May you show how to create a Latex spec file?

Description

I tried unsuccessfully to create a spec file for https://github.com/latex-lsp/texlab, to add Latex LSP support.

No matter what I try, the Latex lsp server (as indicated in the LSP status bar) is always missing. I have installed texlab, and added a simple spec such as the following (in a few variations)

{
  "LanguageServerManager": {
    "language_servers": {
      "latex": {
        "languages": ["latex"],
        "argv": ["/path/to/texlab", "--stdio"]
      }
    }
  }
}

I added it to </path/to/environment>/etc/jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.d/latex-lsp.json

I tried with the Advanced settings in JupyterLab.

Nothing seems to help. This is more of a POC for me, but I would really like to understand how things are working and why I am not able to control the settings.

Thanks for any help!

Funny you mention this… I might be close to getting texlab packaged for conda-forge (windows takes a long time):

https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/pull/12029

Even if you don’t want to install it that way, it will help if we can find one configuration that works which we can “semi officially” support, with docs and tests on multiple platforms, and keep up-to-date.

Once that’s in, I’ll be able to open a pr here!

This was released as part of v1.1.2. The documentation has been updated as well, so I think we can close this! Please reopen if you run into any issues!
