Python workspace symbols

[robyoung]

Context

I have just started trying out helix today. I have configured pylsp and it seems to be working for finding symbols within a file and auo-importing symbols from the wider workspace. However, when I try <space>-S (Open workspace symbol picker) I get the following message in red at the bottom of the screen "No configured language server supports workspace symbols".

I have tried with both pylsp and pyright to no avail.

Question

How can I configure workspace symbols to work with pylsp?

Configuration

~/.config/helix/config.toml

theme = "onedark"

[editor]
line-number = "relative"

[keys.normal]
A-s = ":w" # Save with Alt-s

pylsp ~/.config/helix/languages.toml

[[language]]
name = "python"
language-servers = ["pylsp"]
roots = [".git"]
workspace-lsp-roots = ["apps/api", "."]
auto-format = true

[language-server.pylsp.config.pylsp]
plugins.pyls_mypy.enabled = true
plugins.pyls_mypy.live_mode = true
plugins.rope_autoimport.enabled = true

pyright ~/.config/helix/languages.toml

[[language]]
name = "python"
language-servers = ["pyright"]
formatters = ["ruff"]
roots = [".git"]
workspace-lsp-roots = ["apps/api", "."]
auto-format = true

Additional

I have pylsp installed with pipx. I have installed the following packages in the virtualenv.

• python-lsp-server[all]
• pylsp-mypy
• python-lsp-ruff

Pyright is also installed with pipx with no additional packages.

LSP health is this for pylsp

And this for pyright

python language servers just don't support this feature there is nothing you can do about that (except writing a better lsp). Python tooling is generally pretty subpar compared to other languages

it also seems workspace diagnostic picker (space D) opens the window but doesn't detect diagnostics from other files
