opentofu-ls doesn't look for the tofu binary

[albertodonato]

Language Server Version

0.34.3

Terraform Version

OpenTofu v1.7.1 on linux_amd64

Client Version

emacs 29.4 with lsp

Terraform Configuration

not relevant

Steps to Reproduce

with opentofu-ls and tofu binaries in path, trying to format code in the editor (emacs, with lsp and lsp-terraform-ls packages enabled) fails to find the terraform binary.

I've tried setting both terraform-ls.openTofu.path and terraform-ls.terraform.path options to the location of the tofu binary, but that doesn't seem to work.
Oddly even symlinking tofu to terraform doesn't seem to work.

Is there a way to point terraform-ls to use the tofu binary?

Expected Behavior

It should be possible to configure opentofu-ls to look for the tofu binary.

Possibly it should default to that, over the terraform binary?

Actual Behavior

opentofu-ls always looks for the terraform CLI binary.

Hello @albertodonato and thanks for reporting the issue!

The language server is still in WIP status so it might be buggy in some ways. We are making it ready to be used in pair with VS Code extension so I believe it was not tested properly with other editors. Once we release the extension, we are going to rely on the community contributions for most of the bug fixes and improvements.

We are happy to assign someone from the community to work on that issue.
