Describe the bug

vim.schedule callback: .../share/nvim/lazy/inc-rename.nvim/lua/inc_rename/init.lua:178: attempt to index local 'handle_references_result' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
	.../share/nvim/lazy/inc-rename.nvim/lua/inc_rename/init.lua:178: in function 'handler'
	/usr/share/nvim/runtime/lua/vim/lsp/client.lua:683: in function ''
	vim/_editor.lua: in function <vim/_editor.lua:0>

Steps to reproduce

Config:

opts = {
  preview_empty_name = false,
}

Just use IncRename try to rename a variable, every time we change the name, the issue happens. But the function works, just this noise error messages are shown.

Expected behavior

No error messages.

I guess why I encounter: I use clangd and ccls as LSP servers for the project. If I stop ccls, it would not happen. So how should I prevent from encountering this?

[goldeneas]

This also happens when using jdtls lsp server
