Spawning language server with cmd: `lua-language-server`

Question

I've recently transferred from Packer plugin manager to Lazy.

Utilizing LSP, LspConfig, Mason, MasonLspConfig with several language servers for programming.

The problem is that Neovim is having troubles accessing these servers. It worked with the Packer package manager. Maybe I misconfigured something, but I'm clueless what the issue might be.

The language servers are installed and added to PATH.

Spawning language server with cmd: `lua-language-server` failed with error message: EACCES: permission denied

"lua-language-server" command as such is callable.

I'm using Fish shell as a default shell.

Here is my plugin configuration file:

After I rebooted the system, the lsp-config detected the lua-language-server. My guess is that the PATH wasn't properly sourced.

For anyone having similar issues - make sure you have the language servers installed, added to the PATH correctly, and don't forget to source your config file with variables.

Here are my variables for the lua-language-server and gopls server in the fish shell format:

# Lua
set -gx PATH ~/.config/lsp/lua-language-server/bin $PATH

# Go
set -gx GOPATH ~/go
set -gx PATH /usr/local/go/bin $PATH
set -gx PATH $GOPATH/bin $PATH

And here they are in the bash format:

# Lua
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.config/lsp/lua-language-server/bin

# Go
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
