Syntastic: Syntastic overrides let g:syntastic_python_checker = 'flake8 --ignore=E501'

[stantonk]

No matter where I try to put:

let g:syntastic_python_checker = 'flake8 --ignore=E501'

Syntastic always overrides it to:

let g:syntastic_python_checker = flake8

What do I have to do to get it to obey mine? The only way I can get it to work is either entering it after I've already opened MacVim...

[constfun]

I believe you need to use:

let g:syntastic_python_checker_args='--ignore=E501'

See: https://github.com/datanoise/vimfiles/blob/master/bundle/syntastic/syntax_checkers/python.vim

[stantonk]

No that doesn't fix it :(

[constfun]

It does for me. I've been using it.

Maybe you forgot to ":source $MYVIMRC" after you made the change?

[stantonk]

I made the change and quit MacVim completely...still no dice :(

Here's my .gvimrc.after file:

Stantonk, I had the same behavior with standard vim.

In my case I had my g:syntastic_python_checker_args statement before the Pathogen infect line in my .vimrc. Basically I was setting the variable then it was getting overwritten when Pathogen actually loaded Syntastic.

Moving the lines after the Pathogen stuff fixed it for me.

[daniel-walker]

stanton, you might want to reduce the size too this,

let g:syntastic_python_checker_args='--ignore=E501'

it could be something not getting escaped properly, like the commas.

I'm having the same problem as stantonk -- no matter where I put the ignore line, syntastic is not picking it up.

[kluikens]

I think you may want to replace checker with the name of the subchecker being used (from the docs: syntastic_[filetype]_[subchecker]_args). So, you may want

let g:syntastic_python_flake8_args='--ignore=E501'

This is working for me in my .vimrc

let g:syntastic_python_flake8_post_args='--ignore=E501,E128,E225'

[noah]

fwiw, @kluikens' suggestion fixed it.

[kurojishi]

i staill have the same problem:

Bundle "scrooloose/syntastic"
 let g:syntastic_python_checkers = ['flake8']t
"need fix not working
let g:syntastic_python_flake8_args = '--ignore="E501,E302,E261,E262,E701,E241,E126,E127,E128,W801"'

will still signal errors (EE)

[lcd047]

Try leaving out the double quotes.

[kurojishi]

thanks seems to work now

[kurojishi]

no i was wrong there were real warning in the code this time so the style error were ignored

the problem persist with

let g:syntastic_python_flake8_post_args = '--ignore=E501,E302,E261,E262,E701,E241,E126,E127,E128,W801'

and

let g:syntastic_python_flake8_args = '--ignore=E501,E302,E261,E262,E701,E241,E126,E127,E128,W801'

[lcd047]

Please add let g:syntastic_debug = 1 to your vimrc, run the checker, and post the output of :messages.

[lcd047]

This looks correct. What happens if you run on the command line:

flake8 'crawler.py' --ignore=E501,E302,E261,E262,E701,E241,E126,E127,E128,W801

[kurojishi]

no output
if i remove the E501 from the list when running flake8 directly i got E501 Errors so it works as it should

[lcd047]

So basically the problem is in your exclusion list.

[kurojishi]

well the problem isn't with flake8 but still i have no idea what is wrong with my exclusion list since it works with flake

[lcd047]

Well, syntastic doesn't come up with error messages on its own, it just reads them from the external checkers and shows them to you in a window. Thus, no error message from flake8 means no error message in syntastic.

[kurojishi]

then the fact that i still got error message is a mistery of the universe?
sorry don't want to be rude but if the same list copied and pasted a a flake8 flag work as it should in plain flake but it won't with syntastic there is something wrong in the middle am i wrong?

[lcd047]

Sorry, you just lost me. Is there any error message that flake8 produces on the command line, but not when run (with the same flags) from inside syntastic? I'm not a mind reader, you know.

[kurojishi]

oh sorry, i was sure to have specified it
yes, syntastic still give me the error messages for these error code
while on flake the same string give me none of them

[lcd047]

At this point, the only somewhat rational explanations that come to mind are either a $PATH problem (that is, flake8 that gets run from Vim is not the same as the flake8 that gets run on the command line), or a bug in Vim (perhaps limiting the length of the command line it passes on).

[kurojishi]

i tried with

--ignore=E501

and it didn't change anything
and there is only one flake8 executable in my system so i don't think that's it
thanks for your help

[kurojishi]

mmm
i noticed now that the errors generated inside syntastic are from pep8 but it's disabled as a checker and uninstalled from my system

crawler.py|34 col 80 error| E501 line too long (97 > 79 characters) [pep8]

they appear even when i select pylint as my checker

nor is registered as a checker in syntastic:

Syntastic info for filetype: python
Available checkers: flake8 pyflakes pylint python
Currently active checker(s): pylint

[lcd047]

Please open the file you're checking, run :SyntasticInfo, and post the output.

Woohoo! I had this problem and couldn't fix it forever. @kluikens suggestion fixed it.

This = win:

let g:syntastic_python_flake8_args='--ignore=E501'

This = fail:

let g:syntastic_python_checker_args='--ignore=E501'

[lcd047]

@eupharis: When everything else fail, try reading the manual. It can save you a lot of time.

[eupharis]

Hmm. So crazy it might just work!

[neotrinity]

@kluikens suggestion fixed this issue !

[zilongshanren]

@kurojishi I have met the same problem as you . Have you solved it?

[lcd047]

@andyque: Please refrain from contributing to the above Charlie Foxtrot of bug reports. :) Open a new issue, and explain what you did, what you expected to happen, and what happened instead. Mention your OS, your version of syntastic, and your version of Vim. Attaching a small test file that can be used to reproduce the problem would be nice too.

[omsobliga]

let g:syntastic_python_flake8_args='--ignore=E501'

[aswin-raghavan]

The better solution is to create a file called flake8 in your home directory with the default args for all calls to flake8.
