fortran-language-server not recognized

[PaulXiCao]

I get the following error message after opening up vs code

[Error - 12:07:18 PM] Starting client failed
Error: Unsupported server configuration {
    "command": null,
    "args": [],
    "options": {}
}
	at createMessageTransports._getServerWorkingDir.then.serverWorkingDir (<$HOME>/.vscode/extensions/krvajalm.linter-gfortran-2.0.2/node_modules/vscode-languageclient/lib/main.js:363:35)

It just started maybe a couple weeks ago.

I enabled the option: language server

...
    "fortran.useLanguageServer": true,
...

The fortran language server is installed w/ the latest version

$ fortls --version
1.5.0

It is installed in the following path (included in $PATH)

$ which fortls
<$HOME>/.local/bin/fortls
$ echo $PATH
...:<$HOME>/.local/bin:...

any ideas?

Hello there,
That's an experimental feature, I don't use it and I'm also not sure if it works...
Therefore I recommend you to use that feature only if you intend to contribute to the development of it.

That said, to get Fortran Language Server to work in VSCode I recommend you to leave our option false and install the FORTRAN IntelliSense extension, which I heard that does a better job in handling the Fortran Language Server.

Thanks @pedro-ricardo . Your work around worked (disabling the fortran language server option and installing FORTRAN IntelliSense).
