Description
In some cases like incremental text sync issues we might get desynchronized from the client state. This may or may not be the case in #10138, but having a copy of the code and a full LSP trace might help reproduce these issues.
Unfortunately, doing this isn't as easy as it seems:
-
parsing the file should be easy, it's JSON per line with a prefix
-
we need to remap all the file paths
-
we need to make sure that the log file is line-buffered
-
the ordering matters; we can extract most of it out of the log but it can still be a problem, e.g. the log might have:
request 1
< notification 1
< response 1
but we get:
> request 1
< response 1
< notification 1

Research direction
Start by examining the existing LSP logging behavior and the JSON-per-line trace format described in the issue. Account for path remapping, line buffering, and preservation of request, notification, and response ordering. Done means a copied LSP trace can be replayed to reproduce client-state desynchronization issues.
