The executable for the Alex linter is currently hard-coded as 'alex',
which is an issue given the fact that it conflicts with the Haskell
lexer generator, whose executable is also called 'alex', has been around
a dozen years before the linter, and is packaged in the official
repositories of the major Linux distributions.
This commit adds options to use a local executable for the alex linter
(which is a node package), and an option to set a custom executable.
As side changes:
* The pattern in the alex handler is made more readable by turnig it
into a very-magic regex.
* Alex handles plain text, markdown, and HTML. Specific flags for HTML
and markdown are provided when instantiating the linters for the
respective filetypes, while before those formats were treated as plain
text.
Similar to other linters/fixers, by default change to the directory of
the file being fixed before invoking `black`, which allows the tool to
read project-specific configuration (pyproject.toml)
Fixes#2218
* Add initial ameba (crystal linter) support
Note that this depends on saved file as `ameba` does not have STDIN
support
* Fix formatting of crystal linter documentation
* Add tests for ameba executable customization
* Extended statusline.vim to provide an efficient way to access the first errors,warnings,stylerrors,stylewarnings,etc from the loclist.
* Added documentation and help for the new API function.
Currently, we detect the linter root based on a variety of techniques.
However, these techniques are not foolproof. For example, clangd works
fine for many things without a compile_commands.json file, and Go
projects may be built outside of the GOPATH to take advantage of Go
1.11's automatic module support.
Add global and buffer-specific variables to allow the user to specify
the root, either as a string or a funcref. Make the funcrefs accept the
buffer number as an argument to make sure that they can function easily
in an asynchronous environment.
We define the global variable in the main plugin, since the LSP linter
code is not loaded unless required, and we want the variable to be able
to be read correctly by :ALEInfo regardless.
All linters should have a name variable set in their dictionary, and
code should be able to rely on that. Fix this test such that its example
linter contains a name entry.
* Mimic Prettier's default parser by setting it to `babylon`
* Add tests to check default Prettier `parser`
* Set Prettier default parser based on version
* Update the comment to explain the reason for an explicit default
* Add textDocument/typeDefinition for LSP
Doc to spec https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specification#textDocument_typeDefinition
This works like textDocument/definition but resolves a location of a
type of an expression under the cursor.
I'm not sure what to do with tsserver though.
* Fix passing column to LSP
* test_go_to_definition: wording
* Add tests for textDocument/typeDefinition
* Add docs for textDocument/typeDefinition
From LSP spec:
> A range in a text document expressed as (zero-based) start and end
> positions. A range is comparable to a selection in an editor. Therefore
> the end position is exclusive.
