LSP Rant

[Attila Kovacs 635]

This shitty LSP is just the same compiler shoved into a separate thread, making work with the IDE slow as hell, constantly crashing or stuck compiling. It can't even handle code snippets if there's an error somewhere and the compiler can't compile the whole thing, which, as far as I remember, was its main goal. Honestly, the entire thing is a botched piece of garbage that was a complete waste of time to create.

 

This was a huge step towards the world of garbage-tier IDEs.

I agree with you. The LSP simply is unusable on our project and we were forced to write our own IDE plugin and utilize DelphiAST to write our own code insight and code completion. Even in much simply projects I am writing (<10 units, a few hundred lines of code) the code completion, ctrl+click to jump to an identifier, does not work well.

Do you have any plans on releasing that plug-in?

[Dave Novo 52]

Unfortunately, we are not. The company has too many hoops to jump through to get anything out as open source.  Plus we used a lot of our base classes and libraries to speed up the coding, so would have to disentangle that.

I assume its still that you have to have logged a bug yourself before you are able to see other people's bugs?

I haven't really kept up with the latest Delphi versions. Is still still the same problem with the LSP from 2020, or is this something else?

Recently I have a different problem when debugging using Delphi, Windows freeze completely. Even the task manager cannot be activated, the only solution is to turn off the laptop using the power button.

Since version 12.2, the elements in my Watch window keep freezing, and only an IDE restart helps. Someone must have tinkered with the debugger because I also noticed some new visualizers I had never seen before.
