Feature request: better lint support about sublime-better-coffeescript

[aponxi]

You mean the checksyntax command here, right?

I would need to check the difference between coffee -l and coffeelint and see which one would be better. Then compare it to the current method... Bit of a research to be done on my part. I'll get on with it when I'm on my own computer.

Certainly it would be something nice to add! I have to ask though, is there a particular reason why you are requesting this? I mean what are the pro's and cons to the current state and coffeelint or coffee -l?

I'm asking this to improve the quality of the solution based on your needs.

For ST2 alredy exists plugin https://github.com/SublimeLinter/SublimeLinter, this one works with coffee via coffee -l.

As I know coffee -l only check is syntax ok or not. Nothing else! With http://www.coffeelint.org/ you can lint your code with some "code conversation". For example class name MUST be in camel case.

Also there are https://github.com/dotCypress/CoffeeLint. But doesn't work for me.

Here will be awesome to highlight line where you have lint error, not only message.

I can't find lint tool that can check undefined or unused variables. Idea - use jshint.

Is it okay if it displays the output of linting in that output panel I made for run script? The one you get with alt shift R or was it ctrl shift R

[lavrton]

It is ok. But of course it is better to highlight line with error.

[aponxi]

Do you know how to highlight ? Or do you mean select the line that has error? Do you want it to be displayed like the command pallet?

[lavrton]

Do you know how to highlight ?

Not yet. Best way - like in sublimelint plugin. Command pallet - good too.

I am creating this feature. Now works in this way: command - "CoffeeScript: Lint". Result:

sweet, I was going to get started on that too. Here paste this place holder on where coffeelint functions start in py. It helps locate things on the scrollbar.
