6 years ago Well, nevermind, I'm an idiot. I just took some time to really look at things, and rubocop has a parameter called --display-cop-names, which displays cop names in error messages.
With that argument, the message comes out as Style/ClassVars: Replace class var @@language with a class instance var.
So technically SublimeLinter-rubocop already supports this by adding an arg in SublimeLinter settings.
In cases where a developer would want to disable a cop in order to avoid linter errors, it would be useful to display the cop name responsible for the error to quickly find the one to disable.
For example, if I have the Style/ClassVars cop active, I might get this error message:
Replace class var @@language with a class instance var.I think it would be nice to have this message instead:
Replace class var @@language with a class instance var. (Style/ClassVars)I know the json format outputs the cop name, but that would mean quite a radical change of approach to the linter, having to parse JSON to display linter errors. There may be other formats giving that information, but I do not know which ones they would be.
