8## Setup
9
10### File detection
11
12By default, to avoid mishandling non-Ansible YAML files, the Ansible Language is not associated with any file extensions by default. To change this behavior you can add a `"file_types"` section to the Zed settings inside your project (`.zed/settings.json`) or your Zed user settings (`~/.config/zed/settings.json`) to match your folder/naming conventions. For example:
13
14```json
15"file_types": {
16 "Ansible": [
17 "**.ansible.yml",
18 "**.ansible.yaml",
19 "**/defaults/*.yml",
20 "**/defaults/*.yaml",
21 "**/meta/*.yml",
22 "**/meta/*.yaml",
23 "**/tasks/*.yml",
24 "**/tasks/*.yaml",
25 "**/handlers/*.yml",
26 "**/handlers/*.yaml",
27 "**/group_vars/*.yml",
28 "**/group_vars/*.yaml",
29 "**/playbooks/*.yml",
30 "**/playbooks/*.yaml",
31 "**playbook*.yml",
32 "**playbook*.yaml"
33 ]
34 }
35```

37Feel free to modify this list as per your needs.

39### LSP Configuration
40
41LSP options for this extension can be configured under Zed's settings file. To get the best experience, add the following configuration under the `"lsp"` section in your `~/.zed/settings.json`:
42
43```json
44"lsp": {
45 // Note, the Zed Ansible extension prefixes all settings with `ansible`
46 // so instead of using `ansible.ansible.path` use `ansible.path`.
47 "ansible-language-server": {
48 "settings": {
49 "ansible": {
50 "path": "ansible"
51 },
52 "executionEnvironment": {
53 "enabled": false
54 },
55 "python": {
56 "interpreterPath": "python3"
57 },
58 "validation": {
59 "enabled": true,
60 // To enable linting, manually install ansible-lint and make sure it is your PATH
61 "lint": {
62 "enabled": true,
63 "path": "ansible-lint"
64 }
65 }
66 }
67 }
68}
69```

71This config was conveniently adopted from [nvim-lspconfig](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/ad32182cc4a03c8826a64e9ced68046c575fdb7d/lua/lspconfig/server_configurations/ansiblels.lua#L6-L23).

73A full list of options/settings, that can be passed to the server, can be found at the project's page [here](https://github.com/ansible/vscode-ansible/blob/5a89836d66d470fb9d20e7ea8aa2af96f12f61fb/docs/als/settings.md).
74Feel free to modify option values as needed.
