This simple package provides static code linting of Julia julia-mode language
buffers through the StaticLint.jl backend. The static linting is done by a
background process, which sends errors over a TCP connection to Flycheck for
display in the Emacs buffer. The result looks like this:
This code was tested with the following setup:
- OS: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
- Emacs: 27.1.9
- Julia: 1.5.3
- StaticLint: v7.0.0
- SymbolServer: v6.0.1
In order to make this code run for your Emacs setup, include the following in
your init.el (using use-package and quelpa):
(use-package julia-staticlint
;; https://github.com/dmalyuta/julia-staticlint
;; Emacs Flycheck support for StaticLint.jl
:ensure nil
:quelpa ((julia-staticlint :fetcher github
:repo "dmalyuta/julia-staticlint"
:files (:defaults "julia_staticlint_server.jl"
"julia_staticlint_client.jl")))
:hook ((julia-mode . julia-staticlint-activate))
:config
(julia-staticlint-init))Because this code uses a Julia backend, make sure that you can open a Julia
REPL using the command julia in your terminal. You should also have the
following packages installed in Julia: StaticLint, SymbolServer, Printf,
and Sockets. Install by entering the following sequence into the Julia REPL:
julia> using Pkg
julia> Pkg.add(["SymbolServer","StaticLint","Printf","Sockets"])
