Nimsuggest - Methods marked with {.base.} trigger error on chk about nim

[jmgomez]

Cant be reproed in the v4 of the protocol. Tools should use that one instead as it has many other enhancements

nimsuggest --v4 example.nim

I had the same problem as OP, but I guess the problem is that I was using nimlsp, the author of which hasn't kept it up to date with the latest nimsuggest protocol updates (as far as I can tell, even V3 hasn't been implemented). So the answer was to switch to nimlangserver. After switching, the {.base.} error is gone.

So I can confirm if I run with explicit --v4 as above then yes it appears to work as expected.
So perhaps the error is instead within the handling by nimlangserver? However based upon what @Seanld said this worked for them.

For me running either vscode integration or neovim with nimlangserver still shows errors.

I've tried to see if I can find the protocol being chosen but my best guess is:
https://github.com/nim-lang/langserver/blob/97ffd6da89c658abaf6043e29ac6aeab1afda8f9/suggestapi.nim#L268

Running:
nimsuggest --info:protocolVer
Returns:
4

As an aside Why is the default protocol still v2? If v4 is generally better, shouldn't that be the default?
