This PR updates the deprecated `rootPath` field in the LSP `InitializeParams` for backwards compatibility with language servers that still rely on this field. ### Issue Some language servers (notably the Salesforce Apex Language Server) only read from the deprecated `rootPath` field in the LSP initialize request and do not use `rootUri` or `workspaceFolders`. When Zed sends `root_path: None`, these language servers fail to initialize because they cannot determine the workspace root. Example error from the Apex Language Server: ``` NullPointerException at apex.jorje.lsp.impl.db.nddb.NdApexIndex.getToolsStoragePath(NdApexIndex.java:723) ``` The Apex LSP's initialize handler does: ```java serverSetup.setRootPath(params.getRootPath()); ``` VSCode's LanguageClient sends both `rootPath` and `rootUri` for backwards compatibility: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node/blob/main/client/src/common/client.ts#L1434 ### Fix Derive `rootPath` from the existing `root_uri` field when building the initialize params. The LSP spec states that if both `rootPath` and `rootUri` are provided, `rootUri` wins, so this change should be backwards compatible and won't affect language servers that properly use `rootUri`<sup>(1)</sup>. --- (1) [LSP Specification - InitializeParams](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#initializeParams) - notes that `rootPath` is deprecated in favor of `workspaceFolders`, but for backwards compatibility it should still be provided when possible. Release Notes: - Improved compatibility with legacy language servers |
