Bug 499187

If I create a .luarc.json file and I put it on /home/mte90 it is used but there is still the error because Kate is sending that parameter anyway.

Does it work better if you add 

            "root": ""

to the lua server settings? (See bash server for example)

Nope:

```
"lua": {
            "command": ["lua-language-server"],
            "url": "https://github.com/sumneko/lua-language-server",
            "highlightingModeRegex": "^Lua$",
	"root":""
        }
```

The log output:
```

As you can see don't affect the LSP server.

Do you have project plugin enabled?

You can also try to use:
            "rootIndicationFileNames": [".luarc.json"]
where .luarc.json lives at the root of your project. That should work

I have the project plugin enabled and also with that parameter I still have the issue.

Ok, then you can have a `.kateproject` file in /home/mte90/.config/nvim/

In that file (/home/mte90/.config/nvim/.kateproject), you can specify the exact root. Contents of the file below

{
    "name": "Neovim_Config",
    "files": [
        {
        "directory": ".",
        "recursive": 1,
        "hidden": 1
        }
    ],
    "exclude_patterns" : [],
    "lspclient": {
        "servers": {
            "lua": {
                "command": ["lua-language-server"],
                "root": "/home/mte90/.config/nvim/",
                "highlightingModeRegex": "^Lua$"
            }
        }
    }
}

Kate will treat /home/mte90/.config/nvim/ as a project folder if this file is present. The folder should appear in the project sidebar with the name Neovim_Config at the top. LSP plugin will then use the absolute path specified in the "root" key.

That solution worked.
