Language Server Protocol (LSP) provides developers with an open protocol for programming language support in integrated development environments (IDE) and source code editors. LSP allows that support to be created and distributed outside any specific type of IDE or editor. The Language Server Protocol is used between an editing tool (client) and the language support provider (server) to integrate various types of useful features. Some common feature examples integrated through LSP are tooltips, code completion, find-references, and jump-to-definitions. Having a separate language server for LSP allows other communities that specialize in client or editor development to concentrate on delivering better extensions or plugins.
I added a custom python library using python file and imported it in the robot framework. It is working fine and test case passes. But custom keyword inside robot framework are not shown as python file on hovering, it is not recognized in the robot.
While language servers can be configured by the user using a simple JSON or Python configuration file,it is preferable to provide users with an option that does not require manual configuration. The language server specifications (specs)wrap the configuration (as would be defined by the user) into a Python class or function that can be either:
The recent report by the ACM Job Migration Task Force points to the immediate need to teach "programming-in-the-large", the skills to work with and develop large and complex production-grade software and systems, so young computing professionals can stay competitive in the face of IT globalization and offshoring of software [4, 13]. However, current computer science curricula are inadequate to prepare college graduates to meet the reality of computing. Most course projects fall into the "programming-in-the-small" mode, in which students implement small, isolated projects to explore the course subject matter and with little emphasis on how the smaller pieces can be integrated to build sophisticated larger scale systems.This paper presents a modern IDE-based approach to address this inadequacy. We develop RobotStudio --- an extensible framework for building IDEs targeting a simple yet versatile educational robot platform. Student projects are implemented as plugin modules of RobotStudio and, when put together, they form a comprehensive IDE for programming the robotic environment.This paper describes the architecture of the RobotStudio framework, its extension mechanisms, and the teaching practice of using RobotStudio in an introductory compiler construction class to illustrate "programming-in-the-large" principles.
