User-agent: mu4e 1.11.2; emacs 30.0.50

When I run `M-x eglot' in a LaTeX-buffer and select "texlab" as a language-server, I get an echo-area message indicating that the connection was successful:

  [eglot] Connected! Server `TexLab' now managing `(tex-mode context-mode texinfo-mode bibtex-mode)' buffers in project `phd-thesis'.

However, I don't get any mode-line indication and the variable `eglot--managed-mode' is nil, so it seems it didn't properly activate.

I initally noticed the error in that when I tried auto-completing with `eglot-completion-at-point', I got the error message

  (jsonrpc-error "No current JSON-RPC connection" (jsonrpc-error-code . 32603) (jsonrpc-error-message . "No current JSON-RPC connection"))

I get the same message when e.g. running `M-x eglot-stderr-buffer', so I cannot attach that, but I attached the contents of eglot-events-buffer. With debug-on-error enabled I get the backtrace

  Debugger entered--Lisp error: (jsonrpc-error "No current JSON-RPC connection" (jsonrpc-error-code . 32603) (jsonrpc-error-message . "No current JSON-RPC connection"))
    jsonrpc-error("No current JSON-RPC connection")
    eglot--current-server-or-lose()
    byte-code("\300 C\207" [eglot--current-server-or-lose] 1)
    command-execute(eglot-stderr-buffer record)
    execute-extended-command(nil "eglot-stderr-buffer" nil)
    funcall-interactively(execute-extended-command nil "eglot-stderr-buffer" nil)
    command-execute(execute-extended-command)

But the initial bug is that Eglot didn't start managing the buffer when I run the command and that doesn't raise an error initially.

I can reproduce the error with "emacs -Q". It seemed to work in the past (couple of weeks ago) and now it doesn't anymore. I changed a lot in my Emacs config but that it works with emacs -Q suggests something else changed rather than just my emacs init file.

I tried two texlab versions, 5.4.1 and 5.5.0 and also other latex language-servers such as digestif and ltex-ls and got the same issue. Also it doesn't matter whether I use AucTeX or plain latex.el (which I had in emacs -Q anyway). I also disabled my dir-local variables when testing. So it doesn't seem to depend on the latex language server version.

However, I don't have problems running Eglot in other major modes, e.g. it works in Python with the pylsp  server.

For reproducing, any latex file seemed to work for me, but I attached a very minimal latex-project for testing anyway. texlab can be downloaded as a static binary from https://github.com/latex-lsp/texlab/releases/tag/v5.5.0. Then, to reproduce, just open the latex file in the attached project, run `M-x eglot', select texlab, and check if it starts managing the buffer. Then, `eglot--managed-mode' should be `t' and I expect auto-completion to work.

I'm still not 100% sure this is a bug or something messed up in my local configuration, but I just couldn't find the issue, so I thought I might as well report it just in case it's not known. If you cannot reproduce it with the above instructions, feel free to close this bug. Below is the additional system and config information as provided by report-emacs-bug.

Cheers, Michael
