feat: Add Svelte language server support by duducpp · Pull Request #1409 · oraios/serena

duducpp · 2026-04-24T15:15:00Z

Summary

This PR adds full Svelte language server (svelte-language-server) support to Serena/solidlsp, enabling semantic code intelligence for Svelte and SvelteKit projects.

What was done

Language server implementation (`src/solidlsp/language_servers/svelte_language_server.py`)

Implemented SvelteLanguageServer class extending the base LSP infrastructure
Handles auto-installation of svelte-language-server via npm/npx
Supports .svelte files alongside TypeScript/JavaScript files in the same project
Implements Svelte-specific LSP initialization options (TypeScript SDK path, component intelligence)
Cross-file reference deduplication (Svelte LSP may return duplicate refs across .svelte and .ts virtual files)
Bare symbol name extraction from Svelte-qualified names (strips file-path prefixes)

Config & registration (`src/solidlsp/ls_config.py`)

Added Language.SVELTE enum entry
Registered FilenameMatcher for .svelte, .ts, .js, .cts, .mts, .cjs, .mjs
Assigned superset priority (same as Vue) so Svelte is preferred over plain TS/JS when both match
Wired lazy import of SvelteLanguageServer

Project template & dependencies

Added svelte to src/serena/resources/project.template.yml supported languages
Added svelte-language-server to pyproject.toml optional dependencies

Documentation

docs/01-about/020_programming-languages.md: added Svelte to the supported languages table
docs/02-usage/050_configuration.md: added Svelte configuration example with install instructions
docs/02-usage/070_security.md: noted Svelte server security considerations

Test repository (`test/resources/repos/svelte/test_repo/`)

Full SvelteKit skeleton app used as the test fixture (Counter, Header components, Sverdle game, routing)

Test suite (`test/solidlsp/svelte/`)

27 tests, all passing across 4 files:
- test_svelte_basic.py — document symbols, cross-file references, deduplication, bare symbol names
- test_svelte_error_cases.py — invalid positions, out-of-bounds lines/chars, non-existent files, edge-case positions
- test_svelte_rename.py — single-file and cross-file rename via LSP
- test_svelte_symbol_retrieval.py — containing symbol, referencing symbols, go-to-definition

Thank you for the contribution! After multiple failed attempts of adding svelte to Serena, I believe that this may be a working one. I was not aware of the typescript-specific plugin mechanism for the typescript LS, this is definitely the cleanest way to approach the cross-language compatibility.

That being said, there are severall issues with the current PR. Probably all small, but I just did a shallow review and will review again after they have been addressed. Apart from what I flagged explicitly, please:

Go through the tests and remove all skips or any conditions that may lead to the test being green even if functionality fails or is missing.
Make sure there is test coverage of cross-language reference and definition search. Pls point me to the respective tests.
Document the language server architecture more thoroughly in the new module
Make sure to remove any hacks that compensate for design problems - the mutation of the overridden path was the one that caught my eye immediately but there may be more

Pls ping me when that's addressed and it's time to re-review

+        self._custom_tsdk_path = tsdk_path
+        SvelteTypeScriptServer.DependencyProvider.override_ts_ls_executable = ts_ls_executable_path


This is not a good mechanism, pls adjust the code for this to not be necessary.

unnecessary elif block

All custom paths should be passed through solidlsp_settings and there should be defaults for other paths. No need to pass the paths through init

pls never skip tests, either they work or they don't

never skip in tests
