Health Check
To ensure your Helix installation is configured correctly, run:
hx --health
The output is divided into two sections:
1. Helix Configuration Section
The first section displays the locations of key files currently used by Helix, including:
- The configuration file
- The language file
- The log file
- The runtime directories
- The system clipboard provider (if available)
2. Language Configuration Section
The second section presents a table showing the status of each supported language. Each language has several configurable features:
- Language servers
- Debug adapter
- Formatter
- Syntax highlighting
- Text object (e.g., jump to functions, classes; details here)
- Indentation (details here)
Table entry colors indicate feature status:
- Red: Feature not found on the system
- Yellow: Feature not configured
- Green: Feature found and configured
For detailed language-specific information, run:
hx --health [LANG]
This provides additional details beyond the features listed above, including:
- Location of the LSP binary (if available)
- Location of the DAP binary (if available)
