Requirements

This package requires the following extensions to be installed:

• Modern Fortran or fortran

Additionally, you must have Python and the Fortran Language Server installed on your system. Be sure to periodically update the underlying language server to stay up to date with new features and fixes.

This package has been tested and should work on macOS (OS X), Linux and Windows.

Configuration

Note: When setting an explicit language server executable path on Windows backslashes must be escaped (ex. C:\\path\\to\\fortls.exe).

Due to Fortran's syntax it is recommended that you disable the Enter key for suggestion confirmation. This can be done selectively in fortran files by adding the snippet below to your settings.json file.

"[fortran]": {
    "editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": "off"
},
"[fortran_fixed-form]": {
    "editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": "off"
},
"[FortranFreeForm]": {
    "editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": "off"
}

See the fortran-language-server README for information on project specific configuration settings.

Bug reports

Note that most bugs observed with this package are actually related to the upstream fortran-language-server. Unless you believe the error you observe is directly related to Visual Studio Code please submit issues to the upstream repo. When filing bugs please provide example code to reproduce the observed issue if possible.
