Unable to use self-closing tags in vue files in Helix Editor

[overbyte]

currently if i the do following in a JSX file in helix, I get a self closing tag, as expected:

however if i do the same thing in a .vue file i get the following result

My Helix languages.toml includes the following

[language-server.emmet-lsp]
command = "emmet-language-server"
args = ["--stdio"]

[[language]]
name = "vue"
language-servers = [ "vue-language-server", "emmet-lsp"]
formatter = { command = 'prettier', args = ["--parser", "vue"] }
auto-format = true

Can you tell me if I need to do anything to the Helix config to get the LSP to respond in the right way please?

Hey! The vue-language-server or volar already bundles emmet. So, you shouldn't use emmet-language-server and vue-language-server at the same time.

Having said that, and, answering your question, maybe you can report that in the volar repo. Check #25.

Hope it helps!

interesting - when i tried to use self/ without the emmet-lsp in the vue config, nothing happens.

thanks for the response

Maybe try triggering completion yourself, in my case is ctrl + space. If that shows you the snippet to expand self/ to <self /> it means that they didn't include / as a trigger char to show the completion. Or, I saw also last week that the emmet-helper package released a new version that included some stuff for vue (microsoft/vscode-emmet-helper#93) and maybe volar just doesn't have the last version.

I tried using the "code action" (space-a) but that didn't do it. With all the emmet tools i've used in the past, especially in modal editors like vim, nvim and helix, the tool is always triggered in INSERT mode so i suspected this might be the case but it's always worth checking.

Just found the autocomplete trigger in INSERT mode (ctrl-x) as well as ctrl-space (you sometimes never know :)
) but no joy there either

Hey @overbyte! just as a follow up, I saw that you've opened a issue in the helix repo, but in my opinion you're more likely to get a response if you open the issue in the volar repo. This is likely a problem with their language server and the emmet integration, I'm sure that I'll have the same problem if I were to test this in my neovim setup.

Aside from that, I'm going to close this for now since this isn't something related to this language server.
Hope that you'll get the help that you need.
Good luck!
