Cannot include CocConfig, fail to use compile_commands.json

See original GitHub issue

Issue

I’m running Coc.nvim in VIM8 and trying to use coc-clangd as the LSP for autocomplete. Autocomplete doesn’t seem to work for larger projects with dependencies spread across directories. It works fine with small projects where all .cpp and .h files are in the same directory.

I have created a compile_commands.json file with xcodebuild and xcpretty. But clangd doesn’t seem to use it. I have tried putting the .json file all throughout the project directory to no avail.

My :CocConfig is empty as directed by docs to avoid running clangd twice.

Should I be making config entries, and if so how do I do so and avoid the “You should remove it” error?
