Add metals-vim to your $PATH or use absolute path.

@chemzqm why did you close this? I have the exact same issue, can you at least tell us where metals-vim is when installed with CocInstall coc-metals? metals was working fine until I updated metals :/

[oblitum]

@caente extensions generally install their assets in coc data directory. Look for it in docs.

[caente]

you mean here?

❯ ls ~/.config/nvim/bundle/coc.nvim/data
schema.json

[oblitum]

No. That's the coc.nvim plugin dir, not the data dir. Look for it in docs and you'll find you can even configure it.

[oblitum]

you'll find you can even configure it

My bad on this info, it's not yet possible to configure it, see #1529. But you can find mention for the current fixed location in docs (wiki, etc).

:h g:coc_extension_root.

🤦‍♂️ the issue was with an old setting I had in coc-settings.json, from the times before coc-metals
thanks @oblitum and sorry for the extra noise
