How to Install Ansible Language server

[nippyin]

Can we have a steps to install/configure it. I think it will help community at large. I'm trying to setup this on Nvim however unable to do with current instructions.

You should be able to learn this at https://github.com/yaegassy/coc-ansible.

Plus @yaegassy could probably answer this question better than me.

And if we're not using coc?

Has anyone got it working. I am still stuck figuring it out since last night. The instructions at https://github.com/yaegassy/coc-ansible doesn't seem to be enough to get it working.
@yaegassy @ssbarnea can you support us here.

@muzammil-iftikhar Do you have python3, Node.js, coc.nvim installed in your environment? Have you installed and configured any plug-ins related to filetype? https://github.com/yaegassy/coc-ansible#-very-important--filetype-related

[muzammil-iftikhar]

@yaegassy,
coc.vim and filetype plugin

python3 and nodejs

Also, i did add following in my .vimrc file
let g:coc_filetype_map = { \ 'yaml.ansible': 'ansible', \ }

[yaegassy]

Try running :echo &ft when you open the YAML file for ansible. Does it correctly show yaml.ansible? Also, is coc.nvim itself working properly? If the Node.js version is very old, coc.nvim itself may not work, etc. Are extensions other than coc-ansible working?

[muzammil-iftikhar]

it shows yaml and i also see this error

yes coc seems to be working fine for all these other extensions:

[yaegassy]

It looks like coc-yaml (use yaml-language-server) is running because the filetype is yaml, not yaml.ansible.

Please check the README and other documentation for "ansible-vim" and try adding the necessary settings. e.g. g:ansible_ftdetect_filename_regex https://github.com/pearofducks/ansible-vim

Thanks @yaegassy. Working fine now
Just for others:
I used this to set the filetype to yaml.ansible
au BufRead,BufNewFile */ansible/*.yml set filetype=yaml.ansible
