Language Server

How to run the Language Server for Development

By default the language server will stop if no connection is made within 10 seconds and will also stop after a client disconnects. Adding --debug=stdout will log messages to the console

> bundle exec ruby ./puppet-languageserver --debug=stdout

How to run the Language Server in Production

Ensure that Puppet Agent is installed

Linux

Windows

MacOSX

Run the puppet-languageserver with ruby

On Windows you need to run ruby with the Puppet Command Prompt which can be found in the Start Menu. This enables the Puppet Agent ruby environment.

> ruby puppet-languageserver
LANGUAGE SERVER RUNNING 127.0.0.1:55086

Note the language server will stop after 10 seconds if no client connection is made.

Note that the Language Server will use TCP as the default transport on localhost at a random port. The IP Address and Port can be changed using the --ip and --port arguments respectively. For example to listen on all interfaces on port 9000;

> ruby ./puppet-languageserver --ip=0.0.0.0 --port=9000

To change the protocol to STDIO, that is using STDOUT and STDIN, use the --stdio argument.

Command line arguments

Usage: puppet-languageserver.rb [options]
    -p, --port=PORT                  TCP Port to listen on.  Default is random port
    -i, --ip=ADDRESS                 IP Address to listen on (0.0.0.0 for all interfaces).  Default is localhost
    -c, --no-stop                    Do not stop the language server once a client disconnects.  Default is to stop
    -t, --timeout=TIMEOUT            Stop the language server if a client does not connection within TIMEOUT seconds.  A value of zero will not timeout.  Default is 10 seconds
    -d, --no-preload                 ** DEPRECATED ** Do not preload Puppet information when the language server starts.  Default is to preload
        --debug=DEBUG                Output debug information.  Either specify a filename or 'STDOUT'.  Default is no debug output
    -s, --slow-start                 Delay starting the Language Server until Puppet initialisation has completed.  Default is to start fast
        --stdio                      Runs the server in stdio mode, without a TCP listener
        --enable-file-cache          ** DEPRECATED ** Enables the file system cache for Puppet Objects (types, class etc.)
        --[no-]cache                 Enable or disable all caching inside the sidecar. By default caching is enabled.
        --feature-flags=FLAGS        A list of comma delimited feature flags
        --puppet-settings=TEXT       Comma delimited list of settings to pass into Puppet e.g. --vardir,/opt/test-fixture
        --local-workspace=PATH       The workspace or file path that will be used to provide module-specific functionality. Default is no workspace path.
    -h, --help                       Prints this help
    -v, --version                    Prints the Langauge Server version

Language Server Sidecar

How to run the Language Server for Development

The Language Server Sidecar is a process used by the Language Server to get information about Puppet's environment, for example, all available functions, classes, and custom types. This tool is typically only run by the Language Server itself, but it can be used to diagnose issues.

The sidecar is told to perform an action (using the action) parameter and then, by default, outputs the JSON encoded result to STDOUT. This can be changed to a text file using the --output=PATH argument.

Note that using the --debug=STDOUT option without directing the output to a text file will generate output on STDOUT which cannot be deserialized correctly. Typically this only used by a developer to inspect what the Sidecar is doing.

Example usage

Confirm that the Sidecar loads correctly

The noop action just outputs an empty JSON array but can be used to confirm that the Sidecar does not error while loading Puppet.

> bundle exec ruby ./puppet-languageserver-sidecar --action=noop
[]

Output all default Puppet Types

> bundle exec ruby ./puppet-languageserver-sidecar --action=default_types
[{"key":"anchor","calling_source":"puppet/cache/lib/puppet/type/anchor.rb","sou ...

Output all default Puppet Functions with a different puppet configuration, and debug information

> bundle exec ruby ./puppet-languageserver-sidecar --action=default_types --puppet-settings=--vardir,./test/vardir,--confdir,./test/confdir --debug=STDOUT
I, [2018-12-05T15:42:56.679837 #51864]  INFO -- : Language Server Sidecar is v0.16.0

Command line arguments

Usage: puppet-languageserver-sidecar.rb [options]

    -f, --feature-flags=FLAGS        A list of comma delimited feature flags to pass the the sidecar
    -n, --[no-]cache                 Enable or disable all caching inside the sidecar. By default caching is enabled.
        --debug=DEBUG                Output debug information.  Either specify a filename or 'STDOUT'. Default is no debug output
    -h, --help                       Prints this help
    -v, --version                    Prints the Langauge Server version

Debug Server

How to run the Debug Server for Development

Other information

Why are there vendored gems and why only native ruby

When used by editors this language server will be running using the Ruby runtime provided by Puppet Agent. That means no native extensions and no bundler. Also, only the gems provided by Puppet Agent would be available by default. To work around this limitation all runtime dependencies should be re-vendored and then the load path modified appropriately.
