Not working on linux?

[TheChymera]

So, how can I make this work on my linux machine? it is enabled, and under its "Settings" section I see a Default: ... list of grammars, but it does not highlight a single (misspelled) word.

Could you help me out?

I have the same problem. Any guidance here?

I'm Seeing this as well. Ubuntu 14.4 Atom 0.190.0 4/7/2015, 2:14:19 PM

My problem was solved by following this. https://discuss.atom.io/t/how-to-enable-spell-checking-for-another-language/4895

This used to work in 0.192.0. It no longer works. I tried both 0.194.0 and 0.196.0 and neither of them do the right thing for spell check. In the console for 0.196.0 i see:

I'm experiencing this as well, unfortunately. Ubuntu 14.04 Atom 0.194.0 5/10/2015

Guts of my config.cson:

same issue here Atom 0.196.0/Ubuntu 15.04, spell-check 0.56.0

[meganeuker]

0.192.0 was the last version that worked. 0.193.0 and each subsequent release has a non-functional spell-checker, at least on Linux, and my hunch is the asar change means hunspell can't read the wordlist.

The latest release 199 says it have fixed the issue. But the still it does not work for me! Do we have to enable it separately?

As long as the package is enabled and you are editing a file that is configured to have spell checking, you should see misspelled words highlighted.

[THPubs]

The package is enabled, Tried html.erb, html, and md, none worked!

[jseto]

It worked for me without any change. Just upgrading. Try to open a markdown file with md extension and leave grammar settings empty.

[THPubs]

@jseto Tried but not working :-( What's your OS? Im on Elementary Freya (Ubuntu 14.04)

[jseto]

@THPubs same yours

Just discovered, it works in markdown but not in files like html,erb

@THPubs You can set the grammars that you want the spell check to work in on the Settings View for the Spell Check package.

Yup! @THPubs spell-check is only configured for Plain Text, Markdown, and Git Commit Messages out of the box. From the spell-check Readme:

By default spell check is enabled for the following files:

• Plain Text
• GitHub Markdown
• Git Commit Message

Oh very sorry for my mistake! I enabled for html and erb but couldn't do it for rb. Any one know how?

text.html.basic, text.html, text.html.erb,source.rb

PS Linux spell checking works!
