Can't get .yml files to be checked by linter

[johnpetersjr]

I'm a bit lost here, please bear with me since I'm new to atom/package/lint installs...

This is working great for me for my files that end in .yaml, but I cannot get it trigger alerts on my files that end in .yml.

Can you help point me to what I need to do to make this work? I tried playing with file-types, etc, to no avail...

Thanks in advance for any help!

I tried adding this below as well to my config.cson:

  "linter-js-yaml":
    customTags: [
      "!yml"
      "!include"
      "!yaml"
      "!include"
      "!delta mapping"
      "!epsilon sequence"
    ]

Atom doesn't explicitly rely on file types, but rather the "scope" of a file, so my first guess is that you have something installed that is marking .yml files as something other than source.yml.

Since it sounds like you manually edited your configuration file it's possible you missed something about the syntax and it's not getting the proper value. I recommend people use the settings interface within Atom to edit their settings as it prevents the file from getting invalid syntax entered into it.

Are you using linter or atom-ide-ui? If you are using linter can you run the Linter: Debug command from the Command Palette and paste the output here?

Here is the output (I couldn't run linter: debug while I had a .yml file selected, only a .yaml file, if that helps?)

linter: debug while I had a .yml file selected

You should always be able to run that command on any TextEditor... do you have some package that is taking over editing of .yml files?

only a .yaml file, if that helps?

Since your issue is that you can't run it on .yml files, unfortunately not really 😉.

I do have a few things installed, I am very interested in incorporating some sort of syntax/format checking in my Atom for Ansible/Yaml files.

Here is my entire config.cson if that helps?

for anyone else with the same issue:
I had similar issues fixed it by uninstalling all linter-related packages and then reinstalling them.
After each package install I restarted atom, which triggered the install of other packages
Now the exceptions (e.g. !secret) are whitelisted, but the linter doesn't provide detailed error information
Progress but not there yet.
Oh yes... I'm on windows (sorry)
