can i get some help on writing my own library annotation?

[haolian9]

sorry to ask a broad question, but i really have no idea why my annotations (can be found here) not work, and it has bothered me for two weeks.
i created the library annotation according to this wiki and vifm's lua api doc, and added it to lua-language-server's config like following, i can assure the path is correct.

settings = {
  Lua = {
    runtime = { version = "LuaJIT", fileEncoding = { "utf8" }, builtin = "enable" },
    diagnostics = {
      enable = true,
      globals = { "vim", "vifm" },
    },
    workspace = {
      maxPreload = 0,
      checkThirdParty = false,
      library = (function()
        local mylocals = fs.joinpath(vim.fn.stdpath("config"), "lua/locals")
        return {
          fs.joinpath(mylocals, "stubs/vifm"),
        }
      end)(),
    },
  },
},

can someone give me some hints to make it work?

never mind, i'll figure it out once i find time.

i managed to know that moving the emmylua annotation library outside ~/.config/nvim then lua-language-server would recognize this lib correctly, that's rather weird.

i tried to put the lib in ~/.config/nvim/{$here,lua/$here}, none of them makes lua-language-server happy.

I had to specify --configpath=/home/xaizek/tmp/lsp.lua with such contents to get it working:

 return {
    Lua = {
       workspace = {
            userThirdParty= {  '/home/xaizek/tmp/3rd'  }
        }
    }
}

I think config passed to lua-language-server by vim.lsp was ignored or wasn't actually passed.

thanks for the hint.
as i commented above, i managed to know that's a directory issue which is caused by an unknown behavior of lua-language-server. i finally made it by put these files in here.
