I don't set a mapping to format code because it is not something I do all the time. So previously, I used to have a command to format or range format as follows:

" format code
command! -range Format if <range> | exec 'lua vim.lsp.buf.range_formatting({ timeout_ms = 2000 })' | else | exec 'lua vim.lsp.buf.format({ timeout_ms = 2000 })' | endif

But Nvim now gives me this message:

vim.lsp.buf.range_formatting is deprecated, use vim.lsp.formatexpr or vim.lsp.buf.format > instead. See :h deprecated
This function will be removed in Nvim version 0.9.0
stack traceback:
        /usr/share/nvim/runtime/lua/vim/lsp/buf.lua:407: in function 'range_formatting'
        [string ":lua"]:1: in main chunk

How can I set a command (not a key mapping) to format the selected text, when there is any, or the entire buffer if not?

  • I see the docs have a range option for vim.lsp.buf.format but I couldn't make it work. Also, all examples I could find were for key mappings, not for a command. Apr 25 at 13:58

I would do:

command! -range Format if <range> | exec 'lua vim.lsp.buf.format({timeout_ms = 2000, range={["start"]={row=<line1>,col=0},["end"]={row=<line2>,col=0}}})' | else | exec 'lua vim.lsp.buf.format({ timeout_ms = 2000 })' | endif

    I'm assuming execute is because lua eats the |?

    To highlight the changes proposed I kept as much as I could the proposed solution. I didn't test without the execute but you are right it could be that the lua eats the |. Apr 26 at 13:01
  • I'm getting an error: attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value. I'll look deeper later to find what is happening. Thanks for now. Apr 27 at 22:06
  • Could you tell us which language and which lsp server you are using for that language? Apr 27 at 22:43
