  • Vim - Using clippy as a linter
    4 projects | /r/rust | 14 Feb 2022
    I'm not using the rust-analyzer plugin actually. I'm using the system installed rust-analyzer and diagnostic-language-server which integrates it with vim. Is there a flag or something to make rust-analyzer return clippy results as well?
  • diagnosticls-configs-nvim - pre-defined linter and formatter configs for diagnostic-languageserver
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 6 Dec 2021
    For those who use diagnostic-languageserver, this plugin provides a list of pre-defined configurations for you to use without the hassle to figure out the config on your own. Making it easier to integrate with less code.
  • How to determine which linter is currently being used?

  • Eslint Lua Solution?
    11 projects | /r/neovim | 19 Aug 2021
    So reading through everyones suggestions it seems like diagnosticls is the way to go. Looks like this is the official neovim solution https://github.com/iamcco/diagnostic-languageserver formerly https://github.com/nvim-lua/diagnostic-nvim
  • Config to edit bash scripts with fancy LSP features, linting and formatting
    7 projects | /r/vim | 17 Jun 2021
    Does anybody have such? Maybe you could share your experience? I use coc.nvim. My eyes fell on these 3 tools. The first one is language server and it has coc extensions coc-sh. But others are not so I am not sure which vim plugin should I use to hook them up: besides diagnostic-languageserver there are syntastic and neomake - bash-language-server - shellcheck - shfmt

  • TypeScript: ESLint code actions and (experimental) diagnostics / formatting
    6 projects | /r/neovim | 22 Apr 2021
    I also added 2 experimental features designed to reduce the amount of boilerplate required to get a functional TypeScript development environment. diagnostic-languageserver and efm-langserver are powerful, but they can be tough to set up for new users, so I wanted to implement low-config, out-of-the-box alternatives for formatting and linting:
  • Losing my mind with formatting
    7 projects | /r/neovim | 7 Apr 2021
    I’ve personally never gotten efm to work at all, and I never figured out why (much like your situation). I use diagnostic-languageserver, which worked like a charm the first time. I’ve heard some users say it’s slower (TypeScript versus Go), but I’ve never had any speed issues.
  • Neovim - Why I'm switching to Native LSP over CoC
    13 projects | /r/neovim | 10 Mar 2021
    Aside from that, the biggest difference versus CoC is the ecosystem, which affects setup / tweaking time and code actions. I was able to set up ESLint diagnostics with diagnostic-languageserver, but it doesn't integrate with typescript-language-server at all, and I haven't been able to set up ESLint fixing + Prettier, either, All of that is trivial with CoC.
  • LSP and pylama…
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 2 Mar 2021
    Some LSP like diagnostic language server and efm language server do that for you. However, you will need to do some manual setup yourself for pylama to work with them, unfortunately, I don't see either of them have an example for pylama so you will have to write one yourself for those LSP servers.

  • Using nvim-lint as a null-ls alternative for linters
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 14 Aug 2023
    Personally, i think nvim-lint is the best alternative currently, specially so because it has no dependencies on external binaries. This guide assumes you already have your LSP set up with nvim-lspconfig (or an alternative like lsp-zero). You should also have an way to install the linters you are gonna need, i highly recommend Mason with mason-lspconfig.
  • This Week in Neovim #47: Archiving null-ls, native inlay hints, build.lua, flash.nvim, mini.files...
    1 project | /r/neovim | 11 Jul 2023
    Try out https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-lint for linting tools, it integrates with nvim diagnostics module, might cover all use cases of null-ls for someone shopping around.
  • null-ls will be archived
    14 projects | /r/neovim | 9 Jul 2023
    People looking for alternative can check these projects: - nvim-lint - formatter.nvim
  • Does a language server replace ALE, syntastic, and the language plugin?
    12 projects | /r/neovim | 13 May 2023
    For linting, I would recommend nvim-lint. Again the same step as before, a little bit of setup code to register your linter and you're good to go!
  • ALE now supports Neovim's diagnostics API
    5 projects | /r/neovim | 31 Jan 2023
    This will be the third linting solution to make use of the [Neovim Diagnostic] module after null-ls and nvim-lint. All can co-exist, all have the pros and cons.
  • Linting with ALE with executables in virtual envs
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 29 Dec 2022
    I use nvim-lint (https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-lint), but I still don't know exactly how to achieve your goals with it. My hunch is that it should be somewhat straightforward, since Lua code could be used to provide the executable command (i.e. if in poetry project then cmd =poetry run ...else if ... then ... end)
  • ALE alternative in Lua
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 16 Dec 2022
  • Guide: Structuring Lua plugins
    11 projects | /r/neovim | 7 Nov 2022
    It's not obvious from the website, but this is the blog of GitHub user @mfussenegger, who is a Neovim core member, one of the primary maintainers of Neovim's LSP client implementation, and the other of several excellent plugins.
  • Code Linting
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 5 Nov 2022
    https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-lint works with the diagnostics API that was created after LSP was added, to allow non-LSP to use diagnostics API. Meaning you can see LSP and linting in the same interfaces if you use this API.
  • Improved Tcl support in Neovim
    1 project | /r/Tcl | 25 Oct 2022
    As part of my work-in-progress Neovim [plugin]([https://github.com/nat-418/tcl.nvim)(https://github.com/nat-418/tcl.nvim)) for Tcl development, I added support for Nagelfar syntax checking in the nvim-lint plugin. This provides inline checking for errors as seen in the attached screenshot. If anyone has any ideas on how to create a Tcl Language Server, or knows of a project already working on one, I would be very interested to know about it.
