TexStudio hosted LanguageTool instance stopped working

Hello,

This is my first message on this forum. Long time lurker have always found solutions here. This time I could not figure out, or I am just too lazy to get my hands dirty till the end... Anyway, if I need to post this elsewhere, please, let me know.

I have a small issue with LanguageTool and its integration with TexStudio. Essentially, TexStudio used to start the LanguageTool server and use the HTTP API correctly until something has broken and the LT instance does not starts anymore. Checking LT status I get:

which java: /usr/bin/java

JAVA: java
openjdk version "1.8.0_265"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_265-b01)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.265-b01, mixed mode)

Real-time checking is enabled.
Grammar checking is enabled.

Tries to start automatically.

LT current status: error
LT path " /usr/share/languagetool:/usr/share/java/languagetool/* " not found !

LT-URL: http://localhost:8081/v2/check

Versions:

• TexStudio: 3.0.1

• Qt: 5.15.1 (compiled of 5.15.0)

• LanguageTool: 5.0

TexStudio configuration is copied from here. I have tried suggestions from here and here. I suspect I upgraded something I shouldn't have to: as someone pointed out here, Qt 5 may break LT integration, but since the thread is a bit old I am not sure...

Does anyone have better pointers? I checked the paths I give in the config and files are there:

$ ls /usr/share/languagetool
CHANGES.md   COPYING.txt  org        testrules.bat  third-party-licenses
CHANGES.txt  META-INF     README.md  testrules.sh

I would be very happy to provide all the necessary details to figure the problem out (as I would need LT to checkout my thesis).

Thanks a lot!

Re: TexStudio hosted LanguageTool instance stopped working

TexStudio used to start the LanguageTool server and use the HTTP API correctly until something has broken and the LT instance does not starts anymore.

Describe *how* this "LanguageTool" server is started and post/examine its startup log. Find out if you can start it manually and if you can reproduce the problem that way.

Re: TexStudio hosted LanguageTool instance stopped working

As an workaround you can start the "Language Tool" on system start with:

systemctl enable languagetool

and

systemctl start languagetool

starts the "Language Tool" right away and TexStudio doesn't need to start the Language Tool because its already running on system start.

Hope this helps.
