nvim-yawn

YAWN stands for Yet Another Workspace for Neovim.

This is my own implementation of a directory scoped project workspace. It was designed as a solution for nvim-dap and nvim-lspconfig/pyright to use project-scoped Python virtual environments rather than system default version.

Installation

Install it as a plugin using your favorite package manager.

Example

python-dap Python executable

Lua code

local yawn = require("yawn")

dap.configurations.python = {
  {
    type = "python",
    request = "launch",
    name = "Launch",
    program = function()
      return yawn.get("python.debug.debugee", "${file}")
    end,
    pythonPath = function()
      return yawn.get("python.interpreter", "python")
    end
  },
}

./.nvim/workspace.lua

return {
  ["python"] = {
    ["interpreter"] = "./venv/bin/python3",
  },
}

dap.configurations.python will result in:

{
  [...]
  program = "${file}"
  pythonPath = "./venv/bin/python3"
}

pyright with nvim-lspconfig

Below configuration will update pyright LSP server configuration to use the virtual environment if it exists.

local yawn = require "yawn"

lspconfig.pyright.setup {
  on_init = function(client, _)
    if yawn.python.has_venv() then
      client.config.settings.python.pythonPath = yawn.python.find_interpreter()
      client.config.settings.python.venvPath = yawn.python.find_venv()
      client.notify "workspace/didChangeConfiguration"
    end
  end,
  [...]
}

Integrations

Python

yawn.python.has_venv()

Detects whether or not a virtual environment exists in the current directory. If python.venv.name is defined, it is assumed that a virtual environment exists. If python.venv.name is not defined, a virtual environment will be considered set if it follow the typical structure of a venv.

yawn.python.find_interpreter()

Find the interpreter whether a virtual environment is defined or not. If a virtual environment is defined and python.interpreter is defined in .yawn/workspace.lua then the virtual environment directory will be suffixed by python.interpreter. If no virtual environment is defined, python.interpreter will not be joined without any preceding path. python.interpreter defaults to "python"

yawn.python.find_venv()

Detects whether there is a virtual environment or not in the current working directory. If no virtual environment related options are defined in .yawn/workspace.lua, it assumes the following default values:

• python.interpreter = "python"
• python.venv.name = "venv"

Raises an error if the interpreter executable or the virtual environment folder does not exist.

Configuration

The workspace file should be stored in [project directory]/.yawn/workspace.lua. Those are not modifiable.
