Ale: Location list won't auto close even if there's no error.

[Saul-Mirone]

Here's an error...

Then when i fix it...

HERE'S MY QUESTION: WHY THE LIST NOT CLOSE ?

However, If I type :w again, the list window disappear.

Here's my config

It is supposed to close in that circumstance. I probably broke it when I fixed the E925 bug.

bump :D

[w0rp]

I have fixed this now.

[w0rp]

I could explain how, but I'm lazy.

Facing a similar issue with Neovim :(
As a workaround using quickfix instead of loclist

let g:ale_set_loclist = 0
let g:ale_set_quickfix = 1

Will revert workaround once the issue is fixed, thank you :)

[w0rp]

Are you using the latest commit from master?

[pr4th4m]

Yap, its the latest code

Okay, I'll have a look when I get the time.

[w0rp]

I can't repeat this bug any more.

[sheharyarn]

Having the same issue, the list doesn't automatically close when there are no more errors. And @pratz's workaround doesn't work for me either.

@sheharyarn confirming the issue, same nvim 0.3.4

[w0rp]

If you have some steps for repeating the bug, open an issue, or try and fix it with a pull request.

[alex-popov-tech]

Tried this just yesterday, all seems to be fine... my current config:

Plug 'w0rp/ale'
  " linters list
  " run only specified linters for specified files
  let g:ale_linters_explicit = 1
  let g:ale_linters = {
    \ 'javascript': ['prettier', 'eslint']
    \ }
  let g:ale_lint_on_text_changed = 'always'
  " launch linter on save buffer
  let g:ale_lint_on_save = 1
  " launch linter on enter buffer
  let g:ale_lint_on_enter = 1
  " setup fixers to fix trailing lines and whitespaces
  let g:ale_fixers = {
    \ '*': ['remove_trailing_lines', 'trim_whitespace']
    \ }
  " auto apply fix on save buffer
  let g:ale_fix_on_save = 1
  " disable showing ale messages in airline status bar
  let g:airline#extensions#ale#enabled = 0
  " open list with errors on buffer save
  let g:ale_open_list = 'on_save'
  " set list with errors size
  let g:ale_list_window_size = 5
  " enable hightlights for errors
  let g:ale_set_highlights = 1

[alex-popov-tech]

I have no idea what was that, but maybe it was my mistake.
