This will only work if you open the file you want to rename in tsserver

my config:

  {
    "antosha417/nvim-lsp-file-operations",
    dependencies = {
      "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
      "nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim",
    },
    config = function()
      require("lsp-file-operations").setup({ debug = false })
    end,
  },

If I change the file name directly on the file tree, it won't work.

If I open this file and then modify it it works fine.

@gengdz same problem. i am using tsserver + angulars. maybe you found a way to solve it? by the way, i just checked specifically and the plugin works fine even when i open tabs through nvim-tree using tab (without even doing anything there). then when i rename the file in nvim-tree, everything works. But I can tell you that lsp doesn't work fine for me either. For the lsp server to notice anything wrong with a file, I have to open it, even if I started the server manually beforehand. maybe this is related, and you should make lsp somehow look through all files when starting nvim.

Technically speaking, LSP clients only attached when you have one of the supported filetypes open. This means that they only call the lsp start function there.

This will do renaming only in open buffers. Open a project and open some buffers. When you rename one of the files, imports are adjusted only on open buffers. I am doing the following as a workaround:

# open all js files in current project
:args **/**.js

# rename file from neo-tree

# write all changes
