Enable grammarly for tex files?

[samerickson]

Hello,

I am trying to get Grammarly to work on latex files. I have Grammarly installed and it works with markdown files, but I am unable to get it to work with .tex files.

I have tried adding filetypes = { "tex" } and `filetypes = { "latex" } to the opts in my Grammarly server setup function, but neither of these seem to work.

I have also tried to start the server using :LspStart Grammarly this also does not work.

Has anyone run into this or know how to configure the Grammarly server so that it runs on Latex files?

Hello @samerickson!

When setting up the server - is this done via nvim-lsp-installer APIs, for example like in this snippet?

Also, just making sure, is the 'filetype' correctly set when you open these files? Does :echo &ft produce tex?

I know the Grammarly server is a bit unstable and struggle with certain files at the moment. I tried this out myself on .tex files, and it seems like it's struggling (see screenshot below). There's some more background in this PR in lspconfig.

Hello @williamboman,

Yes, I sometimes have to set the filetype manually for some reason.

Even through I have Grammarly installed (and working on markdown files), when I enter LspInfo I get the following:

[williamboman]

Hm that seems a bit odd. Are you overriding the grammarly filetype triggers? If yes, what if you don't override and leave it to the defaults?

[samerickson]

I am not overriding the default filetype triggers. In fact, I have tried overriding them without success.

@samerickson I found your dotfiles and opened a PR - samerickson/dotfiles#1. Ought to fix it! I'm not sure how well the grammarly service works with tex files, so no guarantees there!

@williamboman Thank you so much! You have just saved me so much time on my research project!
