Hi,
On my Gentoo Linux I am using NeoVim in combination with the NVChad setup. I activated Treesitter for Zig (:TSInstall zig)…but had no luck in setting up for example lsp-config for it.
Any help is very appreciated to make NeoVim/NVChad a totally ziggified 
editor…
Cheers!

I’m not familiar with NVChad, but in my init.vim I’m using vim-plug as plugin manager, lsp and nvim-cmp for completion. Relevant bits:
The following Plug lines go between the call plug#begin() and call plug#end() lines.
Zig syntax, formatting, etc.
Plug 'ziglang/zig.vim'
for LSP / nvim-cmp completion:
Plug 'neovim/nvim-lspconfig'
Plug 'hrsh7th/nvim-cmp'
Plug 'hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lsp'
Plug 'hrsh7th/cmp-buffer'
Plug 'hrsh7th/cmp-path'
Plug 'hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lua'
Plug 'hrsh7th/cmp-vsnip'
Plug 'hrsh7th/vim-vsnip'
Do a :PlugInstall and restart nvim for plugins ti kick-in.
Then for LSP to work with ZLS (installed separately):
lua <<EOF
-- Setup nvim-cmp.
local cmp = require'cmp'
cmp.setup({
snippet = {
expand = function(args)
vim.fn["vsnip#anonymous"](args.body) -- For `vsnip` users.
end,
},
mapping = {
['<Tab>'] = cmp.mapping.select_next_item({ behavior = cmp.SelectBehavior.Insert }),
['<S-Tab>'] = cmp.mapping.select_prev_item({ behavior = cmp.SelectBehavior.Insert }),
['<C-d>'] = cmp.mapping.scroll_docs(-4),
['<C-f>'] = cmp.mapping.scroll_docs(4),
['<C-Space>'] = cmp.mapping.complete(),
['<C-e>'] = cmp.mapping.close(),
['<CR>'] = cmp.mapping.confirm({ select = true }),
},
sources = cmp.config.sources({
{ name = 'nvim_lsp' },
{ name = 'vsnip' }, -- For vsnip users.
}, {
{ name = 'path' },
{ name = 'buffer', keyword_length = 3 },
})
})
-- Setup lspconfig.
local capabilities = require('cmp_nvim_lsp').update_capabilities(vim.lsp.protocol.make_client_capabilities())
require('lspconfig').zls.setup {
capabilities = capabilities
}
EOF
I cloned the ZLS repo and compiled it locally. Then I put a symlink to the zls binary in /usr/local/bin so it’s in the executable PATH. Hope this helps.
PS- I’m on macos by the way. It should also work on Linux.
Hi dude_the_builder,
Thank you VERY much for all the configuration help!!! 
Unfortunately it looks quite different to how “NvChad does it”…and I am quite new
to all the NeoVim-with-lua stuff. NvChad uses some different plugins for the same
task so I need to figure out how to prevent a clash.
Cheers!

Hi,
some intermediate results from my side (NO “final solution” … only one step).
The installation of NvChad isn’t customized by me via …/lua/custom/.lua.
I only did a
:TSInstall zig
which installs the Zig-relevant stuff of TreeSitter and I did a
:MasonInstall zls
to install the ZLS languageserver for Zig.
When I will find out more, I will post it here.
Cheers!

The problem I found with that is that you have no control over which version of zls is used. For example at the moment, mason installs zls 0.11 (for zig 0.11 / stable release); if you want to use the dev version of zig, zls might not always be correct.
You can use your custom built zls-dev with nvchad.
I followed this setup guide for a golsp first.
When you follow instructions,
you’ll end up having a config file on path ~/.config/nvim/lua/custom/configs/lspconfig.lua
I plugged following lines into there.
lspconfig.zls.setup {
on_attach = on_attach,
capabilities = capabilities,
cmd = {"zls"},
filetypes = { "zig", "zon" },
root_dir = util.root_pattern("zls.json", "build.zig", ".git")
}
You should have now a working zls.
I use lazy-lsp personally GitHub - dundalek/lazy-lsp.nvim: Neovim plugin to auto install LSP servers
nixos-flake/modules/neovim.nix at master · Cloudef/nixos-flake · GitHub
Here is how my zig config looks like:
I use Debian and Nvim+Astronvim (so lazyvim for plugin management).
I had to install llvm and lldb, then I was able to find the lldb-vscode-16.
With dap-ui, I also was able to enter the debugging ui and could do the step by step debugging.
