Any Chance we could make this work in Sublime Text?

I tried emacs specifically for purscheck, but just can't abandon my beloved sublime text. Do you have any idea what it would take to make it work?

Hi,

Reading http://www.sublimelinter.com/en/latest/creating_a_linter.html it looks like it could be made to work. We'd probably need to

• define a cmd attribute for the plugin that passes the name of the file to the purscheck executable twice after a file save (or passes both the temporary file and the original file)
• translate the regex defined in purescript.el to a regular string-based format suitable for the regex attribute of the plugin

[Fresheyeball]

Where is the regex in purescript.el I'm not seeing it. Also why pass the paths twice? And what do you mean by temporary file?

[spion]

The regex is defined using the rx macro syntax in this part of the file. (Sorry about that) It captures file-name, line, column and message

I took that from flycheck's haskell error parser and modified it a little for purescript. I think that the equivalent regex string in python would be

r'^(?:Error at |")(?P<filename>[^"]+)\"? \(?line (?P<line>\d+), column (?P<column>\d+)\)?:\s*\n(?P<message>\s*.+(?:\n *.+)*)$'

purscheck accepts two arguments:

• the first is the temporary file containing the current editor buffer
• the second one is the actual file

purscheck takes the content of the temporary file, but uses the actual file to find .purescript-paths - that way it can run on unsaved buffers

[Fresheyeball]

When you say it takes the arguments, the temporary file and the actual file. Do you mean the files themselves (some kind of file object), or the file paths (strings)?

[spion]

File paths, because thats what flycheck provides. Although I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to add stdin support for the editor buffer.
