Ability to exclude paths from `lsp_goto_diagnostic`

[ssoher]

When I invoke lsp_goto_diagnostic I want to see diagnostics of my own code only, but currently it also shows all the diagnostics from external libraries within the project.

It seems folder_exclude_patterns in the sublime-project doesn't effect this feature either.

I want to be able to exclude a bunch of paths from diagnostics checking and listing.

[jwortmann]

I made a PR #2113 to ignore diagnostics for files within folder_exclude_patterns.

There is no general functionality to configure other files or folders where diagnostics should be ignored, but I know that some language servers have a custom setting for that (e.g. Julia server).

Does supporting folder_exclude_patterns covers your use case @ssoher.
I don't feel like we'd want to add more options for controlling this so if you are good with just using folder_exclude_patterns then we could close this feature request.

[ssoher]

@rchl I'm afraid it does not. Ideally I should still be able to see the references, go to definitions, see auto completions, etc. etc. of all the external libraries. If I exclude the folders at project level I'll lose all that ability afaik. It's just that I don't care about the diagnostics in external code. I would love if there was a general setting to at least filter out parts of a project from diagnostics listing (if not checking as well).

Would it be easier or make more sense to implement on the specific server (omnisharp), should I close this and create a new issue there?

[rchl]

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think folder_exclude_patterns would suppress any of the functionality you've mentioned. It should still be possible for LSP to open ignored files if "goto definitinon" references it, for example.

But having an option in the server for ignoring diagnostics in non-user code sounds good to me. Maybe (hopefully) the server has more knowledge to be able to tell whether something is "user code" or not. Though I imagine it could be tricky, depending on the language.

I wanted to confirm this, cloned the LSP repo into the packages folder and installed dependencies, restarted ST. LSP works alright but I still get the diagnostics from an excluded folder. Below is my sublime-project file.

{
    "folders":
    [
        {
            "path": ".",
            "folder_exclude_patterns": [".svn", "Library", "Logs", "obj", "Temp"],
            "file_include_patterns": ["*.cs", "*.md", "*.sublime-project", "*.sublime-workspace", "*.txt", "*.shader", "*.bat", "*.csproj", "*.sln"]
        }
    ],
}

The listed folders are excluded from the side bar and the GoTo actions so the folder_exlude_patterns work correctly. But when I invoke lsp_goto_diagnostic still all the diagnostics from an example path Library\PackageCache\com.unity.textmeshpro\... is shown. What am I doing wrong? (using LSP with LSP-omnisharp btw)

[rchl]

Works for me. Can you provide output of LSP: Troubleshoot server when that ignored file is opened?

[rchl]

Thanks.
There was an issue with handling relative project paths in project file.
Fixing in #2142

[ssoher]

Thank you, I've applied the changes in the commit #2142 but I'm still getting the same diagnostics listed. Did I change the correct source file at "C:\Users\sarper\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text\Packages\LSP\plugin\core\windows.py"?

[rchl]

Yes, that should be the correct file. But you could try just checking out the PR branch since it's in the same repo.

I've also added some debug prints to that branch so you can try with that and post the results you get in the ST console.

[ssoher]

This is what I get when I open the should-be-ignored file.

URI file:///e:/project/breakout/Library/PackageCache/com.unity.textmeshpro%403.0.6/Scripts/Editor/TMPro_FontAssetCreatorWindow.cs
PATTERNS ['**/.svn/**', '**/.git/**', '**/.hg/**', '**/CVS/**', '**/.Trash/**', '**/.Trash-*/**', '**/E:\\project\\breakout/.svn/**', '**/E:\\project\\breakout/**/.svn/**', '**/E:\\project\\breakout/Library/**', '**/E:\\project\\breakout/**/Library/**', '**/E:\\project\\breakout/Logs/**', '**/E:\\project\\breakout/**/Logs/**', '**/E:\\project\\breakout/obj/**', '**/E:\\project\\breakout/**/obj/**', '**/E:\\project\\breakout/Temp/**', '**/E:\\project\\breakout/**/Temp/**']

[ssoher]

And this is the actual path in the os filesystem
"E:\project\breakout\Library\PackageCache\com.unity.textmeshpro@3.0.6\Scripts\Editor\TMPro_FontAssetCreatorWindow.cs"

[rchl]

Right. Then this needs more work to get it right on Windows.

[rchl]

I think the latest commit might work.

EDIT: Or maybe not. There might still be an extra leading / in the pattern that would mess things up...
Please post the result if you can though.
