Reproduction steps

1. Use a machine with system Ruby 3, no version manager
2. Create a new project with a Gemfile
3. bundle install
4. Open project in VSCode
5. Ruby LSP client: couldn't create connection to server.

Example Gemfile:

source "https://rubygems.org"

gem "sqlite3"
gem "tk"

group :development do
  gem "standard"
end

Thank you for the bug report!

Note that the FAQ specifically says that vscode doesn't need a local gem installation of ruby-lsp.

Can you point to where we say that? If we say it like that, then it's a mistake. You don't have to add ruby-lsp to your bundle, but we definitely need to be able to install the ruby-lsp gem automatically for you otherwise the executable won't be there for us to launch the server.

Regarding the issue you're experiencing, I suspect it's related to the fact that you are not using a version manager and the VS Code NodeJS process likely doesn't know about the Ruby you installed manually. How did you install Ruby? And how do you add the Ruby installation to your PATH?

[rongcuid]

Can you point to where we say that? If we say it like that, then it's a mistake.

https://shopify.github.io/ruby-lsp/editors.html

This file contains community driven instructions on how to set up the Ruby LSP in editors other than VS Code. For VS Code, use the official Ruby LSP extension.

I might have interpreted this sentence incorrectly.

I was trying to use the system installed Ruby, which is under /usr/bin.

[vinistock]

Do you need sudo to install gems with that system Ruby? If so, the Ruby LSP will unfortunately not work as the process doesn't run with sudo permissions and we need to be able to install gems.

We do offer options to point to a specific Ruby executable, but it will only work if sudo is not required.

[rongcuid]

I need sudo to install ruby-lsp. gem install --user-install somehow gives me an error saying my --install-path is also set, despite me not setting it, so I am not sure if that will work.

[vinistock]

We have some instructions on how to configure RubyGems and Bundler to install gems in specific places and to use user-install to avoid permission issues.

Do those options work for you?

[rongcuid]

Sorry for the late response.

$ cat .gemrc
gem: --user-install
$ gem install ruby-lsp
ERROR:  Use --install-dir or --user-install but not both

That's the error I am referring to. I have no idea why Gem thinks --install-dir is specified, because I have not set it anywhere in my home dir. I grepped for it in my entire home and there's nothing turning out (yet).

Also, there's a Ruby Lsp: Branch option in the extension settings, which made me think if the extension was supposed to install the LSP somehow.

[rongcuid]

Can you point to where we say that? If we say it like that, then it's a mistake. You don't have to add ruby-lsp to your bundle, but we definitely need to be able to install the ruby-lsp gem automatically for you otherwise the executable won't be there for us to launch the server.

Actually, I found the exact quote:

https://shopify.github.io/ruby-lsp/#with-vs-code

If using VS Code, all you have to do is install the Ruby LSP extension to get the extra features in the editor. Do not install the ruby-lsp gem manually.

[rongcuid]

This is a second kind of error I encountered. If I use a separate Gemfile for the Ruby-LSP environment:

$ cat Gemfile
source "https://rubygems.org"

gem "ruby-lsp"

VSCode extension claims to install the gems, but can't find them anyways:

I was experiencing similar problem

If you run gem instal rub-lsp, i would complain about permission when writing to / directory,
it will install to fallback path ~/.local/share/gem/ruby/

you need to add this directory ~/.local/share/gem/ruby/3.x.x/bin to ~/.zprofile(for zsh) or ~/.bash_profile (for bash)

example

# .zprofile

# Ruby Gems
PATH=$PATH:~/.local/share/gem/ruby/3.3.0/bin

relogin user, it will be loaded into environment
