using lunarvim with fortls not working properly

Question

I tried to use fortls language server (installed via Mason) in Lunarvim, but lvim keeps showing "LSP inactive". The Python and the lua language server are working without any problem

I've restarted it (LspResart) and uninstalled and reinstalled it via Mason. Even the older 2.12.0 version, but every time the same behavior.

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS.

Can anyone who uses fortls in lvim/nvim give me a hint where the problem could be?

Answer 1

I assume you are using fortls (https://github.com/fortran-lang/fortls), which in that case you might want to have a look at the docs on setting fortls up for neovim

Installation

Docs: https://fortls.fortran-lang.org/quickstart.html#download

FYI: make sure that where you install fortls is in your PATH.

neovim Integration

Docs: https://fortls.fortran-lang.org/editor_integration.html#neovim

As a final note, fortls has also a Command Line Interface (CLI), so you can test it works by opening a terminal and typing something along the lines of

fortls --debug_filename your_file.f90 --debug_parser

The output should be a parsed version of your file.
