"Can't open file" error on Windows 10

[crishushu]

Seems to be similar to #979:

Unfortunately the fix didn't worked out for me!

Btw the output in the screenshot is after having set 'let g:syntactic_debug = 1'

I have no clue what is the purpose of the "missing file". Either way, I cannot find that file on my hard drive.

What version of syntastic are you using?

The last one:

    Manual: document the proselint checker.

Well using the fix apparently this:

commit 4c2004d2e5f04d6a10a0331aab8070e9c9fb5b39
Author: LCD 47 <[email protected]>

    Bug fix: the result of expand('<sfile>:p:h') has to be escaped.

Plase leave it at the current master HEAD. Edit your vimrc, and set g:syntastic_check_on_open to 0. Then edit your test file, set g:syntastic_debug to 1, run :SyntasticInfo, and post the output.

[crishushu]

The output based on your instruction:

This is the intended output I wanted to post first. Had a typo in 'let g:syntactic_debug = 1' ...

[lcd047]

This:

shellslash = 1

means you have to use slashes when setting shell:

shell = 'C:\Users\c.schulz\OneDrive\Apps\PortableGit\usr\bin\bash'

[crishushu]

First had the impression the error went away, though

put this into .vimrc (before injection of bundles via bundles):

let &shell = expand('$PORT_WIN/Apps/PortableGit/usr/bin/bash')

[lcd047]

Please stop posting screenshots, thank you. They can't be referenced, and can't be indexed.

let &shell = expand('$PORT_WIN/Apps/PortableGit/usr/bin/bash')

According to your logs syntastic doesn't get to see that.

[crishushu]

Syntastic did see it, not sure if 'expand' did the slashes replacement. Anyway syntastic still complains, when I write out the path:

Good point!

put this into .vimrc (before injection of bundles via bundles):

let &shell = expand('$PORT_WIN/Apps/PortableGit/usr/bin/bash')

I meant "... via Pathogen"

What happens if you run

:echo system('pylint -f text --msg-template="{path}:{line}:{column}:{C}: [{symbol}] {msg}" -r n tmp/code/python/vim-as-a-python-ide/demo.py')

in the exact same context as above?

[lcd047]

Your system() is messed up. It seems to run fin the first four times, then in runs into the problem above. Finding out how and why that happens would be an interesting challenge, but it has nothing to do with syntastic. Syntastic needs a working system() to run. shrug

[crishushu]

I did the research #772, #814. The following pylint option (if called from inside vim) causes the error:

--msg-template="{path}:{line}:{column}:{C}: [{symbol}] {msg}"

Replacing the quotes in line 53 in pylint.vim did the trick:

        \       "-f text --msg-template='{path}:{line}:{column}:{C}: [{symbol}] {msg}' -r n" :

[lcd047]

This shouldn't change anything if your shell is bash. If it does make a difference then you aren't running bash.

[crishushu]

Well, it made the difference for me. However, in the end its a windows machine...

PC:~$ echo $SHELL
/usr/bin/bash

[lcd047]

Right: it makes a difference because of your shellxquote and shellxescape are left to the defaults. They both should be empty for bash. You should thank Vim for making it this easy to change your shell. 😉
