Godot Version

4.4dev5 and 4.3

Question

Hi there,
I’ve been trying for a couple of days now to troubleshoot Godot and Helix not being able to connect through the language server. Used to use it all the time earlier on but this time I just can’t get it to work.
I don’t know enough about lsp to understand the error messages hree so I’m hoping someone else here is able to.

  1. I start Godot first and open the project
  2. I then open a terminal
  3. hx [path]
  4. open a file in the file picker
  5. try to go to definition of function,
    This results in the message “No configured language server supports goto-definition”.

hx --health output:

I am facing the same issue. It also happens with the Zed editor.

For 4.4 dev versions this is now tracked in Regression: LSP sends unparsable message, breaking text editor lsp integration. · Issue #100914 · godotengine/godot · GitHub. 4.3 should work however (did test it just now).

Feel free to report LSP bugs to Github in the future.
