Plugin disables ALE linters

[michaelrommel]

I wanted to use this plugin together with ALE, the linting engine. Usually ALE finds linters for asciidoc files automatically, but whenever I also load this plugin, all default linters vanish. Not even setting manually the linter to an executable like alex helped.

Has anyone else this issue? I tried to find, what goes wrong, but I only got to a point where this plugin changes the filetype from asciidoc to asciidoctor, but I could not find, how to revert that back.

Any help would be appreciated.

It doesn't disable ALE linting. Plugin sets up asciidoctor filetype&syntax which is different to builtin asciidoc. (I don't want it to interfere with builtin, thus a separate filetype)

I don't use ALE so can't suggest anything 100% fit to the solution, but you can try to set up alex linter with:

~/.vim/after/ftplugin/asciidoctor.vim:

if exists('g:loaded_ale_dont_use_this_in_other_plugins_please')
    call ale#handlers#alex#DefineLinter('asciidoctor', '--text')
endif

There is also g:ale_linter_aliases option you can try

" In ~/.vim/vimrc, or somewhere similar.
let g:ale_linter_aliases = {'asciidoctor': ['asciidoc']}
let g:ale_linters = {'asciidoctor': ['alex']}
