I’m trying to use LazyVim https://www.lazyvim.org/ to create and edit ansible playbooks and roles, but for the live of my I don’t understand how to enable ansible-language-server.

The installation of lazyvim went flawless and after starting nvim I used the command :Mason to install:

  • ansible-language-server
  • ansible-lint
  • yaml-language-server
  • yamllint

but still, when opening a task or playbook file in nvim, i don’t get any of that cool features like snippets and automatic syntax checking like I hoped.

Can anyone give me a hint how to enable those? Mason says the plugins are installed, is it only a problem of nvim not recognizing the filetype as ansible? Do I need to enable some plugins via .config/nvim/lua/plugins? I’m out of my element here, help would be much appreciated.

    LspInfo

     Language client log: /home/me/.local/state/nvim/lsp.log
     Detected filetype:   yaml
     
     1 client(s) attached to this buffer: 
     
     Client: yamlls (id: 1, bufnr: [1])
     	filetypes:       yaml, yaml.docker-compose
     	autostart:       true
     	root directory:  Running in single file mode.
     	cmd:             /home/me/.local/share/nvim/mason/bin/yaml-language-server --stdio
     
     Configured servers list: lua_ls, yamlls, bashls, ansiblels, tsserver, jsonls
    

    Looks like the file is recognized as yaml but not as ansible.

      Try putting # vim:ft=yaml.ansible at the top of your file then re-opening it

        that work, but since I don’t want to touch all my yaml files, I looked into the ftdetect file I already created and saw an error in my path definition.

        its working now. last thing i haven’t found out is, how to tell nvim to check syntax periodically and not only when saving. other then that it works pretty well. thank you
