Pyright LSP WebSocket Bridge

A WebSocket bridge for the Pyright language server with a bundled Node.js runtime. This service provides Python language server capabilities (autocomplete, type checking, diagnostics, etc.) through a WebSocket interface, primarily used by the Jesse dashboard to provide IntelliSense features for Jesse strategies.

Overview

This repository delivers:

• WebSocket Bridge - Translates WebSocket messages to Pyright LSP protocol
• Bundled Runtime - Includes Node.js, eliminating system dependencies
• Cross-Platform Support - Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows
• Optimized Builds - ~70% size reduction with production-only dependencies

Technology Stack

• TypeScript - Main language for the bridge implementation
• Node.js - Runtime environment
• Pyright - Microsoft's static type checker for Python
• WebSocket (ws) - WebSocket communication
• vscode-ws-jsonrpc - JSON-RPC over WebSocket
• esbuild - Fast JavaScript bundler

Development

Setup

npm install

Running in Development Mode

npm start -- \
  --port 9011 \
  --project-root /path/to/project \
  --jesse-relative-path jesse_folder_name \
  --bot-relative-path jesse-bot_folder_name

Command-Line Arguments

• --port - WebSocket server port (default: 9011)
• --project-root - Root directory of the Python project
• --jesse-relative-path - Relative path to Jesse framework folder
• --bot-relative-path - Relative path to Jesse bot folder

Build

Single Platform (Linux x64)

./build.sh

Output: output/linux-x64.tar.gz (~34 MB)

All Platforms

./build-all.sh

Outputs:

• linux-x64.tar.gz / linux-arm64.tar.gz
• darwin-x64.tar.gz / darwin-arm64.tar.gz
• win32-x64.zip

Deployment & Usage

Linux/macOS

# Extract the archive
tar -xzf linux-x64.tar.gz

# Run the server
cd linux-x64
./start.sh \
  --port 9011 \
  --project-root /path/to/project \
  --jesse-relative-path jesse_folder_name \
  --bot-relative-path jesse-bot_folder_name

Windows

REM Extract win32-x64.zip

REM Run the server
cd win32-x64
start.bat --port 9011 --project-root C:\path\to\project --jesse-relative-path jesse_folder_name --bot-relative-path jesse-bot_folder_name

Configuration

The Pyright language server is configured via pyrightconfig.json in the project root. You can customize type checking behavior, Python version, include/exclude patterns, and more.

Features

• ✅ Bundled Node.js runtime (no system dependencies)
• ✅ Optimized build (~70% size reduction)
• ✅ Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)
• ✅ Production-ready dependencies only
• ✅ WebSocket-based communication
• ✅ Full Pyright LSP capabilities

Architecture

The bridge acts as a middleware between WebSocket clients (like the Jesse dashboard) and the Pyright language server:

Client (Jesse Dashboard) <-> WebSocket <-> Bridge <-> Pyright LSP

Messages are translated between WebSocket and the Language Server Protocol, enabling Python IntelliSense features in web-based interfaces.

File Structure

• index.ts - Entry point and CLI argument handling
• pyright-bridge.ts - WebSocket bridge implementation
• pyrightconfig.json - Pyright configuration
• package.json - Node.js project configuration
• build.sh - Build script for Linux x64
• build-all.sh - Build script for all platforms
• output/ - Build output directory (generated)
