coc-debian

A coc.nvim extension that provides Language Server Protocol support for Debian control files.

Features

• Auto-completion for Debian control file field names
• Package name suggestions
• Automatic activation for debian/control files

Installation

Prerequisites

• coc.nvim installed in Vim/Neovim
• Node.js and npm
• The debian-lsp server built and available

Local Installation

1. Build the debian-lsp server first:

   cd /path/to/debian-lsp
   cargo build --release
   

2. Install and build the coc extension:

   cd coc-debian
   npm install
   npm run build
   

3. Install the extension in coc.nvim:

   :CocInstall file:///absolute/path/to/debian-lsp/coc-debian
   

   Or alternatively, create a symlink in your coc extensions directory:

   ln -s /absolute/path/to/debian-lsp/coc-debian ~/.config/coc/extensions/node_modules/coc-debian
   

4. Configure the LSP server path:

   Add the following to your coc-settings.json (:CocConfig in Vim):

   {
     "debian.enable": true,
     "debian.serverPath": "/absolute/path/to/debian-lsp/target/release/debian-lsp"
   }
   

Verify Installation

1. Open a Debian control file (debian/control or any file named control)
2. Try typing field names and you should see completions
3. Check :CocList extensions to see if coc-debian is listed and active

Development

To work on the extension:

# Watch for changes and rebuild
npm run watch

# After making changes, restart coc
:CocRestart

Troubleshooting

• LSP not starting: Check that the debian.serverPath points to the correct executable
• No completions: Verify the file is named control or is in a debian/ directory
• Extension not loading: Check :CocList extensions and look for any error messages
