Total newbie to D, trying to get it to play nice with Neovim using ncm2-d and DCD.

Issue: DCD never caches any symbols even when I point it directly to DMD's include files. Hate to ask for tech support on this forum but it's all I've got, Googling has brought no luck.

Using dcd version v0.11.0




Output from dcd-server -I /usr/include/dmd/phobos -I /usr/include/dmd/druntime/import :

2019-04-10T11:34:43.386 [info] main.d:130:runServer Starting up...

Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

IIRC, with the latest versions, DCD will import symbols lazily; so it should only start caching symbols when they have been used because of a client request.
Have you tried using dcd-client nonetheless to see if you can get any result?
