Details

A Language Server Protocol (LSP) implementation for CFML / ColdFusion, written in Go.

go build -o cfmleditor-lsp .

The server communicates over stdio using JSON-RPC 2.0 with LSP headers:

./cfmleditor-lsp

Configure your editor to launch this binary as an LSP server for .cfm, .cfc, .cfml, and .cfs files.

Place a .cfmleditor.json file in your project root to enable daemon mode and configure workspace indexing.

{
  "workspaceName": "myproject",
  "workspacePaths": [".", "../shared-lib"]
}

Field	Required	Description
`workspaceName`	Yes	Unique project name. Used to derive the daemon socket path so multiple projects don't collide.
`workspacePaths`	No	Relative paths to folders the LSP should treat as workspace roots. Resolved relative to the config file location.

When .cfmleditor.json is found (in the current directory or one level up), the server starts in daemon mode:

The first editor session becomes the daemon, listening on a Unix socket and serving LSP over stdio.
Subsequent sessions connect to the existing daemon via the socket, sharing a single index.
The daemon shuts down automatically when all editor sessions disconnect.

Without a config file the server runs in standalone mode — a single session with its own index.

If workspaceIndexGlobs is set, only .cfc files matching those patterns are indexed.
If only workspacePaths is set, all .cfc files under those folders are indexed.
If neither is set, the LSP falls back to indexing workspace folders reported by the editor.
