Can root dir not have a meson.build

[Freed-Wu]

For example, current $PWD is /the/path, there is not /the/path/meson.build. I try to edit /the/path/subdir/meson.build, mesonlsp will not work unless I create /the/path/meson.build:

subdir('subdir')

Can we use the following logic:

1. When /the/path/meson.build exists, use it.
2. When user_edit_directory/meson.build exists, use it.

It will be useful a git repo is not a meson projects, however, one or more subdir of it is a meson project, and other subidr store other things.

This is supported. Your editor just has to send the initialize request with a different path in the WorkspaceFolders (https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#initialize) . Not sure how you can do that, as I didn't test it yet.

Can we have a fallback user_edit_directory/meson.build for /the/path/meson.build? Can it be out of box without any extra configuration?

If you submit a patch and it's not that hacky, I would be happy to merge it. For example, adding support for reading a .mesonlsp_help file that contains:

some/path/
other/path/

These paths could be used as the new workspace folders. This is one possible solution, but not necessarily the only one.

or example, adding support for reading a .mesonlsp_help file that contains:

some/path/
other/path/

It looks similar as adding a meson.build:

subdir('some/path/')
subdir('other/path/')

Yes, but it was just a suggestion. I will review any patches regarding this topic
