Hi, thanks for the report, will need to take a look why this happens :/ Perhaps we do something that is only working on Unices.
Hi, I fixes an issue with starting the LSP server on windows (I tested with clangd). Can you test with the latest nightly build from binaryfactory.kde.org?
So, I tested the store version (https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Kate_Release_win64/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/kate-20.04.2-924-windows-msvc2019_64-cl-sideload.appx) and the "normal" one (https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Kate_Release_win64/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/kate-20.04.2-924-windows-msvc2019_64-cl.exe). Unfortunately, both still tell that they could not start the language server. Before installing either, I made sure that texlab is really on my path (btw, I'm using texlab 2.2.0, which should be the latest stable version) and it was, at least from a random powershell instance.
Hi, Please use the nightly build. The fix was added after 20.04 was branched Can you try from here: https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/Windows%2064-bit/job/Kate_Nightly_win64/
Sorry for the misunderstanding. The version 20.07.70, from https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/Windows%2064-bit/job/Kate_Nightly_win64/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/kate-master-866-windows-msvc2019_64-cl.exe can successfully start the language server. A super-quick test shows correctly the appropriate suggestions as I type. Awesome!
Thanks for checking :) I'll ask on the development list if they feel the bugfix should be backported
