I am trying to get makeprg and errorformat working with VIM and jslint, and can't seem to get the error format right for the life of me... I am using the nodejs version of jslint which produces results like:
1 116,9: The body of a for in should be wrapped in an if statement to filter unwanted properties from the prototype.
for (var k in o)
I basically want to match the line number, and column and the error and use the current file for the filename. Anyone know how to do this?
To be clear, I am looking for the errorformat to get this command working. Currently my .vimrc file has
augroup js
set makeprg=jslint\ %
set errorformat=%E%>%l,%c:%m,%Z
augroup END
which just isn't working (the jslint works fine, but the errorformat is wrong)...
I actually just stuck JSLint into my makeprg earlier today, and naturally I needed some quickfix support.
I created a branch of node-jslint which outputs JSLint's errors in a GCC-like format. The efm is: %f:%l:%c:%m. If you can use node.js, I recommend using node-jslint (especially if you're working on a node.js/CommonJS project).
As for your original problem: I don't think %> is necessary. If removing that doesn't help, try simply the following:
set efm=%l,%c: %m
