checksyntax_auto doens't work

[DerpDarako]

Hello,

I tried your plugin for php file but if I want to check the syntax I have to press F5 because if I save my file with :w nothing happens...

In your doc:

g:checksyntax_auto (default: 1) If 1, enable automatic syntax checks after saving a file. If 2, enable automatic syntax checks when saving and loading a

So I think I don't need to set up checksyntax_auto in my vimrc... I tried with the option in my vimrc:

let checksyntax_auto = 1

Whatever, nothing happens when I press :w

It's weird, isn't it?

The plugin probably doesn't recognize that php is installed. Is php in your path? Which OS do you use? Windows?

What's the result of

 :echo executable("php")
 :echo checksyntax#MaybeUseCygpath(g:checksyntax#defs#php#cmd)

Hello,

Thank you for your quick replay. The machine is Linux.

I did your commands:

:echo executable("php") 1 echo checksyntax#MaybeUseCygpath(g:checksyntax#defs#php#cmd) Nothing appears

echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games

type php php est /usr/bin/php

If I understand I have to set up something?

In the past, users had difficulties with php because of certain flags that influence how php reports errors. You might read :help g:checksyntax#defs#php#args and the php-related issues:

 https://github.com/tomtom/checksyntax_vim/issues/7

By default, checksyntax uses

 php -l -n -d display_errors=1 -d error_log= -d error_reporting=E_ALL

You might want to check whether this command reports errors on stdout on your machine.

I think syntastic uses

 -d error_reporting=E_ALL -l -d display_errors=1 -d log_errors=0 -d 

xdebug.cli_color=0

It could be this yields better results.

I'm not sure it's the source of my issue :

checksyntax#defs#php#args looks ok because it works fine when I use your default single key F5.

When I press F5 i got the error window but it doesn't appear when I use :w

checksyntax#defs#php#args looks ok because it works fine when I use your default single key . Sorry, I got you wrong. I thought it doesn't work either way.

When I press i got the error window but it doesn't appear when I use |:w|

auto checks are now disabled by default. You have to set g:checksyntax#auto_enable_rx so that it matches the filetypes you want to check automatically. E.g. you could use "." to automatically check any files or "^php$" to check only php files.

HTH

Yeah, thank you... I'm so sorry you said it in your doc :

See also |g:checksyntax|, |g:checksyntax#auto_enable_rx

It works fine.

you said it in your doc :

I will put more emphasis on that part.
