Vimlint is a lint checker for VimL written in pure VimL, based on Yukihiro Nakadaira's vimlparser. See the project's page for details.

To install it you have to install both vimlint and vimlparser.

Checker Options

The errors reported by Vimlint are configurable by setting the variable g:syntastic_vimlint_options to a dictionary of error codes and level values, with the same syntax as Vimlint's g:vimlint#config. See :help g:vimlint#config and :help vimlint-errorcode for more details.

For example, to ignore unused argument warnings:

let g:syntastic_vimlint_options = { 'EVL103': 1 }

Please note however that certain error messages can't be turned off this way. This is a misfeature of Vimlint, rather than a limitation of syntastic. You can still ignore these messages using the standard mechanism of g:syntastic_vim_vimlint_quiet_messages:

let g:syntastic_vim_vimlint_quiet_messages = { 'regex': '\v\[EVL%(105|205)\]' }

At the time of this writing the messages that can't be turned off from g:syntastic_vimlint_options are:

• EVL105 - global variable defined without g:
• EVL202 - missing call
• EVL203 - parse error in command
• EVL205 - missing scriptencoding
• EVL901 - unknown type
• EVL902 - assert error

Note

Vimlint does not call the makeprgBuild() function, and thus ignores the usual g:syntastic_vim_vimlint_<option> variables.
