References and definition not working yet. Since ansible resolves same files as yaml LS, we will need to add disambiguation later.
Work in progress, improvements on the language server itself are being worked on, ansible support in Serena will be extended accordingly in the future.
Integrates the Nomic Foundation @nomicfoundation/solidity-language-server
as a new Language.SOLIDITY backend (experimental). Supports .sol files with
go-to-definition, find references, document symbols, hover, and diagnostics.
The server is automatically installed via npm on first use.
feat: add configurable project_serena_folder_location setting
Add a new `project_serena_folder_location` setting to `serena_config.yml` that allows configuring where the per-project `.serena` data folder (memories, caches) is stored, with `$projectDir` and `$projectFolderName` placeholder support (default: `$projectDir/.serena`, preserving current behavior).

- Add "Per-Project Configuration" section to JetBrains plugin docs
with cross-reference anchor for linking from other pages
- Add language_backend to project configuration feature list in workflow docs
- Add cross-reference from global config docs to per-project override
- Move language_backend field from ProjectConfig to SharedConfig,
following the same pattern as symbol_info_budget (review feedback)

* feat(scala): Add stale lock detection for Metals H2 database
Add detection and automatic cleanup of stale Metals H2 database locks
to improve multi-instance support. When a Metals process crashes without
proper cleanup, it can leave a lock file that prevents proper AUTO_SERVER
coordination with new instances.
Changes:
- Add metals_db_utils.py with detection logic for stale locks
- Add StaleLockMode enum (auto-clean/warn/fail) for configurable behavior
- Add MetalsStaleLockError exception for fail mode
- Integrate stale lock checking into ScalaLanguageServer init
- Add configuration options: on_stale_lock, log_multi_instance_notice
- Add comprehensive unit tests for detection logic
This enhancement allows Serena's Metals to coexist with VS Code or other
editors running Metals on the same project, with proper handling of edge
cases like crashed processes.
* test(scala): Add integration tests for stale lock handling modes
Add 7 integration tests for ScalaLanguageServer stale lock detection:
- AUTO_CLEAN mode cleans stale locks and proceeds
- WARN mode logs warning without cleanup
- FAIL mode raises MetalsStaleLockError
- ACTIVE_INSTANCE logs info when notice enabled
- ACTIVE_INSTANCE silent when notice disabled
- NO_DATABASE proceeds silently
- NO_LOCK proceeds silently
Tests use mocking to avoid requiring Java/Coursier/Metals.
* docs(scala): Add multi-instance and stale lock documentation
Document Metals multi-instance support via H2 AUTO_SERVER:
- Explain how multiple Metals instances share database and Bloop
- Document memory considerations (~500MB per JVM)
- Add stale lock detection configuration options
- Document on_stale_lock modes (auto-clean, warn, fail)
- Add YAML configuration examples
* docs: Clean up docs
Removed memory considerations and additional configuration sections from the Scala setup guide.
* refactor(scala): Extract settings helper and add module-level constants
- Add DEFAULT_METALS_VERSION, DEFAULT_CLIENT_NAME, DEFAULT_ON_STALE_LOCK,
DEFAULT_LOG_MULTI_INSTANCE_NOTICE constants to eliminate duplication
- Extract _get_scala_settings() pure function for centralized settings parsing
- Remove redundant cleanup_stale_lock import
- Add warning log when AUTO_CLEAN mode fails to remove stale lock
- Simplify lock path handling with ternary expression
This refactoring improves code maintainability by centralizing Scala
settings extraction and applying functional programming principles.
* chore(scala): fix typo in docstring and comments
- Introduce PHP_PHPACTOR enum and integration in ls_config
- Implement PhpactorServer for PHP with dependency management
- Update docs and changelog for Phpactor support and usage
- Add project template entry for php_phpactor
- Provide tests for Phpactor LSP definition and reference features
Fixes longstanding clangd issues (wrong selectionRange, failure to take compile_commands.json into account) and enhances documentation about C/C++ support
Modes can now be configured in three places (in reverse order of precedence)
* global config
* project config
* command line
Furthermore, we differentiate base modes from default modes,
where command line parameters override only default modes,
adding more flexibility
Resolves#926
