:lang julia

The better, faster MATLAB

1. Description

This module adds support for the Julia language to Doom Emacs.

  • Syntax highlighting and latex symbols from julia-mode
  • REPL integration from julia-repl
  • Code completion and syntax checking, requires :tools lsp and +lsp

1.2. Module flags

+lsp
Enable LSP support for julia-mode. Requires :tools lsp and a langserver (supports LanguageServer.jl).

1.4. Hacks

No hacks documented for this module.

2. Prerequisites

This module requires julia.

If +lsp is enabled, a language server is required as well.

2.1. Language Server

+lsp requires LanguageServer.jl and SymbolServer.jl. The lsp-julia and eglot-jl packages both come bundled with their own versions of these servers, which is used by default. If you’re happy with that, no further configuration is necessary.

However, to use your own installation you will need to install then configure them. To install them, execute these commands in a Julia REPL:

# ⎘
using Pkg
Pkg.add("LanguageServer")
Pkg.add("SymbolServer")

Then configure lsp-julia or eglot-jl depending on whether you have enabled :tools lsp with or without its +eglot flag, respectively:

2.1.1. lsp-julia

To instruct lsp-julia not to use the built-in package:

# ⎘
;; add to $DOOMDIR/config.el
(setq lsp-julia-package-dir nil)

To find your installation of LanguageServer.jl, eglot-jl needs to know the environment in which it is installed. This is set to v1.0 by default as it is the current LTS:

# ⎘
(setq lsp-julia-default-environment "~/.julia/environments/v1.0")

2.1.2. eglot-jl

To find your installation of LanguageServer.jl, eglot-jl must know the environment in which it is installed. This is set to v1.0 by default as it is the current LTS:

# ⎘
;; add to $DOOMDIR/config.el
(setq eglot-jl-language-server-project "~/.julia/environments/v1.0")

But to let eglot-jl use the environment bundled with it, set it to eglot-jl-base instead:

# ⎘
;; add to $DOOMDIR/config.el
(after! eglot-jl
  (setq eglot-jl-language-server-project eglot-jl-base))

3. Usage

3.1. Language Server

+lsp adds code completion, syntax checking, formatting and other lsp-mode or eglot features. It requires LanguageServer.jl, the installation of which is described above.

4. Configuration

4.1. Change the default environment for the Julia language server

lsp-julia requires a variable be set for the Julia environment. This is set to v1.0 by default as it is the current LTS.

# ⎘
;; add to $DOOMDIR/config.el
(setq lsp-julia-default-environment "~/.julia/environments/v1.0")
