Description gl.ivanovsky 2020-03-19 20:45:16 UTC 
SUMMARY
I have installed nightly build #766 (Version 20.07.70) on Windows 10. I also have LLVM installed and added to PATH. I can launch clangd from command line, but LSP Client fails to start it for some reason.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable LSP Client plugin.
2. Open any C source file.

OBSERVED RESULT
[2020-03-19T22:23:51] [Error] [LSP Client]
Failed to start server: clangd -log=error --background-index

EXPECTED RESULT
LSP server should start and work or there should be more information for troubleshooting.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.67.0
Qt Version: 5.14.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 gl.ivanovsky 2020-03-19 20:49:02 UTC 
I don't have it in this particular setup, but I have experimented with Python language server as well with the same result. So it isn't specific to clangd and potentially affects all language servers.

Can you please test and confirm if this issue is still occurring or if this bug report can be marked as resolved. I'm setting status to "needsinfo" pending your response, please change back to "reported" or "resolved" when you respond, thanks.
