No such file or directory when starting neovim about neotags.nvim HOT 3 CLOSED

Ok, after reading some other issues, I found that I need Universal Ctags instead of Exuberant. After installing it everything works.

Not having Universal Ctags is indeed the issue. The way the plugin parses the tags makes use of some of the new features added to Universal Ctags over Exuberant. I modified the script to give a warning if the wrong version is installed rather than throwing up that rather unsightly stacktrace. I also added a check in case the tags file isn't found where it is expected to be for whatever other reason. That check should have been there to begin with.

Even though you solved your problem yourself, thanks for opening this issue. I should really update the documentation to reflect the fact that Universal Ctags is required.

Thanks to you for this awesome plugin. I was getting a bit annoyed with others because they didn't work properly
