Opening helix from a zellij pane layout won't load rust-analyzer

[gngeorgiev]

I have a very weird scenario where if I open helix from a zellij pane layout such as:

  	pane name="Helix" {
  		focus true
  		command "hx"
  		args "."
  		close_on_exit true
  	} 

It wouldn't load rust-analyzer, it won't even try. When running helix with -v I get absolutely nothing in the logs.

When I try some code action I get No configured language server supports code actions.

Things I've tried:

• Opening hx in a normal terminal pane works fine
• Setting cwd on the pane, tab and layout
• Using an absolute path instead of .
• Running :open-log, confirming that the log file's location is indeed correct
• :config-open also opens the correct config
• Confirming that rust-analyzer is findable through the :sh command from within the helix instance.
• Running :lsp-restart has no effect and produces no logs

More context:

• The syntax highlight is fine
• The language is recognized as rust in the status bar

I would like to ask for ideas how to debug this further as this is very perplexing to me as it stands.

Thank you in advance.

I had tried using a shell to invoke the command before with sh -c but I actually need fish -c as that's my shell.

It appears that this works, zellij probably doesn't use my shell when executing commands breaking the helix environment.

I will leave this open for a while in case someone can chime in with tips how this could have been diagnosed better from within helix. Shelling out to the shell doesn't work because helix uses the configured shell and there don't seem to be builtin commands to diagnose lsp health.
