Can't connect LibO extension to local server

hopp · March 10, 2020, 4:30pm

Running a local LT server (as root for the time being), I want to make the LibreOffice LT extension use that server. So I click

Tools => LanguageTool => Options… => General

Use remote server to check text
Use server: http://localhost:8081/v2

After pressing the OK button, a windows opens with a message

Connection refused:
Switch to internal LanguageTool application

The server log has the following error message:

Any advice on how to connect LibO LT extension to a local server is much appreciated.

System:

$ lsb_release -d
Description:	Ubuntu 19.10
$ LANG=C apt-cache policy libreoffice | grep -i installed
  Installed: 1:6.3.5-0ubuntu0.19.10.1
$ ls LanguageTool-*.oxt
LanguageTool-4.8.oxt
# Server start-up command:
$ grep java /etc/systemd/system/languagetool.service
ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -cp /opt/LanguageTool/languagetool-server.jar org.languagetool.server.HTTPServer --port 8081 --allow-origin "*" --languageModel /opt/ngrams/

Could you try with a more recent snapshot of the LT server, like https://internal1.languagetool.org/snapshots/LanguageTool-20200309-snapshot.zip?

Same behaviour. Though, I only run the server v4.9 snapshot that you linked to. LibO extension was still v4.8.

Here’s the log again:

And same behaviour after installing v4.9 snapshot extension.

dnaber · March 10, 2020, 5:21pm

Please try http://localhost:8081/ as the server URL.

hopp · March 10, 2020, 5:27pm

That seems to work. Will that be the new URL or will the extension be fixed?

dnaber · March 10, 2020, 5:44pm

I guess that was the URL all the time. @Fred.Kruse Maybe we can warn if someone uses /v2 in the URL? Unfortunately, we use it in the browser add-on, which confuses people.

hopp · March 10, 2020, 5:47pm

And it’s documented with trailing /v2 at HTTP Server - LanguageTool Wiki

Fred.Kruse · March 11, 2020, 12:08pm

Just I added a hint in the option panel and a test of the URL (generates a message) if you click at the OK Button.

@Fred.Kruse Thanks!
