Hi Community!

I seem to have misconfigured the LSP server (for Python specifically). I don’t get any error/warning highlighting and nothing shows up in the diagnostics panel even though:

- The status bar says “Initialized” and the list shows jedi-language-server. I had it to pylsp-language-server before but I changed it while trying to debug it.
- In the settings I have all the Disabled checkboxes unchecked (for completion, syntax, hover, diagnostics, etc)

Hover is working though.

Thanks for any help!

`jedi-language-server` does not provide any linting (code quality/correctness warning that go to diagnostics panel) except for syntax errors as jedi does not support it. You would want `pylsp-language-server` for this. You need to go to settings and change the priority of the servers.

Hi @krassowski , I uninstalled the Jedi server. Now “python-lsp-server (pylsp)” appears under “running”. I tried “pip install pylsp-language-server”, but there is no package with that name. Regardless, the behavior is just the same.

One more detail. I am getting warnings when editing a .py file, but not on the notebooks.

You may want to open an issue on [Sign in to GitHub · GitHub](https://github.com/jupyter-lsp/jupyterlab-lsp/issues/new/choose) maybe going through the reporting steps could help find something in the logs?

Tried a lot of things but I think this solved my problem. Jupyter lab Desktop.
