It can not work with syntastic about locate.vim

[mtth]

I use syntastic and it works fine for me. Which settings are you using? Could you describe the bug a bit more?

When I use gl on a word, all the words in the file have been highlight , but the list window can't open. If I comment the syntastic plugin in .vimrc , then all works right.

My vim version is :

VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Apr 21 2014 14:54:22)
MacOS X (unix) version
Included patches: 1-258

My .vimrc file: http://git.oschina.net/zhuyajie/vimrc/raw/master/.vimrc

from locate.vim.

Hey, sorry for the long response delay. I see your .vimrc has different settings for GUI / terminal Vim, is this an issue in both?

Having the same issue ... also on MacOS (Yosemite).

The issue affects both gVim (MacVim) and terminal Vim.

Forgot to mention that removing Syntastic fixes the issue.

@morganprecision - Could you share your syntastic and locate settings?

[morganprecision]

These are the only settings I have:

if has("win32") || has("win64")
    let g:syntastic_error_symbol = '⮀'
else
    let g:syntastic_error_symbol = '✗'
endif
let g:syntastic_warning_symbol = '!'

" PHP code sniffer
if (filereadable("phpcs.xml"))
    let g:syntastic_php_phpcs_args='--standard=phpcs.xml'
endif

" Syntastic - aggregate errors
let g:syntastic_aggregate_errors = 1

from locate.vim.

Thanks! So after digging into it a bit, I believe the conflict comes from syntastic's g:syntastic_auto_loc_list option which hijacks the location list (in particular closing it automatically when there are no errors, conflicting with locate).

Could you try adding the following line to your .vimrc and let me know if it changes anything:

let g:syntastic_auto_loc_list = 0

[morganprecision]

That fixed it! Thanks so much!

Glad to hear :). Closing this since it'll be hard to find a clean for fix this on the locate side unfortunately. Hopefully disabling the above option will cover most use-cases.
