What file extensions are supported ?

[motorto]

Summary

The harper_ls language server, as documented in the [nvim-lspconfig documentation](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/configs.md#harper_ls), is supposed to support the following file types:

{ "c", "cpp", "cs", "gitcommit", "go", "html", "java", "javascript", "lua", "markdown", "nix", "python", "ruby", "rust", "swift", "toml", "typescript", "typescriptreact" }

However, while it works correctly for markdown and lua files, no errors are being reported for other file types, even when no other LSP is active for the file.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a supported file type (e.g., python, c, etc.) in Neovim.
2. Ensure that no other LSP server is active for the file.
3. Introduce a syntax error or invalid code.
4. Observe the absence of error reporting by harper_ls.

Observed Behavior

• harper_ls works correctly for markdown files (errors are reported as expected).
• No errors or diagnostics are reported for other supported file types.

Expected Behavior

• harper_ls should provide diagnostics and error reporting for all supported file types listed in the documentation.

Environment

• Neovim Version: NVIM v0.10.2
• OS: fedora 41

Additional Notes

• The issue does not appear to be configuration-specific, as the server initializes without errors.
• This behavior persists across multiple supported file types (python, c, etc.).

Harper doesn't aim to correct syntax errors or invalid code, that is the role of a language specific lsp. Those languages are "supported" because it will spellcheck comments on files of those types.

Hey @motorto,

It sounds like you're concerned because you are not getting language diagnostics when you provide invalid code to harper-ls. Does that sound right?

That's actually entirely expected. Harper doesn't aim to fix you're code, but rather your comments. Harper is actually a grammar checker, designed to make your non-code text easier to read and be understood by other people on your team.

If you want confirmation that it's working, try adding a comment containing "This is an test". You should be getting diagnostics to fix it.

Hope your day goes well :). Let me know if that answered your question so I can go ahead and close this ticket.

Hey, I was expecting that it would give grammar errors only on comments which it doesn't. I tried the sentence: # This are error. And get nothing. The LspLogs doesn't give me nothing, and I can confirm that Harper is running because of lspinfo. Happy to help more, at the end of the day it might be a config problem on my end. Can you confirm that it gives you grammar corrections in python comments ?
