What is the issue affecting?
Other
Expected Behaviour
The language server should run when installed via winget.
Actual Behaviour
Running the language server gives me:
PS C:\Users\{USERNAME}> lua-language-server.exe C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Links\lua-language-server.exe: cannot open (bootstrap.lua): No such file or directory
Reproduction steps
- Install via
winget:winget install luaLS.lua-language-server - Run
lua-language-serverfrom the command line
Additional Notes
Granted, this might be unrelated to this GitHub repository and should be mentioned on the winget-pkgs repository instead, but I also am not sure of how this should be fixed or, perhaps, the winget package is maintained from the authors here. Either way, there was a similar discussion mentioning this error, but that was also not on Windows and I'm unsure if any fixes from there can be applied for this scenario.

Research direction
Start by checking the winget package LuaLS.lua-language-server and the reported lua-language-server.exe command on Windows, since no repository file or test is named. Determine whether the failure belongs in this repository or winget-pkgs; done means the installed command can locate bootstrap.lua and start successfully.
