linter-erb

This package will lint your ERB files in Atom by running them through erb -x and sending the output to ruby -c for checking.

Installation

Ruby

Before using this package you will need to have Ruby installed and available from your $PATH.

Plugin installation

The Linter and package will be installed for you to provide an interface to this package. If you are using an alternative debugging interface that supports linter plugins simply disable Linter.

If you do not already have it installed, language-ruby will also be installed for you.

To install this package either search for it from within Atom's settings menu or run the following command.

apm install linter-erb

Settings

All of linter-erb's settings are available from within Atom's settings menu. If you prefer to manually edit the configuration file the following settings are available:

• erbExecutablePath: Defaults to erb, allowing the $PATH to resolve the correct location. If you need to override this specify the full path to erb.

• rubyExecutablePath: Defaults to ruby, allowing the $PATH to resolve the correct location. If you need to override this specify the full path to ruby.

• trimMode: Select the trim mode used by ERB when generating the code before sending off to Ruby for checking. Defaults to - for out-of-the-box compatibility with Rails. For a full description of what the options mean see the documentation.

  Note: Modes other than None may cause the error line numbers to not match the source line numbers.

Finding the full path

If you are unsure of the location on your system of a program there are utilities you can use to find the full path. For example to find the path to erb you would run one of the following:

• On a UNIX / OS X system simply run which erb in a terminal. You should get something similar to /usr/bin/erb.

• On Windows run where.exe erb in a prompt. You should get back something similar to C:\Ruby22\bin\erb.
