Syntastic: Syntastic not showing Warnings/Errors

[zoecarver]

Issue

When I open a javascript or typescript file, I do not get any errors or warnings.

I have added checkers to my config file:

let g:syntastic_typescript_checkers = ['tslint']
let g:syntastic_javascript_checkers = ['eslint']

But, when I open a javascript/typescript file - none are enabled:

Available checkers: -
Currently enabled checkers: -

Please read the first entry in the FAQ.

@lcd047 Thank you, what is the best way to add the checks (from :help syntastic-checkers) to your PATH?

[zoecarver]

After adding them to my PATH - they now show up as enabled:

Available checkers: eslint tslint
Currently enabled checker: tslint

But, There is still no error/warning highlighting.

[lcd047]

Please read :h syntastic-recommended.

[zoecarver]

I have the recommend settings enabled - Sorry if that was unclear.

[lcd047]

Then please explain what did you do, what did you expect to happen, and what happened instead. Don't assume I can look over your shoulder to find out. :smile:

[zoecarver]

Sorry about that.
Here is my config file:

set statusline+=%#warningmsg#
set statusline+=%{SyntasticStatuslineFlag()}
set statusline+=%*
let g:syntastic_always_populate_loc_list = 1
let g:syntastic_auto_loc_list = 1
let g:syntastic_check_on_open = 1
let g:syntastic_check_on_wq = 0
let g:syntastic_javascript_checkers = ['eslint']
let g:syntastic_typescript_checkers = ['tslint']

(When in a JS file) Here is what I get from :SyntasticInfo

Syntastic version: 3.8.0-110 (Vim 800, Neovim, Darwin)
Info for filetype: javascript.jsx
Global mode: active
Filetype javascript.jsx is active
The current file will be checked automatically
Available checker: javascript/eslint
Currently enabled checker: javascript/eslint

Expected Behavior

It should highlight errors

Current Behavior

It does not highlight errors

@lcd047 Is that the information you wanted? If there is something I left out just let me know.

[lcd047]

Not really. Syntastic doesn't highlight errors "automatically". It runs the configured linters against your files either when you _save_ the current file, or when you run :SyntasticCheck, and _then_ highlight errors, provided said linters find any. All checks are run against the files on disk, not against Vim's buffers. And no checks are run on the fly.
