===============================================================================
1. Introduction *ale-introduction*
ALE provides the means to run linters asynchronously in Vim in a variety of
languages and tools. ALE sends the contents of buffers to linter programs
using the |job-control| features available in Vim 8 and NeoVim. For Vim 8,
Vim must be compiled with the |job| and |channel| and |timer| features
as a minimum.
ALE supports the following key features:
1. Running linters when text is changed.
2. Running linters when files are opened.
3. Running linters when files are saved. (When a global flag is set.)
4. Populating the |loclist| with warning and errors.
5. Setting |signs| with warnings and errors for error markers.
6. Using |echo| to show error messages when the cursor moves.

3. Global Options *ale-options*
g:airline#extensions#ale#enabled *g:airline#extensions#ale#enabled*
Type: |Number|
Default: `1`
Enables or disables the |airline|'s native extension for ale, which displays
warnings and errors in the status line, prefixed by
|airline#extensions#ale#error_symbol| and
|airline#extensions#ale#warning_symbol|.
g:ale_echo_cursor *g:ale_echo_cursor*
Type: |Number|
Default: `1`
When this option is set to `1`, a truncated message will be echoed when a
cursor is near a warning or error. ALE will attempt to find the warning or
error at a column nearest to the cursor when the cursor is resting on a line
which contains a warning or error. This option can be set to `0` to disable
this behaviour.
The format of the message can be customizable in |g:ale_echo_msg_format|.
g:ale_echo_msg_error_str *g:ale_echo_msg_error_str*
Type: |String|
Default: `Error`
The string used for error severity in the echoed message.
Note |`g:ale_echo_cursor`| should be set to 1
Note |`g:ale_echo_msg_format`| should contain the `%severity%` handler
g:ale_echo_msg_format *g:ale_echo_msg_format*
Type: |String|
Default: `%s`
This variable defines the format of the echoed message. The `%s` is the
error message itself, and it can contain the following handlers:
- `%linter%` for linter's name
- `%severity%` for the type of severity
Note |`g:ale_echo_cursor`| should be setted to 1
g:ale_echo_msg_warning_str *g:ale_echo_msg_warning_str*
Type: |String|
Default: `Warning`
The string used for warning severity in the echoed message.
Note |`g:ale_echo_cursor`| should be set to 1
Note |`g:ale_echo_msg_format`| should contain the `%severity%` handler
g:ale_keep_list_window_open *g:ale_keep_list_window_open*
Type: |Number|
Default: `0`
When set to `1`, this option will keep the loclist or quickfix windows
event after all warnings/errors have been removed for files. By default
the loclist or quicfix windows will be closed automatically when there
are no warnings or errors.
See: |g:ale_open_list|
g:ale_lint_delay *g:ale_lint_delay*
Type: |Number|
Default: `200`
This variable controls the milliseconds delay after which the linters will
be run after text is changed. This option is only meaningful with the
|g:ale_lint_on_text_changed| variable set to `1`.
g:ale_lint_on_enter *g:ale_lint_on_enter*
Type: |Number|
Default: `1`
When this option is set to `1`, the |BufEnter| and |BufRead| events will be
used to apply linters when buffers are first opened. If this is not desired,
this variable can be set to `0` in your vimrc file to disable this
behaviour.
g:ale_lint_on_save *g:ale_lint_on_save*
Type: |Number|
Default: `0`
This option will make ALE run the linters whenever a file is saved when it
it set to `1` in your vimrc file. This option can be used in combination
with the |g:ale_lint_on_enter| and |g:ale_lint_on_text_changed| options to
make ALE only check files after that have been saved, if that is what is
desired.
g:ale_lint_on_text_changed *g:ale_lint_on_text_changed*
Type: |Number|
Default: `1`
By default, ALE will check files with the various supported programs when
text is changed by using the |TextChanged| event. If this behaviour is not
desired, then this option can be disabled by setting it to 0. The
|g:ale_lint_delay| variable will be used to set a |timer_start()| on a
delay, and each change to a file will continue to call |timer_stop()| and
|timer_start()| repeatedly until the timer ticks by, and the linters will be
run. The checking of files will run in the background, so it should not
inhibit editing files.
g:ale_linter_aliases *g:ale_linter_aliases*
Type: |Dictionary|
Default: `{}`
The |g:ale_linter_aliases| option can be used to set aliases from one
filetype to another. A given filetype can be mapped to use the linters
run for another given filetype.
This |Dictionary| will be merged with a default dictionary containing the
following values: >
{
\ 'zsh': 'sh',
\ 'csh': 'sh',
\}
<
For example, if you wish to map a new filetype `'foobar'` to run the `'php'`
linters, you could set the following: >
let g:ale_linter_aliases = {'foobar': 'php'}
<
When combined with the |g:ale_linters| option, the original filetype
(`'foobar'`) will be used for determining which linters to run,
not the aliased type (`'php'`). This allows an aliased type to run a
different set of linters from the type it is being mapped to.
g:ale_linters *g:ale_linters*
Type: |Dictionary|
Default: `{}`
The |g:ale_linters| option sets a |Dictionary| mapping a filetype
to a |List| of linter programs to be run when checking particular filetypes.
Only the filetypes specified in the dictionary will be limited in terms
of which linters will be run.
This |Dictionary| will be merged with a default dictionary containing the
following values: >
{
\ 'zsh': ['shell'],
\ 'csh': ['shell'],
\}
<
This option can be used to enable only a particular set of linters for a
file. For example, you can enable only 'eslint' for JavaScript files: >
let g:ale_linters = {'javascript': ['eslint']}
<
If you want to disable all linters for a particular filetype, you can pass
an empty list of linters as the value: >
let g:ale_linters = {'javascript': []}
<
All linters available for a given filetype can be enabled by using the
string `'all'`: >
let g:ale_linters = {'c': 'all'}
<
g:ale_open_list *g:ale_open_list*
Type: |Number|
Default: `0`
When set to `1`, this will cause ALE to automatically open a window for
the loclist (|lopen|) or for the quickfix list instead if
|g:ale_set_quickfix| is `1`. (|copen|)
The window will be kept open until all warnings or errors are cleared,
including those not set by ALE, unless |g:ale_keep_list_window_open| is set
to `1`, in which case the window will be kept open until closed manually.
g:ale_set_loclist *g:ale_set_loclist*
Type: |Number|
Default: `1`
When this option is set to `1`, the |loclist| will be populated with any
warnings and errors which are found by ALE. This feature can be used to
implement jumping between errors through typical use of |lnext| and |lprev|.
g:ale_set_quickfix *g:ale_set_quickfix*
Type: |Number|
Default: `0`
When this option is set to `1`, the |quickfix| list will be populated with any
warnings and errors which are found by ALE, instead of the |loclist|. The
loclist will never be populated when this option is on.
g:ale_set_signs *g:ale_set_signs*
Type: |Number|
Default: `has('signs')`
When this option is set to `1`, the |sign| column will be populated with
signs marking where errors and warnings appear in the file. The
`ALEErrorSign` and `ALEWarningSign` highlight groups will be used to provide
highlighting for the signs. The text used for signs can be customised with
the |g:ale_sign_error| and |g:ale_sign_warning| options.
g:ale_sign_column_always *g:ale_sign_column_always*
Type: |Number|
Default: `0`
By default, the sign gutter will disappear when all warnings and errors have
been fixed for a file. When this option is set to `1`, the sign column will
remain open. This can be preferable if you don't want the text in your file
to move around as you edit a file.
g:ale_sign_error *g:ale_sign_error*
Type: |String|
Default: `'>>'`
This string can be changed to change the characters used for the sign gutter
for lines which at least one error on them. Lines with both errors and
warnings on them will show the error marker, as errors take precedence.
g:ale_sign_offset *g:ale_sign_offset*
Type: |Number|
Default: `1000000`
This variable controls offset from which numeric IDs will be generated for
new signs. Signs cannot share the same ID values, so when two Vim plugins
set signs at the same time, the IDs have to be configured such that they do
not conflict with one another. If the IDs used by ALE are found to conflict
with some other plugin, this offset value can be changed, and hopefully both
plugins will work together. See |sign-place| for more information on how
signs are set.
g:ale_sign_warning *g:ale_sign_warning*
Type: |String|
Default: `'--'`
This string can be changed to change the characters used for the sign gutter
for lines which at least one warning on them.
g:ale_statusline_format *g:ale_statusline_format*
Type: |List|
Default: `['%d error(s)', '%d warning(s)', 'OK']`
This variable defines the format of |`ale#statusline#status()`| output.
- The 1st element is for errors
- The 2nd element is for warnings
- The 3rd element is for when no errors are detected
g:ale_warn_about_trailing_whitespace *g:ale_warn_about_trailing_whitespace*
Type: |Number|
Default: `1`
When this option is set to `1`, warnings relating to trailing whitespace on
lines will be shown in signs, the loclist, and echo messages, etc. If these
errors are found to be too irritating while edits are being made, and you
have configured Vim to automatically remove trailing whitespace, then you
can disable these warnings for some linters by setting this option to `0`.
Not all linters may respect this option. If a linter does not, please file a
bug report, and it may be possible to add such support.
===============================================================================
4. Linter Specific Options *ale-linter-options*
Some linters have specific options which can be configured for each of them,
for customising their behaviour.

4.1. eslint *ale-linter-options-eslint*
g:ale_javascript_eslint_executable *g:ale_javascript_eslint_executable*
Type: |String|
Default: `'eslint'`
ALE will first discover the eslint path in an ancestor node_modules
directory. If no such path exists, this variable will be used instead.
This variable can be set to change the path to eslint. If you have eslint_d
installed, you can set this option to use eslint_d instead.
If you wish to use only a globally installed version of eslint, set
|g:ale_javascript_eslint_use_global| to `1`.

Type: |String|
Default: `''`
This variable can be set to pass additional options to eslint.
g:ale_javascript_eslint_use_global *g:ale_javascript_eslint_use_global*
Type: |String|
Default: `0`
This variable controls whether or not ALE will search for a local path for
eslint first. If this variable is set to `1`, then ALE will always use the
global version of eslint, in preference to locally installed versions of
eslint in node_modules.

ALE will first discover the jshint path in an ancestor node_modules
directory. If no such path exists, this variable will be used instead.
This variable can be changed to change the path to jshint.
If you wish to use only a globally installed version of jshint, set
|g:ale_javascript_jshint_use_global| to `1`.
g:ale_javascript_jshint_use_global *g:ale_javascript_jshint_use_global*
Type: |String|
Default: `0`
This variable controls whether or not ALE will search for a local path for
jshint first. If this variable is set to `1`, then ALE will always use the
global version of jshint, in preference to locally installed versions of
jshint in node_modules.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.4. phpcs *ale-linter-options-phpcs*
g:ale_php_phpcs_standard *g:ale_php_phpcs_standard*
Type: |String|
Default: `''`

g:ale_html_tidy_executable *g:ale_html_tidy_executable*
Type: |String|
Default: `'tidy'`
This variable can be changed to change the path to tidy.
g:ale_html_tidy_args *g:ale_html_tidy_args*
Type: |String|
Default: `'-q -e -language en'`
This variable can be changed to change the arguments provided to the
executable.
ALE will attempt to automatically detect the appropriate file encoding to
provide to html-tidy, and fall back to UTF-8 when encoding detection fails.
The recognized file encodings are as follows: ascii, big5, cp1252 (win1252),
cp850 (ibm858), cp932 (shiftjis), iso-2022-jp (iso-2022), latin1, macroman
(mac), sjis (shiftjis), utf-16le, utf-16, utf-8

Type: |String|
Default: The current shell (`$SHELL`) or `'bash'` if that cannot be read.
When ALE runs the linter for shells with the `-n` flag, it will attempt to
read the shell from the shebang (`#!`) line from the shell script to
determine the shell program to run. When this detection fails, this variable
will be used instead.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

g:ale_html_htmlhint_use_global *g:ale_html_htmlhint_use_global*
Type: |String|
Default: `0`
This variable controls whether or not ALE will search for a local path for
htmlhint first. If this variable is set to `1`, then ALE will always use the

g:ale_python_flake8_args *g:ale_python_flake8_args*
Type: |String|
Default: `''`
This variable can be changed to add command-line arguments to the flake8
invocation.
For example, to dynamically switch between programs targeting Python 2 and
Python 3, you may want to set >
let g:ale_python_flake8_executable = 'python3' " or 'python' for Python 2
let g:ale_python_flake8_args = '-m flake8'
<
after making sure it's installed for the appropriate Python versions (e.g.

g:ale_scss_stylelint_executable *g:ale_scss_stylelint_executable*
Type: |String|
Default: `'stylelint'`
ALE will first discover the stylelint path in an ancestor node_modules
directory. If no such path exists, this variable will be used instead.
If you wish to use only a globally installed version of stylelint, set
|g:ale_scss_stylelint_use_global| to `1`.
g:ale_scss_stylelint_use_global *g:ale_scss_stylelint_use_global*
Type: |String|
Default: `0`
This variable controls whether or not ALE will search for a local path for
stylelint first. If this variable is set to `1`, then ALE will always use the
global version of stylelint, in preference to locally installed versions of
stylelint in node_modules.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.22. rustc *ale-linter-options-rustc*
g:ale_rust_ignore_error_codes *g:ale_rust_ignore_error_codes*
Type: |List| of |String|s
Default: []
This variable can contain error codes which will be ignored. For example, to
ignore most errors regarding failed imports, put this in your .vimrc
>
let g:ale_rust_ignore_error_codes = ['E0432', 'E0433']
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.24. python-mypy *ale-linter-options-python-mypy*
g:ale_python_mypy_options *g:ale_python_mypy_options*
Type: |String|
Default: `''`
This variable can be changed to add command-line arguments to the mypy
invocation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.24. python-pylint *ale-linter-options-python-pylint*
g:ale_python_pylint_executable *g:ale_python_pylint_executable*
Type: |String|
Default: `'pylint'`
This variable can be changed to modify the executable used for pylint.
g:ale_python_pylint_options *g:ale_python_pylint_options*
Type: |String|
Default: `''`
This variable can be changed to add command-line arguments to the pylint
invocation.
For example, to dynamically switch between programs targeting Python 2 and
Python 3, you may want to set >
let g:ale_python_pylint_executable = 'python3' " or 'python' for Python 2
let g:ale_python_pylint_options = '-rcfile /path/to/pylint.rc'
after making sure it's installed for the appropriate Python versions (e.g.
`python3 -m pip install --user pylint`).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.25. erlang *ale-linter-options-erlang*
g:ale_erlang_erlc_options *g:ale_erlang_erlc_options*
Type: |String|
Default: '`''`'
This variable controls additional parameters passed to `erlc`, such as `-I`
or `-pa`.

5. Linter Integration Notes *ale-linter-integration*
Some linters may have requirements for some other plugins being installed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.1. ocaml-merlin *ale-integration-ocaml-merlin*
To use merlin linter for OCaml source code you need to make sure Merlin for
Vim is correctly configured. See the corresponding Merlin wiki page for
detailed instructions
(https://github.com/the-lambda-church/merlin/wiki/vim-from-scratch).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.2. rust *ale-integration-rust*
Since Vim does not detect the rust file type out-of-the-box, you need the
runtime files for rust from here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust.vim
Note that there are two possible linters for rust files:
1. rustc -- The Rust compiler is used to check the currently edited file.
So, if your project consists of multiple files, you will get some errors
when you use e.g. a struct which is defined in another file. You can use
|g:ale_rust_ignore_error_codes| to ignore some of these errors.
2. cargo -- If your project is managed by Cargo, the whole project is
checked. That means that all errors are properly shown, but cargo can
only operate on the files written on disk. That means it is highly
recommended to turn off |g:ale_lint_on_text_changed| and to turn on
|g:ale_lint_on_save|.
Also note that rustc 1.12. or later is needed.
===============================================================================
6. Commands/Keybinds *ale-commands*
ALEPrevious *ALEPrevious*
ALEPreviousWrap *ALEPreviousWrap*
ALENext *ALENext*
ALENextWrap *ALENextWrap*
*ale-navigation-commands*
Move between warnings or errors in a buffer.
`ALEPrevious` and `ALENext` will stop at the top and bottom of a file, while
`ALEPreviousWrap` and `ALENextWrap` will wrap around the file to find
the last or first warning or error in the file, respectively.
The following |<Plug>| mappings are defined for the commands: >
<Plug>(ale_previous) - ALEPrevious
<Plug>(ale_previous_wrap) - ALEPreviousWrap
<Plug>(ale_next) - ALENext
<Plug>(ale_next_wrap) - ALENextWrap
<
For example, these commands could be bound to the keys Ctrl + j
and Ctrl + k: >
" Map movement through errors without wrapping.
nmap <silent> <C-k> <Plug>(ale_previous)
nmap <silent> <C-j> <Plug>(ale_next)
" OR map keys to use wrapping.
nmap <silent> <C-k> <Plug>(ale_previous_wrap)
nmap <silent> <C-j> <Plug>(ale_next_wrap)
<
===============================================================================
7. API *ale-api*
ale#Queue(delay) *ale#Queue()*
Run linters for the current buffer, based on the filetype of the buffer,
with a given `delay`. A `delay` of `0` will run the linters immediately.
The linters will always be run in the background. Calling this function
again from the same buffer
ale#engine#GetLoclist(buffer) *ale#engine#GetLoclist()*
Given a buffer number, this function will rerurn the list of warnings and
errors reported by ALE for a given buffer in the format accepted by
|setqflist()|.
ale#linter#Define(filetype, linter) *ale#linter#Define()*
Given a |String| for a filetype and a |Dictionary| Describing a linter
configuration, add a linter for the given filetype. The dictionaries each
offer the following options:
`name` The name of the linter. These names will be used by
|g:ale_linters| option for enabling/disabling
particular linters.
This argument is required.
`callback` A |String| or |Funcref| for a callback function
accepting two arguments (buffer, lines), for a
buffer number the output is for, and the lines of
output from a linter.
This callback function should return a |List| of
|Dictionary| objects in the format accepted by
|setqflist()|. The |List| will be sorted by line and
then column order so it can be searched with a binary
search by in future before being passed on to the
|loclist|, etc.
This argument is required.
`executable` A |String| naming the executable itself which
will be run. This value will be used to check if the
program requested is installed or not.
Either this or the `executable_callback` argument
must be provided.
`executable_callback ` A |String| or |Funcref| for a callback function
accepting a buffer number. A |String| should be
returned for the executable to check. This can be
used in place of `executable` when more complicated
processing is needed.
`command` A |String| for an executable to run asynchronously.
This command will be fed the lines from the buffer to
check, and will produce the lines of output given to
the `callback`.
Either this or the `command_callback` argument must
be provided.
`command_callback` A |String| or |Funcref| for a callback function
accepting a buffer number. A |String| should be
returned for a command to run. This can be used in
place of `command` when more complicated processing
is needed.
`output_stream` A |String| for the output stream the lines of output
should be read from for the command which is run. The
accepted values are `'stdout'`, `'stderr'`, and
`'both'`. This argument defaults to `'stdout'`. This
argument can be set for linter programs which output
their errors and warnings to the stderr stream
instead of stdout. The option `'both'` will read
from both stder and stdout at the same time.
Some programs for checking for errors are not capable of receiving input
from stdin, as is required by ALE. To remedy this, a wrapper script is
provided named in the variable |g:ale#util#stdin_wrapper|. This variable
can be called with the regular arguments for any command to forward data
from stdin to the program, by way of creating a temporary file. The first
argument to the stdin wrapper must be a file extension to save the temporary
file with, and the following arguments are the command as normal.
For example: >
'command': g:ale#util#stdin_wrapper . ' .hs ghc -fno-code -v0',
<
ale#linter#Get(filetype) *ale#linter#Get()*
Return all of linters configured for a given filetype as a |List| of
|Dictionary| values in the format specified by |ale#linter#Define()|.
Filetypes may be dot-seperated to invoke linters for multiple filetypes:
for instance, the filetype `javascript.jsx` will return linters for both the
`javascript` and `jsx` filetype.
Aliases may be defined in as described in |g:ale_linter_aliases|. Aliases
are applied after dot-seperated filetypes are broken up into their
components.
ale#statusline#Status() *ale#statusline#Status()*
Return a formatted string that can be added to the statusline.
The output's format is defined in |`g:ale_statusline_format`|.
To enable it, the following should be present in your |statusline| settings: >
%{ale#statusline#Status()}
g:ale#util#stdin_wrapper *g:ale#util#stdin_wrapper*
This variable names a wrapper script for sending stdin input to programs
which cannot accept input via stdin. See |ale#linter#Define()| for more.
ALELint *ALELint*
This |User| autocommand is triggered by ALE every time it completes a lint
operation. It can be used to update statuslines, send notifications, or
complete any other operation that needs to be done after a lint run.
It can be used simply:
autocmd User ALELint echom "ALE run!"
