Using Hlint with intero on emacs


I can't get hlint suggestions to appear in emacs using intero.

I've read that the solution is:

(flycheck-add-next-checker 'intero
                           '(warning . haskell-hlint))

But I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this. If I add it to my ~/.emacs file then emacs fails on start up.

(The rest seems OK - intero starts when I open a Haskell file - errors are immediately flagged as I type.)

How do I get Hlint suggestions to appear?


Solution

  • Fixed by adding this to my ~/.emacs file:

    ;; do linting on-the-fly 
    (with-eval-after-load 'intero
      (flycheck-add-next-checker 'intero '(warning . haskell-hlint))
    )
    

    (The full ~/.emacs file can be viewed here)
