Language Server integration

The Fortran Language Server fortls is responsible for providing a lot of the higher level, IDE functionality. By default, Modern Fortran will attempt to use it for hover, autocompletion, symbols and Go to & Peeking into definitions.

Allow for fortls to be automatically installed with pip or Anaconda and if the location where fortls is installed is not in your PATH point VS Code to the fortls location by setting

{
  "fortran.fortls.path": "/custom/path/to/fortls"
}

For more about the Language Server's capabilities please refer to the documentation of fortls.

Linting

Linting allows for compiler error and warning detection while coding without the user having to compile.

📝️ NoteSave your file to generate linting results

Linting results can be improved by providing additional options to the compiler.

Including directories

You can control the include paths to be used by the linter with the fortran.linter.includePaths option.

❗️ ImportantFor the best linting results linter.includePaths should match the included paths for your project's compilation.
{
  "fortran.linter.includePaths": ["/usr/include/**", "${workspaceFolder}/include/**"]
}

| ❗️ Important | If a glob pattern is used only directories matching the pattern will be included | | ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |…
