After countless hours trying to create a LSP setup, it seems impossible, even though I have very good experience with Neovim (for example, I have done my own "distro" from the ground up). The problem is that both typst-lsp (which I know is 6-7 months outdated) and tinymist always crash while executing it no matter what I do.

#LSP Typst setup for Neovim

have you tried https://github.com/chomosuke/typst-preview.nvim

Notice I'm trying to setup LSP and preview
Ok, I want to use zathura as previewer
LSP Typst setup for Neovim
pallid trench
well, I mean have you tried that as a starting point just to get Tinymist working first
and see if you can isolate where the crashes are coming from
pallid trench
I don't use weird editors so this is me just making suggestions of things I've seen working for other people
I would have no feedback on specific editor problems

@pallid trench Neovim's LSP log
Here you can see tinymist spits some critical errors which make it exit (with 2 as exit code if I'm not mistaken).
The log is from the last editing session

Jeez, what's with that log? I'm also using a similar setup as you; i'll have a closer look later
Or have you already solved your problem?
Also: When i want to preview in zathura i usually just typst w main.typ; zathura main.pdf & Since i don't believe zathura supports scrolling and jump to position like typst-preview does in the browser
marsh badge
Yeah, zathura doesn't support jump to position (as far as i know)
@hard grail
To preview files i have this lua function assigned to the Fr binding:
function TypstP() vim.cmd[[sil !sh -c 'zathura $(basename % .typ).pdf &']] end
I just improved it:
function TypstP() vim.cmd('sil !exec zathura $(basename % .typ).pdf &') end
hard grail
Nice! Running zathura in the background works well, because it automatically reloads a file if it changed. I think i'll copy this 😄
As to your specific error:
[ERROR][2024-10-29 19:07:24] .../vim/lsp/rpc.lua:770"rpc""/usr/bin/tinymist""stderr""error: expected pattern\n ┌─ "
[ERROR][2024-10-29 19:07:24] .../vim/lsp/rpc.lua:770"rpc""/usr/bin/tinymist""stderr""/home/playa4l/tem.typ:1:4\n │\n1 │ #let \n │ ^\n\n"
seems relevant to me, but i can't figure out what exactly the output means bvecause i don't know the file referenced there. Maybe it's just the output of tinymist getting printed weirdly by the lsp log? Because the complete log looks nested as if it were actually two separate logs
There are more lines hinting to some syntax errors in your file
