Enso Protocol Language Server Message Specification

This document contains the specification of the Enso protocol messages that pertain to the language server component. Please familiarise yourself with the common features of the protocol before reading this document.

For information on the design and architecture of the protocol, as well as its transport formats, please look here.

Types

There are a number of types that are used only within the language server's protocol messages. These are specified here.

ExpressionId

An identifier used for Enso expressions.

type ExpressionId = UUID;

ContextId

An identifier used for execution contexts.

type ContextId = UUID;

StackItem

A representation of an executable position in code, used by the execution APIs.

ExplicitCall is a call performed at the top of the stack, to initialize the context with first execution. The thisArgumentsPosition field can be omitted, in which case the context will try to infer the argument on a best-effort basis. E.g. for a module-level method, or a method defined on a parameter-less type, self will be substituted for the unambiguous singleton instance.

LocalCall is a call corresponding to "entering a function call".

type StackItem = ExplicitCall | LocalCall;

interface ExplicitCall {
  methodPointer: MethodPointer;
  thisArgumentExpression?: String;
  positionalArgumentsExpressions: String[];
}

interface LocalCall {
  expressionId: ExpressionId;
}

MethodCall

A representation of a method call.

interface MethodCall {
  /** The method pointer of a call. */
  methodPointer: MethodPointer;

  /** Indexes of arguments that have not been applied to this method. */
  notAppliedArguments: number[];
}

MethodPointer

Points to a method definition.

interface MethodPointer {
  /** The fully qualified module name. */
  module: String;

  /** The type on which the method is defined. */
  definedOnType: String;

  /** The method name. */
  name: String;
}

ProfilingInfo

Profiling information on an executed expression. It is implemented as a union as additional types of information will be added in the future.

type ProfilingInfo = ExecutionTime;

Where:

interface ExecutionTime {
  /** The time elapsed during the expression's evaluation, in nanoseconds */
  nanoTime: Number;
}

ExecutionEnvironment

The execution environment of Enso runtime.

type ExecutionEnvironment = Design | Live;

ExpressionUpdate

An update about the computed expression.

interface ExpressionUpdate {
  /**
   * The id of updated expression.
   */
  expressionId: ExpressionId;

  /**
   * The updated type of the expression.

 */
interface Warnings {
  /**
   * The number of attached warnings.

}

DirectoryTree

A directory tree is a recursive type used to represent tree structures of files and directories. It contains files and symlinks in the files section and directories in the directories section. When the tree was requested with the parameter limiting the maximum depth, the bottom of the DirectoryTree will contain Directory node in the files section indicating that there is a directory, but the contents are unknown because we've reached the maximum depth.

Format

interface DirectoryTree {
  path: Path;
  name: String;
  files: [FileSystemObject];
  directories: [DirectoryTree];
}

FileAttributes

  /**
   * Line position in a document (zero-based).
   */
  line: number;

  /**
   * Character offset on a line in a document (zero-based). Assuming that the
   * line is represented as a string, the `character` value represents the gap
   * between the `character` and `character + 1`.
   *
   * If the character value is greater than the line length it defaults back to
   * the line length.
   */
  character: number;
}

namespace org.enso.languageserver.protocol.binary;

struct Position {
  // Line position in a document (zero-based)
  line: uint64;
  // Character offset on a line in a document (zero-based)
  character: uint64;
}

Range

A representation of a range of text in a text file.

For example, given the function.

0|inc x =
1|    x + 1
  ^^^^^^^^^
  012345678

The range of inc is

{
    start: { line: 0, character: 0},
    end: { line: 0, character: 3}
}

The range of 1 is

{
    start: { line: 1, character: 8},
    end: { line: 1, character: 9}
}

Format

interface Range {
  /**
   * The range's start position (inclusive).
   */
  start: Position;

  /**
   * The range's end position (exclusive).
   */
  end: Position;
}

TextEdit

A representation of a change to a text file at a given position.

Format

interface TextEdit {
  /** The range of text in a text file. */
  range: Range;

  /** The change to a text file. */
  text: string;
}

DiagnosticType

The type of diagnostic message.

Format

type DiagnosticType = Error | Warning;

StackTraceElement

The frame of the stack trace. If the error refer to a builtin node, the path and location fields will be empty.

Format

interface StackTraceElement {
  /**
   * The function name containing the stack trace element.
   */
  functionName: String;

  /**
   * The location of the file.
   */
  path?: Path;

  /**
   * The location of the element in a file.
   */
  location?: Range;
}

ExecutionResult

An execution result object is produced as a result of an execution attempt. Compared to Diagnostic object it can also represent a critical failure information.

Diagnostic

A diagnostic object is produced as a result of an execution attempt, like pushing the method pointer to a call stack, or editing the file. It can represent a compiler warning, a compilation error, or a runtime error. The message has optional path, location and stack fields containing information about the location in the source code.

In case of the runtime errors, the path and location fields may be empty if the error happens in a builtin node. Then, to locate the error in the code, you can use the stack field with a stack trace to find the first element with non-empty location (as the head of the stack will point to the builtin element).

Format

interface Diagnostic {
  /**
   * The type of diagnostic message.
   */
  kind: DiagnosticType;

  /**
   * The diagnostic message.
   */
  message: String;

  /**
   * The location of a file containing the diagnostic.
   */
  path?: Path;

  /**
   * The location of the diagnostic object in a file.
   */
  location?: Range;

  /**
   * The id of related expression.
   */
  expressionId?: ExpressionId;

  /**
   * The stack trace.
   */
  stack: StackTraceElement[];
}

SHA3-224

The SHA3-224 message digest encoded as a base16 string. For the equivalent structure on the binary connection please see EnsoDigest

Format

type SHA3-224 = String;

FileEdit

A representation of a batch of edits to a file, versioned.

SHA3-224 represents hash of the file contents. oldVersion is the version you're applying your update on, newVersion is what you compute as the hash after applying the changes. In other words,

hash(origFile) == oldVersion
hash(applyEdits(origFile, edits)) == newVersion

it's a sanity check to make sure that the diffs are applied consistently.

Consecutive text edits are applied sequentially, every one acting on the result of applying previous ones on the original buffer contents. In pseudocode:

applyEdits buffer [] = buffer
applyEdits buffer (first : rest) = applyEdits (applyTextEdit buffer first) rest

Format

interface FileEdit {
  path: Path;
  edits: [TextEdit];
  oldVersion: SHA3-224;
  newVersion: SHA3-224;
}

FileContents

A representation of the contents of a file.

Format

interface FileContents<T> {
  contents: T;
}

class TextFileContents extends FileContents<String> {}

FileSystemObject

A representation of what kind of type a filesystem object can be.

Format

type FileSystemObject = Directory | SymlinkLoop | File | Other;

/**
 * Represents a directory.
 *
 * @param name a name of the directory
 * @param path a path to the directory
 */
interface Directory {
  name: String;
  path: Path;
}

/**
 * Represents a symbolic link that creates a loop.
 *
 * @param name a name of the symlink
 * @param path a path to the symlink
 * @param target a target of the symlink. Since it is a loop,
 * target is a subpath of the symlink
 */
interface SymlinkLoop {
  name: String;
  path: Path;
  target: Path;
}

/**
 * Represents a file.
 *
 * @param name a name of the file
 * @param path a path to the file
 */
interface File {
  name: String;
  path: Path;
}

/**
 * Represents unrecognized object.
 * Example is a broken symbolic link.
 */
interface Other {
  name: String;
  path: Path;
}

WorkspaceEdit

This is a message to be specified once we better understand the intricacies of undo/redo.

The actionables for this section are:

  • Work out the design of this message.
  • Specify this message.

EnsoDigest

A counterpart to SHA3-224 for the binary connection, this is a standard message digest encoded using FlatBuffers.

namespace org.enso.languageserver.protocol.binary;

table EnsoDigest {
  bytes : [ubyte] (required);
}

Notes:

  • It is an error for the length of the vector bytes to not be equal to 28 (224 / 8). This is the length of the chosen digest in bytes.

FileSegment

A representation of a segment of a file for use in the binary protocol.

namespace org.enso.languageserver.protocol.binary;

table FileSegment {
  // The file to access.
  path : Path (required);

  // The byte offset in the file to read from.
  byteOffset : ulong;

  // The number of bytes to read.
  length : ulong;
}

The byteOffset property is zero-indexed, so the last byte in the file is at index file.length - 1.

ContentRoot

A representation of a content root for use in the IDE. A content root represents a location on a real file-system that has been virtualised for use in the Enso VFS.

type ContentRoot = Project | FileSystemRoot | Home | Library | Custom;

/** This content root points to the project home. */
interface Project {
  // A unique identifier for the content root.
  id: UUID;
}

/**
 * This content root points to the system root (`/`) on unix systems, or to a
 * drive root on Windows. In Windows' case, there may be multiple `Root` entries
 * corresponding to the various drives.
 */
interface FileSystemRoot {
  // A unique identifier for the content root.
  id: UUID;

  // The absolute filesystem path of the content root.
  path: String;
}

/** The user's home directory. */
interface Home {
  // A unique identifier for the content root.
  id: UUID;
}

/** An Enso library location. */
interface Library {
  // A unique identifier for the content root.
  id: UUID;

  // The namespace of the library.
  namespace: String;

  // The name of the library.
  name: String;

  /**
   * The version of the library.
   *
   * It is either a semver version of the library or the string "local".
   */
  version: String;
}

/** A content root that has been added by the IDE (unused for now). */
interface Custom {
  // A unique identifier for the content root.
  id: UUID;
}

LibraryEntry

Represents a library available in a resolved edition.

interface LibraryEntry {
  namespace: String;

  isCached: Boolean;
}

LibraryVersion

Represents a library version, as returned in LibraryEntry.

type LibraryVersion = LocalLibraryVersion | PublishedLibraryVersion;

/** A library version that references a version of the library published in some
 * repository.
 */
interface PublishedLibraryVersion {
  // A semver-compliant version of the library.
  version: String;

  // URL to the repository that this library will be downloaded from.
  repositoryUrl: String;
}

// A library version that references a locally editable version of the library.
interface LocalLibraryVersion {}

Contact

Represents contact information of authors or maintainers.

Both fields are optional, but for the contact to be valid, at least one of them must be defined.

interface Contact {
  name?: String;
  email?: String;
}

EditionReference

A reference to a specific edition.

Currently, it can either reference an edition by its name, or reference the edition associated with the currently open project.

type EditionReference = NamedEdition | CurrentProjectEdition;

// The edition associated with the current project, with all of its overrides.
interface CurrentProjectEdition {}

// An edition stored under a given name.
interface NamedEdition {
  editionName: String;
}

LibraryComponentGroups

The description of component groups provided by the package. Object fields can be omitted if the corresponding list is empty.

interface LibraryComponentGroups {
  /** The list of component groups provided by the package. */
  newGroups?: LibraryComponentGroup[];

  /** The list of component groups that this package extends.*/
  extendedGroups?: LibraryComponentGroup[];
}

LibraryComponentGroup

The component group provided by a library.

interface LibraryComponentGroup {
  /**
   * The fully qualified library name. A string consisting of a namespace and
   * a library name separated by the dot <namespace>.<library name>,
   * i.e. `Standard.Base`.
   */
  library: string;

  /** The group name without the library name prefix.
   *  E.g. given the `Standard.Base.Group 1` group reference,
   * the `name` field contains `Group 1`.
   */
  name: string;

  color?: string;

  icon?: string;

  /** The list of components provided by this component group. */
  exports: LibraryComponent[];
}

LibraryComponent

A single component of a component group.

interface LibraryComponent {
  /** The component name. */
  name: string;

  /** The component shortcut. */
  shortcut?: string;
}

Connection Management

In order to properly set-up and tear-down the language server connection, we need a set of messages to control this process.

session/initProtocolConnection

This message initialises the connection used to send the textual protocol messages. This initialisation is important such that the client identifier can be correlated between the textual and data connections.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server
  • Connection: Protocol
  • Visibility: Public

Parameters

{
  clientId: UUID;
}

Result

{
  contentRoots: [ContentRoot];
}

Errors

session/initBinaryConnection

This message initialises the data connection used for transferring binary data between engine and clients. This initialisation is important such that the client identifier can be correlated between the data and textual connections.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server
  • Connection: Data
  • Visibility: Public

Parameters

namespace org.enso.languageserver.protocol.binary;

//A command initializing a data session.
table InitSessionCommand {

  //A unique identifier of a client initializing the session.
  identifier: EnsoUUID (required);

}

root_type InitSessionCommand;

Result

namespace org.enso.languageserver.protocol.binary;

//Indicates an operation has succeeded.
table Success {}

Errors

N/A

Capability Management

In order to mediate between multiple clients properly, the language server has a robust notion of capability management to grant and remove permissions from clients.

capability/acquire

File Management Operations

The language server also provides file operations to the IDE.

file/write

This requests that the file manager component write to a specified file with the specified contents.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server

This request is explicitly allowed to write to files that do not exist, and will create them under such circumstances. If a file is recorded as 'open' by one of the clients, and another client attempts to write to that file, the write must fail.

Parameters

{
  path: Path;
  contents: FileContents<T>;
}

Result

null;

Errors

file/read

This requests that the file manager component reads the contents of a specified file.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server
  • Connection: Protocol
  • Visibility: Public

If the file is recorded as open by the language server, then the result will return the contents from the in-memory buffer rather than the file on disk.

Parameters

{
  path: Path;
}

Result

{
  contents: FileContents<T>;
}

Errors

file/writeBinary

This requests that the file manager component write to a specified file with the binary contents.

  • Type: Request
  • Connection: Binary
  • Direction: Client -> Server

This request is explicitly allowed to write to files that do not exist, and will create them under such circumstances. If a file is recorded as 'open' by one of the clients, and another client attempts to write to that file, the write must fail.

Parameters

namespace org.enso.languageserver.protocol.binary;

//A command writing binary contents to a file.
table WriteFileCommand {

  //A path to a file.
  path: Path;

  //Binary contents.
  contents: [ubyte];

}

Result

namespace org.enso.languageserver.protocol.binary;

//Indicates an operation has succeeded.
table Success {}

Errors

file/readBinary

This requests that the file manager component reads the binary contents of a specified file.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server
  • Connection: Binary
  • Visibility: Public

If the file is recorded as open by the language server, then the result will return the contents from the in-memory buffer rather than the file on disk.

Parameters

namespace org.enso.languageserver.protocol.binary;

//A command reading binary contents from a file.
table ReadFileCommand {

  //A path to a file.
  path: Path;

}

Result

namespace org.enso.languageserver.protocol.binary;

//A reply for a ReadFileCommand.
table FileContentsReply {

  //Binary contents.
  contents: [ubyte];

}

Errors

file/writeBytes

This requests that the file manager component writes a set of bytes to the specified file at the specified offset.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server
  • Connection: Binary
  • Visibility: Public

This method will create a file if no file is present at path.

  • The overwriteExisting boolean should be set if byteOffset is less than the length of the file.
  • The byteOffset property is zero-indexed. To append to the file you begin writing at index file.length.
  • If byteOffset is less than the length of the file and overwriteExisting is set, it will truncate the file to length byteOffset + bytes.length.
  • If byteOffset > file.length, the bytes in the range [file.length, byteOffset) will be filled with null bytes. Please note that, in this case, the checksum in the response will also be calculated on the null bytes.

Parameters

namespace org.enso.languageserver.protocol.binary;

table WriteBytesCommand {
  // The file to write to.
  path : Path (required);

  // The byte offset in the file to write from.
  byteOffset : ulong;

  // Whether existing content should be overwritten.
  overwriteExisting : bool;

  // The file contents.
  bytes : [ubyte] (required);
}

Result

namespace org.enso.languageserver.protocol.binary;

table WriteBytesReply {
  // The checksum of the written bytes.
  checksum : EnsoDigest (required);
}

Notes:

  • The checksum is only of the bytes in the request as they were written to disk. This does not include checksumming the entire file. For that, please see file/checksumBytes.

Errors

  • CannotOverwrite to signal that an overwrite would be necessary to perform the operation but that overwriteExisting is not set.
  • NotFile if the provided segment.path is not a file.

file/readBytes

Asks the language server to read the specified number of bytes at the specified offset in the file.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server
  • Connection: Binary
  • Visibility: Public

It will attempt to read as many as segment.length bytes, but does not guarantee that the response will contain segment.length bytes (e.g. if segment.length would require reading off the end of the file).

Parameters

namespace org.enso.languageserver.protocol.binary;

table ReadBytesCommand {
  // The segment in a file to read bytes from.
  segment : FileSegment (required);
}

Result

namespace org.enso.languageserver.protocol.binary;

table ReadBytesReply {
  // The checksum of the bytes in this response.

file/rootAdded

This is a notification sent to all clients to inform them that a content root has been added.

At the beginning, a series of notifications is sent that lists all content roots that are present at the current moment. This message may contain the same content roots that were already present in the session/initProtocolConnection. That is done, because there is no guarantee that no root has been added between the init message and the time when notifications start being sent, and this ensures that no content root is missed.

  • Visibility: Public

Parameters

{
  root: ContentRoot;
}

Errors

TBC

Version Control System Operations

The language server has a set of version control operations to keep track of changes made to the projects.

vcs/init

This requests that the VCS manager component initializes version control for the project identified by the root directory.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server

This request assumes that no prior VCS is present for the project at a specified location. If VCS has already been initialized once, the operation will fail.

Parameters

{
  root: Path;
}

Result

null;

Errors

vcs/save

This requests that the VCS manager component record any changes made to the project, compared to the last save.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server

This request assumes that the project at a specified location exists and VCS has been initialized for it with vcs/init operation. If the project is not under Enso's version control system, the operation must fail. If no changes have been recorded since the last save, the operation must still succeed. All saves include a timestamp when the request was made. For easier identification, the request has an optional name parameter that will prefix the timestamp.

Parameters

{
  root: Path;
  name?: String;
}

Result

{
  commitId: String;
  message: String;
}

Errors

  • VCSError to signal a generic, unrecoverable VCS error.
  • ProjectNotFound to signal that the requested project does not exist
  • VCSNotFound to signal that the project is not under Enso's version control

vcs/status

This requests that the VCS manager component report the current status of the changes made to the project.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server

This request assumes that the project at a specified location exists and VCS has been initialized for it with vcs/init operation. If the project is not under Enso's version control system, the operation must fail. The status of the project includes:

  • dirtty flag, indicating if any of the project files has been modified, added or deleted
  • list of paths to the modified files, if any
  • the metadata of a last save, if any

Parameters

{
  root: Path;
}

Result

{
  dirty: Boolean;
  changed: [Path];
  lastSave: {
    commitId: String;
    message: String;
  }
}

Errors

  • VCSError to signal a generic, unrecoverable VCS error.
  • ProjectNotFound to signal that the requested project does not exist
  • VCSNotFound to signal that the project is not under Enso's version control

vcs/restore

This requests that the VCS manager component restores the project to a past state recorded in Enso's VCS. All unsaved changes will be lost.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server

This request assumes that the project at a specified location exists and VCS has been initialized for it with vcs/init operation. If the project is not under Enso's version control system, the operation must fail.

The request has an optional commitId parameter that refers to the past checkpoint recorded with vcs/save. If no save exists with a provided commitId, the request must fail. If no commitId exists, the operation will restore the project to the last saved state, will all current modifications forgotten.

If the contents of any open buffer has changed as a result of this operation, all subscribed clients will be notified about the new version of the file via text/didChange push notification.

A file might have been removed during the operation while there were still open buffers for that file. Any such clients will be modified of a file removal via the file/event notification.

The result of the call returns a list of files that have been modified during the operation.

Parameters

{
  root: Path;
  commitId?: String
}

Errors

  • VCSError to signal a generic, unrecoverable VCS error.
  • ProjectNotFound to signal that the requested project does not exist
  • VCSNotFound to signal that the project is not under Enso's version control
  • SaveNotFound to signat that the requested save could not be identified in the project's version control

Result

{
  changed: [Path];
}

vcs/list

This requests that the VCS manager component returns a list of project's saves.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server

By default, the operation will return all project's saves. An optional limit parameter will ensure that only the last limti ones are reported.

This request assumes that the project at a specified location exists and VCS has been initialized for it with vcs/init operation. If the project is not under Enso's version control system, the operation must fail.

Parameters

{
  root: Path;
  limit?: Number
}

Result

{
  saves: [
    {
      commitId: String;
      message: String;
    }
  ]
}

Errors

  • VCSError to signal a generic, unrecoverable VCS error.
  • ProjectNotFound to signal that the requested project does not exist
  • VCSNotFound to signal that the project is not under Enso's version control

Text Editing Operations

The language server also has a set of text editing operations to ensure that it stays in sync with the clients.

text/openFile

This requests the language server to open the specified file.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server
  • Connection: Protocol
  • Visibility: Public

If no client has write lock on the opened file, the capability is granted to the client that sent the text/openFile message.

Parameters

{
  path: Path;
}

Result

{
  writeCapability?: CapabilityRegistration;
  content: String;
  currentVersion: SHA3-224;
}

Errors

text/openBuffer

This requests the language server to open a specified in-memory buffer mapped to the provided path. If the path exists, this command behaves the same as text/openFile. If the path does not exist, the command creates empty in-memory buffer for the provided path.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server
  • Connection: Protocol
  • Visibility: Public

If no client has write lock on the opened file, the capability is granted to the client that sent the text/openBuffer message. The in-memory buffers can be used to define hidden modules with visualization functions. In a nutshell, the request behaves the same as text/openFile but does not require the file to exist.

Parameters

{
  path: Path;
}

Result

{
  writeCapability?: CapabilityRegistration;
  content: String;
  currentVersion: SHA3-224;
}

Errors

text/closeFile

This requests the language server to close the specified file.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server
  • Connection: Protocol
  • Visibility: Public

Any pending changes to files will be saved before closing the file.

Parameters

{
  path: Path;
}

Result

null;

Errors

text/save

This requests for the language server to save the specified file.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server
  • Connection: Protocol
  • Visibility: Public

The request may fail if the requesting client does not have permission to edit that file, or if the client is requesting a save of an outdated version. Note that language-server autosaves changes to the file, making this operation obsolete.

Parameters

{
  path: Path;
  currentVersion: SHA3 - 224;
}

Result

null;

Errors

text/applyEdit

This requests that the server apply a series of edits to the project. These edits solely concern text files.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server
  • Connection: Protocol
  • Visibility: Public

This operation may fail if the requesting client does not have permission to edit the resources for which edits are sent. This failure may be partial, in that some edits are applied and others are not.

Parameters

{
  /** The file edit. */
  edit: FileEdit;

  /** The flag indicating whether we should re-execute the program after
    * applying the edit. Default value is `true`, to re-execute the program.
    */
  execute?: boolean;
}

Result

null;

Errors

text/applyExpressionValue

This requests to set an expression to a new value. For example, it can update a literal value, like changing 98 to 99, true to false or "Hello" to "World!". This method is a more specific version of text/applyEdit and guarantees that the syntax tree is not changed after applying the edit. This way the engine can perform a more efficient value swap instead of reparsing and recompiling the whole module.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server
  • Connection: Protocol
  • Visibility: Public

This operation may fail if the requesting client does not have permission to edit the resources for which edits are sent.

Parameters

interface TextApplyExpressionValue {
  /** The expression id to update. */
  expressionId: ExpressionId;

  /** The path to a file. */
  path: Path;

  /** The file edit containing the new expression value. */
  edit: TextEdit;

  /** The current version of a buffer. */
  oldVersion: SHA3-224;

  /** The version of a buffer after applying the edit. */
  newVersion: SHA3-224;
}

Result

null;

Errors

    ^^^^^^^^^

Expression id in the request should point to the left hand side symbol of the assignment.

Module method
function1 x = x
^^^^^^^^^

main =
    operator1 = Main.function1 42

Expression id in the request should point to the symbol defining the function.

Current limitations of the method renaming are:

  • Methods defined on types are not supported, i.e.

    Main.function1 x = x

  • Method calls where the self type is not specified will not be renamed, i.e.

    function1 x = x

main =
    operator1 = function1 42

Parameters

{
  /**
   * The qualified module name.
   */
  module: string;

  /**
   * The symbol to rename.
   */
  expressionId: ExpressionId;

  /**
   * The new name of the symbol. If the provided name is not a valid Enso
   * identifier (contains unsupported symbols, spaces, etc.), it will be normalized.
   * The final name will be returned in the response.

   * New display name of the project.
   */
  newName: string;
}

Errors

None

Execution Management Operations

The execution management portion of the language server API deals with exposing fine-grained control over program and expression execution to the clients of the language server. This is incredibly important for enabling the high levels of interactivity required by Enso Studio.

Execution Management Example

Given the default project structure.

├── package.yaml
└── src
    └── Main.enso

$ cat src/Main.enso

main =
    x = 6
    y = x.foo 5
    z = y + 5
    z

Number.foo = x ->
    y = this + 3
    z = y * x
    z

      "registerOptions": {
        "contextId": "1eb5ad04-4094-4c1f-be54-e9d29ddf19a3"
      }
    },
    "receivesUpdates": {
      "method": "executionContext/receivesUpdates",
      "registerOptions": {
        "contextId": "1eb5ad04-4094-4c1f-be54-e9d29ddf19a3"
      }
    }
  }
}

Push Item

Entering the main method. First item on the stack should always be an ExplicitCall.

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "executionContext/push",
  "id": 0,
  "params": {
    "contextId": "1eb5ad04-4094-4c1f-be54-e9d29ddf19a3",
    "stackItem": {
      "type": "ExplicitCall",
      "methodPointer": {
        "file": {
          "rootId": "18f642a2-5f69-4fc8-add6-13bf199ca326",
          "segments": ["src", "Main.enso"]
        },
        "definedOnType": "Main",
        "name": "main"
      },
      "thisArgumentExpression": null,
      "positionalArgumentsExpressions": []
    }
  }
}

Returns successful reponse.

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 0,
  "result": null
}

And a value update, result of the method foo call defined on type Number.

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "executionContext/expressionValuesComputed",
  "params": {
    "contextId": "1eb5ad04-4094-4c1f-be54-e9d29ddf19a3",
    "updates": [
      {
        "id": "37f284d4-c593-4e65-a4be-4948fbd2adfb",
        "type": "Number",
        "shortValue": "45",
        "methodCall": {
          "file": {
            "rootId": "18f642a2-5f69-4fc8-add6-13bf199ca326",
            "segments": ["src", "Main.enso"]
          },
          "definedOnType": "Number",
          "name": "foo"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

We can go deeper and evaluate the method foo call by pushing the LocalCall on the stack. In general, all consequent stack items should be LocalCalls.

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "executionContext/push",
  "id": 0,
  "params": {
    "contextId": "1eb5ad04-4094-4c1f-be54-e9d29ddf19a3",
    "stackItem": {
      "type": "LocalCall",
      "expressionId": "37f284d4-c593-4e65-a4be-4948fbd2adfb"
    }
  }
}

Returns successful response.

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 0,
  "result": null
}

And update of some value inside the function foo.

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "executionContext/expressionValuesComputed",
  "params": {
    "contextId": "1eb5ad04-4094-4c1f-be54-e9d29ddf19a3",
    "updates": [
      {
        "id": "1cda3676-bd62-41f8-b6a1-a1e1b7c73d18",
        "type": "Number",
        "shortValue": "9",
        "methodCall": null
      }
    ]
  }
}

Pop Item

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "executionContext/pop",
  "id": 0,
  "params": {
    "contextId": "1eb5ad04-4094-4c1f-be54-e9d29ddf19a3"
  }
}

Popping one item will return us into the main method. Second call will clear the stack. Subsequent pop calls will result in an error indicating that the stack is empty.

Library-Related Operations

The library-related operations provide the Language Server with capabilities to check and modify project's edition settings, list editions published in a given edition, create local library projects which can be imported in the currently opened project and publish them.

editions/listAvailable

Lists editions available on the system.

Moreover, if update is set to true, it will download any new editions from the repositories and include them in the result as well.

Currently, if update was true but some downloads failed, the endpoint will still return a success, just containing the editions that were already available. In the future it should emit warnings using proper notification channels.

Parameters

{
  update: Boolean;
}

Result

{
  editionNames: [String];
}

editions/resolve

Resolves settings implied by the edition.

Currently, it only resolves the engine version, as only it is needed, but other settings may be added if necessary.

Parameters

{
  edition: EditionReference;
}

Result

{
  engineVersion: String;
}

Errors

  • EditionNotFoundError indicates that the requested edition, or some edition referenced in the ancestors of the edition being resolved, could not be found.
  • FileSystemError to signal a generic, unrecoverable file-system error.

editions/getProjectSettings

Returns the currently set edition-related settings of the project.

Currently, it only returns the parent edition and local library preference. Once more advanced edition settings are to be supported in the IDE, this endpoint will be extended.

Parameters

null;

Result

{
    parentEdition?: String;
    preferLocalLibraries: Boolean;
}

The parentEdition may be missing if it is not set. It is possible to manually edit the pacakge.yaml and generate a valid edition config that does not specify a parent edition.

editions/setProjectParentEdition

Sets the parent edition of the project to a specific edition.

This change may even change the version of the engine associated with the project, so for the changes to take effect, the language server may need to be restarted. The endpoint only modifies the pacakge.yaml file, which is preloaded in the Language Server, so it is IDE's responsibility to re-open the project.

It returns an optional field needsRestart which specifies whether the Language Server needs to be restarted for the change to take effect. If the field is missing, it should be treated as set to false. In the current version it is always set to true.

Parameters

{
  newEditionName: String;
}

Result

{
    needsRestart?: Boolean;
}

Errors

editions/setProjectLocalLibrariesPreference

Sets the prefer-local-libraries setting of the project, which specifies if libraries from ENSO_HOME/libraries should take precedence over the ones defined in the edition.

This may change which libraries should be loaded in the project. In the future it may be possible that this reload could happen dynamically, however currently, the language server needs to be restarted (in the same way as for editions/setProjectParentEdition) for the changes to take effect.

It returns an optional field needsRestart which specifies whether the Language Server needs to be restarted for the change to take effect. If the field is missing, it should be treated as set to false. In the current version it is always set to true.

Parameters

{
  preferLocalLibraries: Boolean;
}

Result

{
    needsRestart?: Boolean;
}

Errors

editions/listDefinedLibraries

Lists all libraries defined in an edition (or all of its parents).

This can be used to display which libraries can be downloaded / added to the project.

This does not include local libraries not defined explicitly in the project's edition, even if they can be resolved as per prefer-local-libraries setting. To get local libraries that are not directly referenced in the edition, use library/listLocal instead.

Parameters

{
  edition: EditionReference;
}

Result

{
  availableLibraries: [LibraryEntry];
}

Errors

  • EditionNotFoundError indicates that the requested edition, or an edition referenced in one of its parents, could not be found.
  • FileSystemError to signal a generic, unrecoverable file-system error.

editions/listDefinedComponents

Lists all the component groups defined in an edition.

Parameters

{
  edition: EditionReference;
}

Result

{
  availableComponents: LibraryComponentGroup[];
}

Errors

  • EditionNotFoundError indicates that the requested edition, or an edition referenced in one of its parents, could not be found.
  • FileSystemError to signal a generic, unrecoverable file-system error.

library/listLocal

Lists all local libraries available in the system.

Parameters

null;

Result

{
  localLibraries: [LibraryEntry];
}

Errors

library/create

Creates a new project package, but placed not in the projects directory, but in the local libraries directory, so that other projects (including the current one) that can resolve local libraries will be able to import it.

The created library package inherits all edition settings from the current project.

The endpoint just returns an empty message at success. Once this operation finishes, the IDE can add the import import <namespace>.<name> to the open file which will import the newly created library (the IDE must also ensure that prefer-local-libraries is set to true or otherwise, it must add a proper override to its own edition file to see this local library). Once the import is added, the library will be loaded and its content root will be sent in a file/rootAdded notification.

Parameters

{
  namespace: String;
  name: String;
  authors: [Contact];
  maintainers: [Contact];
  license: String;
}

Result

null;

Errors

library/getMetadata

Gets metadata associated with a specific library version.

If the version is LocalLibraryVersion, it will try to read the manifest file of the local library and return an empty result if the manifest does not exist.

If the version is PublishedLibraryVersion, it will fetch the manifest from the library repository. A cached manifest may also be used, if it is available.

All returned fields are optional, as they may be missing.

Parameters

{
  namespace: String;
  name: String;
  version: LibraryVersion;
}

Results

{
  description?: String;
  tagLine?: String;
}

Errors

  • LocalLibraryNotFound to signal that a local library with the given name does not exist on the local libraries path.
  • InvalidSemverVersion to signal that the provided version string is not a valid semver version.
  • FileSystemError to signal a generic, unrecoverable file-system error.

library/setMetadata

Sets metadata associated with a local library that will be used for publishing.

All metadata fields are optional. If a field is not set in the parameters, it will be removed from the metadata (if it was present before).

Parameters

{
  namespace: String;
  name: String;

Errors

  • LocalLibraryNotFound to signal that a local library with the given name does not exist on the local libraries path.
  • FileSystemError to signal a generic, unrecoverable file-system error.

library/getPackage

Gets the package config associated with a specific library version.

If the version is LocalLibraryVersion, it will try to read the package file of the local library and return an empty result if the manifest does not exist.

If the version is PublishedLibraryVersion, it will fetch the package config from the library repository. A cached package config may also be used, if it is available.

All returned fields are optional, as they may be missing.

Parameters

{
  namespace: String;
  name: String;
  version: LibraryVersion;
}

Results

{
  license?: String;
  componentGroups?: LibraryComponentGroups;
}

Errors

  • LocalLibraryNotFound to signal that a local library with the given name does not exist on the local libraries path.
  • InvalidSemverVersion to signal that the provided version string is not a valid semver version.
  • FileSystemError to signal a generic, unrecoverable file-system error.

library/publish

Publishes a library located in the local libraries directory to the main Enso library repository.

If bumpVersionAfterPublish is set to true, after publishing the library, its version is bumped automatically, so that future publications will not clash versions. This is a temporary solution and in the longer-term it should be replaced with separate settings allowing to arbitrarily modify the library version from the IDE.

The uploadUrl is the URL of the library repository that accepts library uploads.

The metadata for publishing the library can be set with library/setMetadata. If it was not set, the publish operation will still proceed, but that metadata will be missing.

Parameters

{
  namespace: String;
  name: String;
  authToken: String;
  uploadUrl: String;

  bumpVersionAfterPublish?: Boolean;
}

Result

null;

Errors

library/preinstall

Ensures that the requested library and all of its (transitive) dependencies, at versions as resolved by the current project's edition, are downloaded.

Once this operation completes, the library import can be added to the project and it is guaranteed that (unless there were unexpected changes to the system, like files being manually deleted) no further downloads will be needed, so that the import should load quickly.

This can be used by the IDE to predownload the library that is about to be added to a project, to avoid freezing the compiler for the time the dependencies are being downloaded.

While this operation is in progress, multiple series of task/* notifications may be sent, indicating progress of particular components being downloaded and installed.

Parameters

{
  namespace: String;
  name: String;
}

Result

null;

Errors

  • LibraryNotResolved to signal that the requested library or one of its dependencies could not be resolved.
  • DependencyDiscoveryError to signal that dependencies of the library could not be established.
  • LibraryDownloadError to signal that the download operation has failed, for network-related reasons, or because the library was missing in the repository. The error includes the name and version of the library that failed to download - as when preinstalling a specific library the failure may be tied not to that library itself but also one of its dependencies.
  • FileSystemError to signal a generic, unrecoverable file-system error.

Runtime Operations

runtime/getComponentGroups

Sent from the client to the server to get the list of component groups available in runtime.

The engine is started with an empty list of libraries loaded. It means that the request should be sent after the first executionContext/executionComplete notification indicating that all the libraries are loaded, and the component group list is populated. If the request is sent before the first notification, the response may be empty or not contain all available components.

  • Type: Request
  • Direction: Client -> Server
  • Connection: Protocol
  • Visibility: Public

Parameters

null;

Result

{
  componentGroups: LibraryComponentGroup[];
}

Errors

None

Errors

The language server component also has its own set of errors. This section is not a complete specification and will be updated as new errors are added.

Besides the required code and message fields, the errors may have a data field which can store additional error-specific payload.

Error

An error container for the binary connection that contains a code, message and payload.

namespace org.enso.languageserver.protocol.binary;

table Error {
  // A unique error code identifying error type.
  code: int;

  // An error message.
  message: string (required);

  // Additional payloads for the error.
  data : ErrorPayload;
}

union ErrorPayload {
  ...
}

Note:

  • The union ErrorPayload will be extended with additional payloads as necessary.
  • All textual-protocol errors can be represented using this structure.
