lsp-command-not-in-path
LSP server commands should be in PATH or use absolute paths
Rule Details
This rule checks each LSP server entry in lsp.json for its command field and warns when the command does not start with / (absolute path) or ./ (explicit relative path). Commands that rely on being in the system PATH may fail in environments where PATH is configured differently, such as CI systems, containers, or other developers' machines.
Incorrect
Server command relies on PATH resolution
{
"typescript-server": {
"command": "typescript-language-server --stdio"
}
}Correct
Server command uses absolute path
{
"typescript-server": {
"command": "/usr/local/bin/typescript-language-server --stdio"
}
}Server command uses explicit relative path
{
"typescript-server": {
"command": "./node_modules/.bin/typescript-language-server --stdio"
}
}How To Fix
Replace bare command names with absolute paths (e.g., /usr/local/bin/my-server) or explicit relative paths (e.g., ./node_modules/.bin/my-server). You can find the absolute path with which <command>.
Options
This rule does not have any configuration options.
When Not To Use It
Disable this rule if you have consistent PATH configuration across all environments and prefer shorter command references.
