# Getting Started
The PowerShell Editor Services project provides a Language Server Protocol (LSP)
HTTP server that runs outside the editor. The server supplies rich editor
functionality like code completion, syntax highlighting, and code annotation.
This document will guide you through getting a minimal setup working with
several editors.
## Editors
1. [Neovim](#neovim)
## Neovim
### Install the Server
Download and extract the PowerShell Editor Services server from the
[releases page](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShellEditorServices/releases)
into a directory of your choice. Remember the path that you extract the
project into.
```powershell
$DownloadUrl = 'https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShellEditorServices/releases/latest/download/PowerShellEditorServices.zip';
$ZipPath = "$HOME/Desktop/PowerShellEditorServices.zip";
$InstallPath = "$HOME/Desktop/PowerShellEditorServices";
Invoke-WebRequest -Method 'GET' -Uri $DownloadUrl -OutFile $ZipPath;
Expand-Archive -Path $ZipPath -DestinationPath $InstallPath;
```
### Install Neovim's Quickstart LSP Configurations
Neovim has a repository of quickstart LSP configurations for a number of
languages, including PowerShell. Install the quickstart LSP configuration into
one of the package directories inside `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`. The path
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` will vary depending on which operating system you are on:
| OS | Path |
| ---------- | -------------------------- |
| Windows | `$HOME/AppData/local/nvim` |
| *nix/macOS | `$HOME/.config/nvim` |
The easiest way is to install the quickstart configuration is to clone the
repository using git:
```powershell
git clone https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig.git "$HOME/AppData/local/nvim/pack/complete/start/nvim-lspconfig"
```
Alternatively, you can extract the zip file into the same place:
```powershell
$DownloadUrl = 'https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/archive/refs/heads/master.zip';
$ZipPath = "$HOME/AppData/local/nvim/nvim-lspconfig.zip";
$InstallPath = "$HOME/AppData/local/nvim/pack/complete/start/nvim-lspconfig";
Invoke-WebRequest -Method 'GET' Uri $DownloadUrl -OutFile $ZipPath;
Expand-Archive -Path $ZipPath -DestinationPath $InstallPath;
```
> NOTE: If the corresponding neovim configuration and package directories have
> not been created yet, create them before installing the quickstart LSP
> configuration repository.
### Configure the Server
#### Setup Keybindings and Path Information
Once the basic language configurations have been installed, add this to your
`init.lua` located in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`:
```lua
local on_attach = function(client, bufnr)
-- Enable completion triggered by <c-x><c-o>
vim.api.nvim_set_option_value("omnifunc", "v:lua.vim.lsp.omnifunc", { buf = bufnr })
local bufopts = { noremap = true, silent = true, buffer = bufnr }
vim.keymap.set('n', '<C-k>', vim.lsp.buf.signature_help, bufopts)
vim.keymap.set('n', 'gD', vim.lsp.buf.declaration, bufopts)
vim.keymap.set('n', 'gd', vim.lsp.buf.definition, bufopts)
vim.keymap.set('n', 'gi', vim.lsp.buf.implementation, bufopts)
vim.keymap.set('n', 'gr', vim.lsp.buf.references, bufopts)
vim.keymap.set('n', 'K', vim.lsp.buf.hover, bufopts)
vim.keymap.set('n', '<Leader>ca', vim.lsp.buf.code_action, bufopts)
vim.keymap.set('n', '<Leader>f', function() vim.lsp.buf.format { async = true } end, bufopts)
vim.keymap.set('n', '<Leader>rn', vim.lsp.buf.rename, bufopts)
vim.keymap.set('n', '<Leader>td', vim.lsp.buf.type_definition, bufopts)
end
local home_directory = os.getenv('HOME')
if home_directory == nil then
home_directory = os.getenv('USERPROFILE')
end
-- The bundle_path is where PowerShell Editor Services was installed
local bundle_path = home_directory .. '/Desktop/PowerShellEditorServices'
require('lspconfig')['powershell_es'].setup {
bundle_path = bundle_path,
on_attach = on_attach
}
```
> NOTE: Be sure to set the bundle_path variable to the correct location,
> otherwise the server will not know the path to start the server.
If you use an `init.vim` file, you may put the keybinding and path configuration
in your `init.vim` with the `lua` heredoc syntax instead.
```vim
lua << EOF
-- lua keybindings and path configuration here
EOF
```
#### Theme Troubleshooting
If you find that your colorscheme appears correctly for a second and then
changes to not having full highlighting, you'll need to disable semantic
highlighting.
Add this line to the `on_attach` function.
```lua
client.server_capabilities.semanticTokensProvider = nil
```
#### Configure Additional Settings
To further configure the server, you can supply settings to the setup table.
For example, you can set the code formatting preset to one true brace style
(OTBS).
```lua
require('lspconfig')['powershell_es'].setup {
bundle_path = bundle_path,
on_attach = on_attach,
settings = { powershell = { codeFormatting = { Preset = 'OTBS' } } }
}
```
For a more complete list of options have a look at this schema:
[nvim-lsp-installer powershell_es reference](https://github.com/williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer/blob/main/lua/nvim-lsp-installer/_generated/schemas/powershell_es.lua)
You can also set the bundled PSScriptAnalyzer's custom rule path like so:
```lua
local custom_settings_path = home_directory .. '/PSScriptAnalyzerSettings.psd1'
require('lspconfig')['powershell_es'].setup {
bundle_path = bundle_path,
on_attach = on_attach,
settings = { powershell = { scriptAnalysis = { settingsPath = custom_settings_path } } }
}
```
#### Autocomplete Brackets Troubleshooting
If you're using `blink.cmp` and you're getting brackets when autocompleting
cmdlet names, you'll need to add `{ "ps1", "psm1" }` to the blocked filetypes
for both `kind_resolution` and `semantic_token_resolution` in the plugin's
config file.
[Blink.cmp completion reference](https://cmp.saghen.dev/configuration/reference#completion-accept)
### Indentation
Vim/Neovim does not contain default `:h indentexpr` for filetype `ps1`.
So you might notice indentation on newline is not behaving as expected for powershell files.
Luckily powershell has similar syntax like C, so we can use `:h cindent` to fix the indentation problem.
You can use the following snippet to either callback of an autocmd or ftplugin.
```lua
--- ./nvim/lua/ftplugin/ps1.lua
-- disable indent from powershell treesitter parser
-- because the parse isn't mature currently
-- you can ignore this step if don't use treesitter
if pcall(require, 'nvim-treesitter') then
vim.schedule(function() vim.cmd([[TSBufDisable indent]]) end)
end
vim.opt_local.cindent = true
vim.opt_local.cinoptions:append { 'J1', '(1s', '+0' } -- see :h cino-J, cino-(, cino-+
vim.opt_local.iskeyword:remove { '-' } -- OPTIONALLY consider Verb-Noun as a whole word
```
