utils/plugins/lspRecommendation.ts
π― Use case
This file lives under βutils/β, which covers cross-cutting helpers (shell, tempfiles, settings, messages, process input, β¦). On the API surface it exposes LspPluginRecommendation, getMatchingLspPlugins, addToNeverSuggest, incrementIgnoredCount, and isLspRecommendationsDisabled (and more) β mainly functions, hooks, or classes. Dependencies touch Node path helpers. It composes internal code from binaryCheck, config, debug, installedPluginsManager, and marketplaceManager (relative imports). What the file header says: LSP Plugin Recommendation Utility Scans installed marketplaces for LSP plugins and recommends plugins based on file extensions, but ONLY when the LSP binary is already installed on the system. Limitation: Can only detect LSP plugins that declare their servers inline in the market.
Generated from folder role, exports, dependency roots, and inline comments β not hand-reviewed for every path.
π§ Inline summary
LSP Plugin Recommendation Utility Scans installed marketplaces for LSP plugins and recommends plugins based on file extensions, but ONLY when the LSP binary is already installed on the system. Limitation: Can only detect LSP plugins that declare their servers inline in the marketplace entry. Plugins with separate .lsp.json files are not detectable until after installation.
