no output from ctags is another bug.

Expected behavior
Include the path correctly

Actual behavior
Nothing happened

no output from ctags is another bug.

Are you using ctags through snap? If so, can you try using the pre-built binary or building it yourself?
There seems to be an issue with snap not having permissions to access certain files

@Raamakrishnan I am on Windows 11, universal ctags from winlibs - MinGW

My bad not noticing that you are running on Windows. From the log you provided, I think you have not set the path to ctags binary. Can you check what you have in your workspace settings for verilog.ctags.path ?
