This system has been superseded by the new mode map code. If requested
in future, some code may be added to manipulate the active/passive types
in the mode map at runtime to provide the same functionality.
This option will allow users to fine tune when automatic syntax checking
is done.
The option should be set to something like:
let g:syntastic_mode_map = { 'mode': 'active',
\ 'active_filetypes': [],
\ 'passive_filetypes': ['puppet'] }
g:syntastic_mode_map['mode'] can take one of 2 values - "active" or
"passive". When set to active, syntastic does automatic checking as
usual. When set to "passive" syntastic only checks when the user calls
:SyntasticCheck.
The exceptions to these rules are defined in "active_filetypes"
"passive_filetypes". In passive mode, automatic checks are still done
for all filetypes in the "active_filetypes" array. In active mode,
automatic checks are not done for any filetypes in the
"passive_filetypes" array.
Previously we were blowing away highlights that were added by other
plugins via matchadd(). To prevent this we now track all the ids of the
highlights groups we add and remove them explicitly with matchdelete().
Add the g:syntastic_javascript_checker option so the user can specify
which javascript syntax checker to use. If none is specified then just
use the first syntax checker we find installed.
Define a user-configurable variable g:syntastic_python_checker and
otherwise default to an available checker.
Make the highlighting catch all pyflakes errors
Add a header to the file
Make the errorformat handle columns provided by pep8 through flake8
The previous implementation was crashing the make vim utility, after
saving it was required to use :redraw! in order to keep using the editor.
After a lot of investigation, I realized that the use of && in commands is not
of the like to the :make vim utility.
The use of the && command was updated with "{ commad1; command2 }" approach,
this way we got the result we wanted without any obnoxious side effect.
I'd attempted to find something useful in the sh/csh/tcsh man pages to
get similar shell redirection that &>/>& does, but it appears that all
fds are redirected, not just stderr and stdout.
This allows a particular file type to be disabled but still be checked
when desired. Useful for syntax checks that take a few seconds like the
puppet one.
