In the following scenario:
What happens from time to time is that LSP server (in my case clangd) started more than once. With more than one running clangd process, YouCompleteMe does not work at all, because it tries to use a server that is not initialized - initialize request was sent to another one. Workaround: quit vim, kill ycmd and clangd processes, start vim again.
The way I fixed it is that
_server_started
is only accessed within_server_info_mutex
and only the first thread callsStartServer()
. Note that it required to partially revert #1434. Given that_server_started
is now accessed only within the mutex, it does not make any sense for_AwaitServerMessages
to access it. For additional rationale about it, see 6b6084a commit message.This change is
