linter-verilog's Issues

Linter message from non-active file causes crash

Let's say I have a directory with several files files in it and my linter lints everything in the directory that's referred to (directly or indirectly from the file I have open (part1.sv).

my_project/audio_and_video_config.v (more than 175 lines)
my_project/part1.sv (172 lines)

If I lint part1.sv, the linter may return a warning from the audio_and_video_config.v file.

%Warning-PINCONNECTEMPTY: my_project/audio_and_video_config.v:175: Cell pin connected by name with empty reference: rising_edge

linter-verilog (an Atom package that makes use of linter) pushes a message with filePath set to my_project/audio_and_video_config.v and range corresponding to the offending line (175).

This message causes the linter to crash since part1.sv, the active file has less than 175 lines

"[Linter] Error running Verilog Error: Line number (174) greater than maximum line (171)
at Object.rangeFromLineNumber"

Add verible as a linter tool (feature request)

You might want to checkout Verible. It provides a linter which works with SystemVerilog files (as well as basic Verilog).

Linter showing error always at line 1 and col 1

Linter shows the error always in col 1 and lin 1, in a file G (sometimes C) that does not even exist. When I click on the error, it creates the file ( an empty file G with nothing in it). The same linter works fine for Ubuntu, but not on Windows on three different computers. I have also noticed that it shows the error on the project tab, and not on the file tab.

Checking presence of modules in other files in the directory

When I have a module from a one file being instantiated in other file, the linter shows "Unknown module type: " error. Any leads on how to fix this would be highly appreciated!

Linter not working

1.35.1
Running on Arch Linux
I will add more info later

Linter not noticing changes

Hi, I've installed the verilog linter using the package market directly from atom and had iverilog installed directly from the website. I'm not seeing any warnings/errors pop up when I edit my .vl file. Does this package rely on anything else besides the base linter?

Unable to distinguish detailed error using iverilog

Hi @manucorporat , The linter-verilog on my Mac could only distinguish "syntax error" without indicating what it is that cause the error as your screenshot on the setting page of linter-verilog.
I could not find anything such as your verilog - plus. How did you make it?

I'm currently use OSX 10.12 and install it from brew. Thanks a lot.

Config option for setting the path where iverilog can be found would be handy

As not everybody has every package in their system installed on their search path, having an option to specify an explicit path for the iverilog executable would be useful.

Add verilator as linter-tool (feature request)

Hi there and thx for your plugin,

Is it possible to add verilator as a replacement for icarus?
Verilator is a verilog to C++ converter that includes a linter mode.
It is in active development and has very good support for modern verilog/systemverilog syntax.

The idea is to replace icarus by "verilator --lint-only"
The Error/warning format returned by the linter a little different.

The linter is already used with the syntastic vim plugin (https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic).

Verilator is a standard package in major Linux distributions and I think through brew for osx. Its source is available on line (http://www.veripool.org/projects/verilator/wiki/Installing).

Regards

How to use it

First Thank you for developing this package.

I installed it with builtin package market, but it cannot work(icarus verilog installed and added to PATH). The error message is as follows.

My OS is Windows 10. The Atom version is the latest.
What should I do to enable the package? Thank you.

linter not using the system iverilog

Hello,

I am following https://tinyfpga.com/bx/guide.html and I am getting [Linter] Error running Verilog.

Developer console shows

 /home/why/.atom/pack…ter-registry.js:159 [Linter] Error running Verilog Error: spawn /home/why/.apio/packages/toolchain-iverilog/bin/iverilog ENOENT
    at _errnoException (util.js:1024:11)

    at _combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:138:11)
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:180:9)

e.g. /home/why/.apio/packages/toolchain-iverilog/bin/iverilog does not exist
I do have iverilog installed under ubuntu
