Language Server Protocol para Synesis v1.1

Synesis LSP

Real-time validation and language features for Synesis v1.1 files.

A Language Server Protocol (LSP) implementation that provides diagnostics and editor features for Synesis projects in VSCode and other compatible editors.

Overview

Synesis LSP is a protocol adapter: it does not re-implement parsing or semantics. All validation is delegated to the Synesis compiler, and the server focuses on translating compiler output into LSP diagnostics and features.

Features

• Real-time syntax and semantic validation (template rules, REQUIRED/OPTIONAL, BUNDLE, ARITY)
• Pedagogical diagnostics with clear explanations
• Automatic discovery of templates and bibliography
• Fuzzy matching for missing bibrefs
• Full support for .syn, .synp, .synt, .syno
• Semantic tokens for syntax highlighting
• Document symbols (SOURCE/ITEM/ONTOLOGY)
• Hover, completion, and inlay hints
• Go-to-definition and rename (bibrefs and codes)
• Relation graph generation (Mermaid)

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Synesis compiler installed

Installation

From PyPI

pip install synesis
pip install synesis-lsp

From Source

git clone https://github.com/synesis-lang/synesis.git
git clone https://github.com/synesis-lang/synesis-lsp.git

pip install -e synesis
pip install -e synesis-lsp

Usage

Standalone Server

python -m synesis_lsp

The server communicates via STDIO.

VSCode

The Synesis Explorer extension manages the LSP server automatically.

Synesis Workspace Requirements

For full semantic validation, the workspace should contain:

• A project file *.synp (required)
• A template *.synt referenced by the .synp
• Bibliography *.bib, annotations *.syn, and ontologies *.syno as needed

Notes:

• Multiple .synt files may exist, but the only valid one is the template referenced by .synp.
• Without a .synp, the LSP provides only syntax validation and grammar keywords.

Tests

pytest --cov=synesis_lsp tests/

Development Notes

• This LSP is a protocol adapter; do not implement parsing/semantics here.
• All validation must use synesis.lsp_adapter.validate_single_file.
• Always convert SourceLocation (1-based) to LSP Range (0-based).
• If you change error/result contracts, update INTERFACES.md and converters.py.
• Keep the server resilient: exceptions must become diagnostics, never crashes.

Advanced Features

• Custom commands: synesis/loadProject, synesis/getProjectStats, synesis/getReferences, synesis/getCodes, synesis/getRelations, synesis/getRelationGraph
• Cross-file features (hover, definition, completion, rename, graph) depend on the workspace cache loaded via synesis/loadProject

Troubleshooting

Error: "Package 'synesis' not found"

pip install synesis

LSP does not validate after editing

1. Check logs: Output → Synesis LSP in VSCode
2. Reload window: Ctrl+Shift+P → "Reload Window"
3. Ensure the .synp references the correct template and bibliography
4. Look for log messages like: Projeto Synesis carregado, Template carregado, Bibliografia carregada

Incorrect diagnostics

The LSP uses the compiler output. If a diagnostic is wrong:

1. Test with CLI: synesis check arquivo.syn
2. If CLI also reports it, the bug is in the compiler
3. Report in the compiler issue tracker
