The default for `g:ale_lint_on_insert_leave` was recently changed to 1,
so it now needs to be explicitly set to 0 to run linters only when files
are saved.
Deoplete needs `get_complete_position` method and it has a different
signature. It already fetches the input string and attempts to detect
the position with `\k*` regexp patterns.
This option is used to determine if `min_pattern_length` is ignored.
In usual, it does not start completion when the matched input string is
shorter than `min_pattern_length`. But when the string matches
`input_pattern`, it starts completion even when ths string is `''`.
This MR adds a new configuration variable `g:ale_java_javalsp_config`
that allows to configure external dependencies and class paths to the
language server.
The variable accepts a dictionary similar to the one supported by the
[vscode/settings.json](https://github.com/georgewfraser/java-language-server#settings)
file.
Deprecates: #2561
Checkstyle xml configuration is mandatory and not providing one causes
the tool to fail with the following error:
Must specify a config XML file.
Checkstyle itself contains a default configuration as part of its
assests named `/google_checks.xml`. Invoking checkstyle with this config
works even if such file does not exists in the file system:
checkstyle -c /google_checks.xml
This should be the default invocation to allow ALE to use checkstyle
with zero configuration.
Also when a user sets `g:ale_java_checkstyle_config` option, ALE should
use it to invoke checkstyle even such file does not exists in the
filesystem. This is because checkstyle is able to use configuration files
within JAR files defined in the CLASSPATH. The default `/google_checks.xml`
is an example of such configuration available within a JAR resource.
The default binary "launcher" is too generic and can get mixed with
other tools. To use this linter user must explicitly set the absolute
path of the launcher path.
isort is great, but I've come to prefer reorder-python-imports. The tool
has a focus on smaller diffs than isort. reorder-python-imports is also
a little smarter than isort which is nice.
The existing option setting handles setting additional compile flags to
pass to clang-tidy. The new option setting added here allows setting
additional clang-tidy specific flags to be passed as well.
Fixes#2324
