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.

    I created an auto command for this

    -- Ansible file pattern
  vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ "BufRead", "BufNewFile", "BufEnter" }, {
    group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("Ansible", { clear = true }),
    pattern = {
      "*/roles/*/*/*.yaml",
      "*/roles/*/*/.yml",
      "main.yml",
      "main.yaml",
      "Debian*.yaml",
      "Debian*.yml",
      "*/ansible-devbox/*.yaml",
      "*/ansible-devbox/*.yml",
      "group_vars/*.yml",
      "group_vars/*.yaml",
      "files/*.yaml",
      "files/*.yml",
      "environments/*.yaml",
      "environments/*.yml,",
    },
    callback = function()
      vim.opt.filetype = "yaml.ansible"
    end,
  }),

      it’s working now but ill try that. looks like a better solution then my current .config/nvim/ftdetect/ansible.vim hack. your snipped goes into .config/nvim/init.lua i guess?
