Oh, I figure it out, I did this line to make helix editor works well with python lsp, in .bashrc:
export PATH="/home/zakaria/.local/venvs/jedi-env/bin:$PATH"

So it breaks a lot of things on my system

So, is this software an appimage or flatpak, or something you downloaded and installed? dnf search helix doesn’t return any results.

Nuh, not a flatpak app (it’s available btw), and it’s not available on openmandriva repos, so I download Pre-built binaries from its official website: Installation

You will probably need to ask them about it, then.

Oh, Hi, I figured it out how to solve my issue.
I created a new file .config/helix/languages.toml then adding this content to tell Helix where it can find the language servers:

[language-server.jedi-ls]
command = "/home/zakaria/.local/venvs/jedi-env/bin/jedi-language-server"

[language-server.ruff]
command = "/home/zakaria/.local/venvs/jedi-env/bin/ruff"

[language-server.pylsp]
command = "/home/zakaria/.local/venvs/jedi-env/bin/pylsp"

[[language]]
name = "python"
language-servers = ["ruff", "jedi-ls", "pylsp"]

Where /home/zakaria/.local/venvs/jedi-env it’s a venv folder contains the libraries I need. I hope it may help newcomers to Helix and using OpenMandriva :smile:

It would probably be better if someone packages it. That way users don’t have to search through the forum to get software they want to use to work properly.

I looked at it briefly. It is written in Rust so packaging it will be pretty time consuming for me, hopefully someone else picks it up.

Agree, especially the Flatpak version takes more space like 970.4 MB instead of 25.9 MB (not that huge but still waste space for me), that’s why I picked prebuilt binary of Helix from its official website. And I wish someday being able to package it to OpenMandriva (I’m new OpenMandriva user btw), but I’ll try to learn packaging ASAP

Rust packaging is probably going to be something you do when you have spent time packaging other things and are somewhat proficient.
