Integration with gometalinter

[noonien]

Are there any plans to integrate with gometalinter?

[fatih]

Thanks for bringing it up. I don't think to integrate it right now. Let's wait until it get's some momentum. Also each linter has his own format and for some of them it requires special formatting rules. I don't want to add them right now.

Also each linter has his own format and for some of them it requires special formatting rules.

That is actually the very problem that gometalinter solves. It runs errcheck, structcheck, vet, deadcode, golint, gotype, defercheck, varcheck, gocyclo, and go-nyet and normalises their output to a single format:

<file>:<line>:[<col>]: <message> (<linter>)

[noonien]

Has this been given any further consideration? As @alecthomas suggested, since I've created this issue, gometalinter has standardized its output format, and is similar to output given from gofmt.

Having the ability to run all linters on save would be a great benefit to any project.

Please reconsider. Thank you!

I'll reopen and add label it as feature. Will tackle it later or soon :)

@fatih Thanks for the follow-up!

+1 this feature request. I was going to open an issue asking for integrating go-vet and go-lint on save (similar to what go-plus does for Atom), but this sounds like it would be even better in the long run.
