Visual Studio Code with "Modern FORTRAN

[jbaben]

I added the “Modern Fortran” extension to Visual Studio Code (version: 1.84.2) and added the corresponding path to “fortls”.
When I now want to compile the FORTRAN-Code under “Run and debug”, I get the message: “Linter can't be found in $PATH”.
What does that mean, I actually made all the settings for “Modern Fortran” (Path to: Compiler, fortls, fprettify).
The problem is: unfortunately I have no idea what “Linter” is supposed to be.
I hope you can help me.
Kind Regards

Hi @jbaben, can you please first install the pre-release of the extension.
A linter is a piece of software that helps you detect errors. In Fortran we use the actual compilers e.g. GFortran or Intel compilers to detect certain errors. So you need to install those first.

If you could post the JSON settings file to get an idea of what is going on and a list of the installed vscode extensions that would also help.

Hello,
thank you for your fast answer.
For the first I have install the pre-release of "Modern Fortran" Version: 3.4.2023110901
I have download the Fortran-Compiler from: http://www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?fa=fortran#google_vignette
File: gcc-13.2.0-64.exe -> gfortran
My "settings.json":
{
"fortran.fortls.path": "C:\Users\jbabe\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python310\",
"fortran.linter.compilerPath": "C:\Strawbwrry\Fortran\bin\"
}
extensions.json:
{
"recommendations": [
"fortran-lang.linter-gfortran"
]
}
I have a lot of extensions in my vscode: can I save the installed extensions to a file?
The following extensions are shown as deprecated:
Node.js Extension Pack
npm
TypeScript Hero

"fortran.fortls.path": "C:\Users\jbabe\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python310",

This needs to point to the fortls.exe

"fortran.linter.compilerPath": "C:\Strawbwrry\Fortran\bin"

and this needs to point to gfortran.exe

Hello,
I think the corresponding paths are OK, see the output from the Modern Fortran edition:

Hello,
my solution: I now use: Visual Studio 2022 with the Intel Fortran compiler ifort/ifx.
This allows me to create Fortran source files and create the program.
Kind Regards
