Configuration

• buildDirectory This language server uses CMake's file API to get cached variables. The API communicates using <buildDirectory>/.cmake/api/. buildDirectory is relative path to the root uri of the workspace. To configure the build tree, you need to run the cmake command such as cmake .. -DFOO=bar.
