SublimeLinter-contrib-dmd [1] is a plug-in for the Sublime Text 3 editor [2]. Unlike linters that are based on DScanner, it actually invokes dmd on the file that is being edited, as you edit. If dmd finds anything to complain about, an annotation is shown in the editor: warnings and deprecations in orange, errors in red. If SublimeLinter (a plug-in dependency) is configured to show tool tips, the error message pops up after a click on the annotation (see screen shots [1]). SublimeLinter offers shortcuts for jumping to errors and it is possible to postpone on-the-fly linting or lint only on request. The advantages of using dmd for linting are: 1. The parser is always up-to-date. 2. Full symbol resolution, including imports. 3. Mixins are expanded. 4. Templates are validated. 5. Deprecation warnings are included. 6. The "did you mean …" assistance appears right where it is most helpful. The plug-in is easily installed from within the editor, as described on the project page [1]. Dmd does not always get the column number exactly right, which can cause the annotation to be misplaced, but that is just a cosmetic deficiency. I have not tested this on larger code bases and only on Windows, but I expect it to work on all platforms supported by Sublime Text 3. Please let me know if you find any issues. The editor is not free, but it continues to work after your evaluation period has expired. On request I can add an option to configure the path to dmd, currently it expects to find dmd using the system path. Hope you like it, Bastiaan.

Currently, settings are read courtesy the parent plug-in SublimeLinter. It is written in Python and quite extensible and well documented [1] -- do you want to have a go at it?

"Fast" and "slow" are subjective measures, the question is: when is it too slow? I am interested to hear how this does for people with large code bases, but because dmd works in the background and you don't have to wait for it to get your code typed out, I suppose speed is not very important as long as it stays within a few seconds. Remember it is used for linting only, if it were used for code completion or go-to-definition it could be too slow.On Tuesday, 31 October 2017 at 13:47:26 UTC, Dmitry Olshansky wrote:Surprising.

Use Tools->SublimeLinter->Show All Errors to see if it is there. You can turn on debugging from the menu Tools->SublimeLinter->Debug Mode, and open the console (Ctrl+` or icon in lower left corner) to see the dmd output. Do you see the error messages you expect? The linter calls dmd on just the file that is in your view (in a temp directory). That is probably not how you compile your 30KLOCS project, maybe errors depend on that? Does dmd give the error message you expect when you call dmd on that particular file by hand? The linter uses these command line switches: -o- -w -wi -vcolumns. If there is a difference in what dmd produces and what is picked up by the linter, we should adjust the python regex [1]. Note that it should discard tracebacks like "called from here". I used [5] to help with that. If you want to hack on it yourself, you can remove the package SublimeLinter-contrib-dmd and clone [2] into C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages. Maybe dmd sends some of its output to stdout. Change [3] from util.STREAM_STDERR to util.STREAM_BOTH to make it read from both streams. Does it help setting the linter working directory [4]? Note that currently the regex relies on the substring "SublimeLinter3" being present in the path to the temp file, I am unsure whether that would still work then.

What I meant is that, with dub, you can add dependencies (e.g. some http library) and define D versions. So even tho it's only a single file, the invocation of dmd alone is not sufficient to understand the code completely. I guess it would be most useful if I created some test cases and documented them.There's also the --single feature of dub: https://code.dlang.org/advanced_usage Such files may not work correctly with this linter at this time I presume.I don't see why not?Haven't experimented with it yet so it's all just speculation so far. I'm quite interested in a dub linter. As far as I can tell from a first glance at your plugin code, it doesn't seem too complicated. I think I will investigate whether dub is suitable for this endeavor and implement that aspect of the plugin myself. If I have enough time in the coming days, of course. Will keep you posted!All in all they way this plugin works is a great idea!

We could add support for that, when a file starts with a dub shebang. The plugin does not detect versions from dub yet, but I am not sure it needs to. IIANM then the code inside version() blocks is required to be syntactically correct, and it could well be that dmd will bark at syntax errors inside version blocks even when they are not selected. Possibly some errors relating to symbol resolution and mixins may still go undetected though. If there are multiple versions, you would ultimately want to lint all available ones? This can become a bit hairy.Sorry, let me rephrase. What I meant is that, with dub, you can add dependencies (e.g. some http library) and define D versions. So even tho it's only a single file, the invocation of dmd alone is not sufficient to understand the code completely.There's also the --single feature of dub: https://code.dlang.org/advanced_usage Such files may not work correctly with this linter at this time I presume.I don't see why not?I guess it would be most useful if I created some test cases and documented them.Yes.You are right, and starting a new linter is easy as well, and well documented: http://sublimelinter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/creating_a_linter.htmlHaven't experimented with it yet so it's all just speculation so far. I'm quite interested in a dub linter. As far as I can tell from a first glance at your plugin code, it doesn't seem too complicated.All in all they way this plugin works is a great idea! The more it knows about the full commandline of the resulting dmd invocation, the more accurate it is.If you have a case where it isn't sufficient, I am interested to see how it can be improved. You can experiment with it as explained here: https://forum.dlang.org/post/zugbovfvfviapcjqdhxw forum.dlang.orgI think I will investigate whether dub is suitable for this endeavor and implement that aspect of the plugin myself. If I have enough time in the coming days, of course. Will keep you posted!Have fun, Bastiaan.
