new issue by the same name, because the title for this well describes my issue; however then I read:

Check the backlog of issues to reduce the chances of creating duplicates; if an issue already exists, place a +1 (👍) on it.

This leads me to think I should just drop yet another comment on this issue.

I have recently gotten a new macbook, and this problem still plagues me:
#7198 (comment)

If you decide what to work on by number of 👍 emojis, atm my comment has 5 thumbs up, whereas the original report only has 4, and that's including mine...

I keep trying Zed, hoping to adopt it as my main editor, but stuff like this is too disruptive to ignore.

Please let me know if I should create a whole new issue for this, or if this is sufficient 🙇

This isn't working in the latest version using C#.

I am experiencing the same issue with the Typescript LSP. However, this only seems to happen when typing either a single character or very quickly. On hover you get the info, though.
This behaviour is consistent throughout any project using Typescript (Next.js, Svelte Kit, Node). Tested on MacOS and Linux with 4 different machines.

LSP: Typescript
OS: MacOS 14.6.1 M1 and Linux Fedora 40
Version: Zed Preview 0.148

[SharafatKarim]

Using zed 0.149.5 on Arch Linux, and not working at all. Even auto complete in it's own setting isn't working.

[afonsomatos]

I don't have autocomplete either, and using Typescript.

[branila]

I have the exact same issue with the latest version of zed on arch linux

[rxnma]

Same here when using Typescript. [OS: MacOS 14.6.1 M1, Zed: 0.149.5 ]

[finnar-bin]

Just experienced a similar issue with typescript as well. Over time the lsp seems to gradually bog down and eventually just stopping to provide autocompletions and other functionality. Had to manually restart the lsp and it seem to have resolved the issue. I'll keep an eye out if it starts to slow down again.

Edit: I just noticed that this issue only seems to happen on relatively big projects. I tried working on my small personal react-native project and I haven't encountered any of the problems I mentioned above.

OS: PopOS 22.04
Zed: 0.149.5

[hermann-p]

Same here, not autocomplete, no eslint, no prettier. Is there a way to show zed's logs/errors?

NixOS 24.05
Zed 0.149.6

NixOS 24.05 Zed 0.149.6

Ok, I'll take it back. Zed does simply not pick up existing language servers from $PATH, so on nix you have to use a workaround and launch it from an FHS-environment so it will install its own lsp-servers.

[LeilaVerbeeck]

Autocomplete also doesn't work for me

Edit: When I check the LSP logs, I can see for example the tailwind lsp start up properly but the phpactor server logs are empty.

OS: Fedora 40
Zed 0.150.4

Can you please tell me how to do so? So that I can try myself.
