[nvim][lspconfig ] elm-format complained and obstruct the editor on syntax error

[dtrckd]

Hi there,

I have set up elmls with nvim and lspconfig. Everything works fine, except one thing, when I format a file with the vim command lua vim.lsp.buf.format(), and that there is format errors in this file, I have a bunch of messages that are injected into the bottom bar log of vim, and that ask me to type to return to normal mode. Furthermore, the number of these messages seems to accumulate and increase during a session, making it really annoying.

My nvim settings can be found here : https://github.com/dtrckd/config/blob/master/dotfiles/.config/nvim/lua/lsp_config.lua#L77

Here is the message

If someone have an idea of what is going on, I will be happy to know more and solve this.

Hi, I can't see the solution because I can't log in because slask tells me I don't have an account on this workspace :'(.

Could you copy the solution here?
