Fortls error with modern fortran and fortran intellisense

[guler014]

Hey, I am looking forward to someone who can help me resolve the issue of “Error spawning fortls: Please check that fortran-language-server is installed and in your path.” in VS Code. I am using the modern fortran.
I have tried multiple times to resolve the issue, but it remains persistent no matter what (probably i don’t know much about vs code)

I have added the path in settings.json, environmental variables (path and path to executable).

I would appreciate any help i can get

Just to let you know I have following lines are on the settings.json

“modernfortran.ls.path”: “C:\Users\xxxxxxxx\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.12_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python312\Scripts\fortls.exe”,
“fortran-ls.executablePath”: “C:\Users\xxxxxxxxx\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.12_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python312\Scripts\fortls”,

There is not enough information to get to the root of your problem. There are many posts in this Discourse and the web troubleshooting such problems. Here are some examples, which you might want to read and try as solutions:

Simple setting in Windows

Welcome to Fortran-lang @vicent. Most of the things you are mentioning in terms of a code editor are very doable within VSCode. Install Modern Fortran (the pre-release version). This should give you access to syntax highlighting, linting, debugging, formatting and snippets. For more advanced tasks like hover signatures, autocompletions, peeking definitions, etc. you will be prompted to install fortls our language server. fortls - Language Server settings The installation process for fortls on …

Problem about Fortran Intellisense in vs code

I suggest you have a read at the Documentation for the extension. Settings do not come under the “modern-fortran” tag. As I mentioned above, the functionality is there, it is tested and does work. I should know given I wrote all of these programs, so please read the docs and adjust your setup accordingly. Modern Fortran WILL NOT WORK with any of the other 3 extensions you had installed alongside and it will fail quite visibly throwing pop up errors asking you to disable/uninstall the other ex…

"Had trouble installing fortls, please install manually" . How to install manually without pip?

Pip is the python package manager included in all supported python installations; it’s a command line tool. We can’t move away from Python (i.e. download an executable) what we can do is fix the user experience and make it to “just work” for the majority of our users. The breakdown of the problem in Windows is: python and hence pip might not be reachable via PATH the folder in which pip installs applications is not by default reachable by PATH if not in PATH VSCode cannot find the applicatio…

Modern Fortran Acting Odd

Welcome @EthanKletschke to Fortran-lang. I saw your review on the VS Code store, but I will respond here to keep the conversation in one place. There haven’t been any changes to the extension in the last 2 months (other than security updates). It sounds like something changed(or became deprecated) in your system. Can you please post more details like: OS Extension version Version of VS Code version of Python and any other information that would make your problem traceable and reproducible…

My guess is that you are using an outdated version of vscode and/or modern fortran and/or fortls and/or using deprecated third-party extensions and/or passing incorrect options to vscode. There are simply too many unknowns. Easiest way to get to the bottom of this is update your VSCode, Modern Fortran to the latest Pre-Release and install with pip fortls. Follow the errors that pop up, try and resolve them using the posts above (or others you might find) and post any questions if you get stuck.
