説明
Plugins have a surprisingly large amount of flexibility when the surrounding environment is considered. Unfortunately, most of the environment is undocumented, which means there's a good chance plugin developers don't know how much their plugin can really do.
Currently, printing out package.path and package.cpath gives these directories
package.path
# directories provided by the extension
$LSP/script/?.lua
$LSP/script/?/init.lua
# access to the plugin's directory
$PLUGIN/?.lua
package.cpath
$LSP/bin/?.dll
where:
$LSPis the path to this project's folder, and$PLUGINis a path to the plugin's current directory.~/project/config/plugin.luawould make$PLUGINpoint to~/project/config
Along with giving plugins the ability to have sub-modules, the LSP has some very useful utilities in its script folder like:
vmfor inspecting types (or so it seems)parser.compilefor getting an ASTinspectwhich looks like kikito/inspect.luaconfigfor reading LSP settings likeLua.runtime.version
I don't work with Visual Studio enough to understand the DLLs in
$LSP/bin, or at least not enough to work with them in Lua.
... has some useful information too.
local inspect = require("inspect")
print(inspect({ ... }))
--[[-->
{
<function 1>, -- this plugin loaded as a chunk using `load()`
"file:///$WORKSPACE_FOLDER", -- a URI pointing to the workspace folder
{} -- arguments provided by the setting `Lua.runtime.pluginArgs`
}
]]
I think this information is useful enough to be documented in the wiki. I can contribute to it if need be.
It would be even more useful and accessible if there was a meta-addon that adds the $LSP/script directory to Lua.workspace.library or a boolean option that adds the directory internally. I can try to contribute to that as well.
I understand that $LSP/script may be updated often for bugfixes and other things. If this is the case, I think it would at least be useful to provide a directory for plugin utilities.
I'm not sure about what to do when the VS Code extension gets updated since it changes directory. Maybe, more generally, the LSP can warn you about missing libraries.
Also, if
$LSP/scriptupdates too frequently to be mentioned in the wiki, I think the meta-addon route would be more fruitful.

調査の方向性
まず、issue に記載されている plugin 環境の詳細(package.path、package.cpath、$LSP/script ユーティリティ、.... を介して渡される plugin 引数など)を確認します。どの動作が wiki にドキュメント化できる程度に安定しているかを確認し、DLL や meta-addon の推測的な変更に依存せずに、plugin 作成者が環境と利用可能なユーティリティを明確に把握できるようにします。
