ccls stuck in "starting"

ccls used to work perfectly for me in Emacs but at some point it stopped working and I have been unable to figure out why. When I open a new cc-mode buffer LSP :: Connected to [ccls:<pid>/starting]. is written to *Messages* with ccls always being in starting.

ccls is running and it doesn't crash as it keeps running with the same pid. I have set ccls-args to '("--log-file=/tmp/ccls.log") and lsp-log-io to t however /tmp/ccls.log is always empty, so are the *ccls* and *ccls::stderr* buffers.

lsp-doctor does not report any errors.

Checking for Native JSON support: OK
Check emacs supports `read-process-output-max': OK
Check `read-process-output-max' default has been changed from 4k: OK
Byte compiled against Native JSON (recompile lsp-mode if failing when Native JSON available): OK
`gc-cons-threshold' increased?: OK
Using gccemacs with emacs lisp native compilation (https://akrl.sdf.org/gccemacs.html): NOT AVAILABLE (OPTIONAL)

If I remove ccls from the path then lsp-mode will pick clangd instead and it will start indexing my code right away.

If I run ccls --index . at the root of my project ccls will start indexing it without issues.

*lsp-log: ccls:<pid>* contains the following (I replaced my project specific paths):
