"Sorry, this server doesn't do :textDocument/declaration" with nimlsp

[halloleo]

Trying out eglot with nimlsp (for Nim). Would be great to have an easy-to-use lsp client when hacking away Nim code. :)

When I am on a function call (of a function properly defined in the same file) I would like to jump to the declartion of the function. So I issue eglot-find-declaration.

However I then get the following error "Sorry, this server doesn't do :textDocument/declaration" - Why's that? And any ideas how I can fix this?

Thanks for any pointers!

PS: When I used lsp-mode with the same nimlsp it does do the jump to the declaration as expected.

I got the same error with jdtls (Eclipse Java language server) , while lsp-mode works as expected too.

Logs you attached to #836 show that your server doesn't say it a declationProvider, that's why you see the message.

Thank you so much!! As you mentioned at 842, I found that only the jar file can not jump as expected, the .java scene works well.

Thank you again!!

definition != declaration

This means the server said it had no support for the textDocument/declaration method in the initial exchange between the client and the server. If you want to fix this, you need to modify the server. More likely though, you can use find-definition, which more servers seem to support. The README has more info about this.

Thanks for the clarification between declaration and definition. Makes sense

Also, the ReadMe is really great now with all the use cases! :-)
