setting it up in sublime text

[kurokirasama]

Hey, I'm trying to set this up in sublime text.
First I followed the instructions provided here to download and install the server.

Then, in sublime text with the lsp package installed, I use this setting:

"matlab": {
               "command": ["/path/to/lsp-matlab", "--stdio", "--matlabInstallPath '/usr/local/MATLAB/R2023a'"],
               "enabled": true,
               "selector": "source.matlab"
           }

where the lsp-matlab file has this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

node /home/user/software/MATLAB-language-server/out/index.js $@

Now, according to this log, the service starts but it crashes.

Can you see if I'm using the server wrong or something else is wrong?

Regards,

[dklilley]

Unfortunately, I am not able to provide much guidance for getting this set up in IDEs beyond VS Code. I would suggest that you convert this issue into a discussion, and then other Sublime Text users can contribute to the conversation.

One idea I have would be to modify the command you are specifying as such:

"command": ["/path/to/lsp-matlab", "--stdio", "--matlabInstallPath=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2023a"]

This is how the --matlabInstallPath option is specified within the VS Code extension.

[kurokirasama]

hey, thanks for your suggestion, unfortunately it didn't work.
How do I transform this into a "discussion"?

[dklilley]

It looks like I need to do that from my end, actually. I will do the conversion.

[kurokirasama]

reading other lsp plugins, I updated my config to this:

"matlab": {
               "command": ["/usr/bin/node", "/home/user/software/MATLAB-language-server/out/index.js","--stdio", "--matlabInstallPath=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2023a"],
               "enabled": true,
               "selector": "source.matlab"
           },

And this should do it, at least for sublime's side. Sadly, I got the same results. The odd thing is that the service starts, but for some reason it crashes...

[kurokirasama]

Thanks to the sublime forum, I was able to figure it out and I just put all together in this little REPO, with instructions on how to install the server.

@kurokirasama nice job getting MATLAB LSP to work in sublime editor!

It would be great if you make a pull request for updating our general repo so we make a link to your repo for sublime support. It would be similar to the note we put for Neovim.

[kurokirasama]

cool! no problem, but I have almost 0 experience doing a pr. If you could provide me the step-by-step it would be great

[nothans]

To start the process, I need to get a signed CLA. Can you contact me and I will get this started? Thanks!

[kurokirasama]

sure! do I send you an email?
