Issue with Language Server Installation - startup

[Brian Bezanson]

I followed the instructions here: Bare Bones Software | Language Server Protocol Support in BBEdit and installed via npm the vscode-json-languageserver.

In my terminal I can type `vscode-json-languageserver` and it executes - wants an additional command - but the point is that it is in my $PATH and can be executed.

However, when I run BBEdit 15.0.3 and look at the log, I see

================================================================================
2024-05-08 13:22:28.828: Application startup: 15.0.3 (15A102)
2024-05-08 13:22:28.828: macOS version 14.4.1 (23E224)
2024-05-08 13:22:28.828: A language server was configured, but the server executable (vscode-json-languageserver) was not found.

This is on my work MacBook Pro.

I just tried the same steps on my personal MacBook Pro with the same OS but BBEdit 15.1 (15B13) beta and I see nice green circles for the language servers I installed.

I can’t install the beta on my work machine — corporate restrictions.

Any suggestions — I ended up using Visual Studio Code to format the JSON file but I would rather use BBEdit. It has the same language server built-in/installed.

This sounds like an incorrect $PATH: <https://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/lsp-notes.html#trouble>.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.

Thanks Rich. I guess I didn’t go in-depth reading the notes. I saw that and skipped it. I moved sourcing my .bashrc (which defines all the paths) to the other zsh file and things are working now. 

Thanks,

Brian
