vint not running

[mosheavni]

Describe the bug It seems that linting for vim with vint is not running, while shellcheck is working great. I made sure vint is installed, and there are diagnostics for vim.

$ vint --enable-neovim .vimrc
.vimrc:1:1: Use scriptencoding when multibyte char exists (see :help :scriptencoding)

I added:

  "diagnostic-languageserver.debug": true,
  "diagnostic-languageserver.trace.server": "verbose",

To see the output channel (without them, the channel just does not exist, and it's poorly documented), my .vimrc's diagnostic is empty even though vint does return output.

My coc-settings.json:

{
  "coc.preferences.useQuickfixForLocations": true,
  "tsserver.reportStyleChecksAsWarnings": true,
  "diagnostic.checkCurrentLine": true,
  "diagnostic.errorSign": "✘",
  "diagnostic.hintSign": "",
  "diagnostic.infoSign": "",
  "diagnostic.warningSign": "",
  "diagnostic-languageserver.filetypes": {
    "sh": "shellcheck",
    "vim": "vint"
  },
  "diagnostic-languageserver.formatFiletypes": {
    "terraform": "tffmt",
    "sh": "shfmt"
  },
  "diagnostic-languageserver.debug": true,
  "diagnostic-languageserver.trace.server": "verbose",
  "suggest.timeout": 5000,
  "suggest.enablePreview": true,
  "suggest.triggerAfterInsertEnter": true
}

Expected behavior I'd like to have vim linting with vint.

vint's problem for stdin input.

vint's problem for stdin input.

What does that mean? Can we fix it somehow?

[iamcco]

You can test cat .vimrc | vint --enable-neovim - refer https://github.com/Vimjas/vint/issues/305

[yaegassy]

The version of "vint" may be outdated.

It is possible to install 0.4a3 by specifying --pre with the pip3 command.

Or you can also install it directly from the repository.

# version: 0.4a3
pip3 install --pre vim-vint

# version: 0.4a4.dev9+g9078dd6
pip3 install git+https://github.com/Vimjas/vint

[mosheavni]

Thanks @yaegassy it's working now:

pip3 uninstall vim-vint
pip3 install --pre vim-vint

[randallwc]

on mac to fix you can also do

brew install vint --HEAD
