Description

How are you using the lua-language-server?

NeoVim

Which OS are you using?

Windows

What is the issue affecting?

Other

Expected Behaviour

No terminal pop-up.

Actual Behaviour

When I access file or :wq save and exit .lua file, terminal(not in neovim) will pop-up.

Reproduction steps

1.install mason in neovim
2.add lsp lua_ls
3.open or close lua file

Additional Notes

Client lua_ls quit with exit code 1 and signal 0. Check log for errors: C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\nvim-data/lsp.log

my username is non-ASCII, and the log shows that it can't identify my username.

Log File

Research direction

Start with the reported Windows reproduction using Mason's lua_ls entry and inspect the C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\nvim-data\lsp.log output, especially the lua-language-server.CMD path and non-ASCII username. Done means opening or saving and quitting a .lua file in Neovim no longer opens an external terminal, and lua_ls does not exit with code 1.
