Use different strategies for background and save linting.

@ottob this should now work with the custom SublimeLinter environment.

[alecthomas]

Let me know if there are any issues.

[ottob]

Still path issue:

env = os.environ.copy()
if self.env:
    env.update(self.env)
print('gometalinter: path: {}'.format(env['PATH']))

gometalinter: path: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

SublimeLinter: computed PATH using /bin/bash:
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/go/bin
/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin
/Users/ottob/go/bin

This is when I don't start from Terminal

[ottob]

And sorry about the tmpdir comment. I didn't realise that it was a Python function from std lib.

[ottob]

self.env is not set so env.update is not run.

[ottob]

And I still get gometalinter: path: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

even if I edit my SublimeLinter config:

"paths": {
            "linux": [],
            "osx": [
                "~/go/bin"
            ],
            "windows": []
        },

[alecthomas]

Yeah I've found the problem. I need to use lint.util.popen from SublimeLinter, which does all the env setup magic. Should be done soon.

[ottob]

Nice!

[alecthomas]

Okay, try that one out.

[ottob]

Works as expected now. Thanks!

[alecthomas]

Brilliant!

[ottob]

Perhaps also update the README with known issue: linting code using vendoring will not work in background mode.
