Parsing .sss files for lint

[morajabi]

It seems it doesn't support SugarSS at all. I moved from CSS Lint to this just because of that!

plz fix that ASAP.

Wow, in the future you might want to change your tone. This is an open source project being maintained by volunteers, not some product you've paid money for and are guaranteed support.

SugarSS files should be being recognized as PostCSS files, at least according to the only language file for Atom for it that I see. What are you seeing when you run Editor: Log Cursor Scope from the command palette?

SugarSS files should be being recognized as PostCSS files

I think that might be the cause. As .sss files (like .less and .scss ones) require the syntax option to be set. For SugarSS syntax, the option is "sugarss".

One caveat with SugarSS syntax is that it's not entirely compatible with stylelint-config-standard. This might complicate the tests a little.

I'm not familiar with atom plugins, although I'm curious and eager to learn a bit more about them. Is there a central repo of language files somewhere? And do those file map extensions to "scopes", or am I'm way-off?

P.S. Thanks for the quick release of the 6.6-compatible version btw :)

Atom's package list can be searched here, there is nothing specific for languages, other than searching for language 😛.

A package can define a language, which at it's simplest is just a list of file extensions, but can be parts of a file embedded within another. It marks the file with a scope for the language, usually in the form of source.languagename, with embedded parts being source.embedded.languagename.

This used to be the one to use for SugarSS support, and defined .sss files as source.css.sugarss. They deprecated their package in favor of this one though, which specifies SugarSS as source.postcss.

It seems like autocomplete providers are also having issues with this from this issue, maybe we can get some more visibility on the issue and get it fixed.

The linter system in Atom is based on the scope of the current cursor, since that's the surest way of knowing what linters could know how to understand the current code. In this case since the scope is telling us that the file is PostCSS, that's how linter-stylelint is setting itself up for.

Put a PR up on that language that should let us fix things here once it gets released.

Thanks kindly for the all the detailed information! Very informative.

I think I understand a little better the internal workings now.

Excellent. Fingers crossed.

Thanks again for your continued work on this plugin... I suspect it's one of the more popular ways that people use stylelint!

[Arcanemagus]

@jeddy3 If you want more information on how that whole system works, it's mostly the TextMate grammar system, unfortunately Atom hasn't really documented the details yet so some of how it works is just guesswork.

[jeddy3]

Very interesting.

Hi there! So I'm trying to use this linter with a .sss file right now, but it's not activating. When I did the cursor source thing, it said source.postcss, which I assume means it should be working.

Is there any way I can do any further debugging here that might be helpful?

[Arcanemagus]

Actually @jescalan stylint requires special configuration to work properly with SugarSS, and until @azat-io merges https://github.com/azat-io/atom-language-postcss/pull/15, or does a similar fix, that is impossible to do here.

[azat-io]

@Arcanemagus Done!

[Arcanemagus]

Cool, I'll get proper support added here then!

[Arcanemagus]

Just a note for anyone following this, looks like there are still some rough edges around the SugarSS support in stylelint, I found https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/issues/1544 while writing up the support in here.

[Arcanemagus]

Released in v2.15.0! 🎉

[jescalan]

@Arcanemagus tested and working for me -- thanks!

[jeddy3]

I found stylelint/stylelint#1544 while writing up the support in here.

FYI, fixed in stylelint@6.8.0.
