lspeasy / core/src / buildServerCommand

Function: buildServerCommand()

function buildServerCommand(entry): string;

Defined in: packages/core/src/discover.ts:79

Build the full spawn command string for an lsp.json entry: entry.command is itself tokenized (via tokenizeCommand) before being combined with entry.args, so a command field that embeds flags (e.g. "typescript-language-server --stdio" with no separate args array) still splits into separate argv tokens instead of collapsing into one bogus binary name once re-quoted below. The common case — a bare executable name/path with no embedded spaces — tokenizes to a single token, unchanged from before.

Caveat: because entry.command is tokenized on whitespace, a legitimately space-containing executable path (not embedded flags) must itself be quoted in lsp.json (e.g. "\"/path with spaces/my-server\"") or it will be split into multiple bogus tokens — the same requirement a real shell would impose.
