It is not possible to **not** use the bundled server

Which OS are you using?

Linux

Expected Behaviour

I can specify and run an arbitrary location for the LSP binary.

Actual Behaviour

Only the bundled with the addon binary is used

Reproduction steps

Use this VScode plugin

Additional Notes

On NixOS binaries dowloaded from the web usually do not work, as their interpreter is not at the usual location that usually is assumed.

A common workaround we usually use is to use a softlink that replaces the binary to something we built with nix or set another location in VScode (we actually prefer the latter).

In a perfect world, the option can be either absolute, relative or just the binary for a lookup in the PATH.

(PS: the first version does also not work for this plugin, as then it follows the symlink and tries to write into a read only location, so I had to hardcopy the proper binary)

Log

[Error - 8:10:44 AM] Lua client: couldn't create connection to server.
Launching server using command /home/nobbz/.vscode/extensions/sumneko.lua-3.6.26-linux-x64/server/bin/lua-language-server failed. Error: spawn /home/nobbz/.vscode/extensions/sumneko.lua-3.6.26-linux-x64/server/bin/lua-language-server ENOENT

Commencez par localiser la configuration du lancement du serveur et du binaire intégré du plugin VS Code décrite dans l’issue. Ajoutez un paramètre qui accepte un chemin absolu, un chemin relatif ou une commande résolue via PATH pour le Lua language server, puis vérifiez que l’exécutable configuré est lancé à la place du binaire intégré, y compris sur NixOS.
