Hi @kyurdakok, thank you for your interest in this project and for opening this bug report.

To be completely, I am not sure if the socket support is working properly. Please see microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node#245 and Microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node-example#37.

Looks like this problem has supposedly been fixed upstream per the closing of microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node#245. Will have to do some testing to verify the fix.

I believe the fix that upstream has delivered is incorrect. I have posted my findings on Microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node#245.

Looks like the fix was actually fine. The client needs to be the one listening for connections instead of trying to connect to the language server. The language server will attempt to connect to the specified port so the client needs to listen for connections on the specified port before starting up the language server.

@kyurdakok Socket support should now be working with dd63ee9. Don't forget to update your dependencies with npm install. You can refer to the README.md file for some sample code that shows how to talk to the language server using sockets.

Thank you again for bringing this bug to our attention!

I have published version 0.0.9 to npm which includes this fix.
