Does 'hover' need additional setup to make it work?

[nkakouros]

On the vs code page for this language server's plugin it says:

o get documentation for flags on hover (thanks to explainshell), run the explainshell Docker container:

docker run --rm --name bash-explainshell -p 5000:5000 chrismwendt/codeintel-bash-with-explainshell

And add this to your VS Code settings:

    "bashIde.explainshellEndpoint": "http://localhost:5000",

I am using neovim. I have 'go to declaration' and some diagnostics working. However, 'hover' does nothing. Should I follow extra steps to set it up or is it incompatible with neovim?

I'm not sure how you forward options in neovim. But you do need to run the docker image as explained and configure the explainshellEndpoin option.

Please let us know if you figure it out.

I'm using it in Sublime Text with Windows 10, it works fine untill I hover over a name (e.g kill) then it crashes:
Here I opened a .sh file and hovered over a name (kill), this is the log of the LSP client:

@nkakouros you need to export the enviroment variable EXPLAINSHELL_ENDPOINT to make it work on neovim.
export EXPLAINSHELL_ENDPOINT="http://localhost:5000"
Or inside init.vim:
let $EXPLAINSHELL_ENDPOINT = "http://localhost:5000"
