ALE Go Integration                                             *ale-go-options*


===============================================================================
Integration Information

The `gometalinter` linter is disabled by default. ALE enables `gofmt`,
`golint` and `go vet` by default. It also supports `staticcheck`, `go
build`,  `gosimple`, and `golangserver`.

To enable `gometalinter`, update |g:ale_linters| as appropriate:
>
  " Enable all of the linters you want for Go.
  let g:ale_linters = {'go': ['gometalinter', 'gofmt']}
<
A possible configuration is to enable `gometalinter` and `gofmt` but paired
with the `--fast` option, set by |g:ale_go_gometalinter_options|. This gets you
the benefit of running a number of linters, more than ALE would by default,
while ensuring it doesn't run any linters known to be slow or resource
intensive.

g:ale_go_go_executable                                    *g:ale_go_go_options*
                                                          *b:ale_go_go_options*

  Type: |String|
  Default: `'go'`

  The executable that will be run for the `gobuild` and `govet` linters, and
  the `gomod` fixer.


===============================================================================
gobuild                                                        *ale-go-gobuild*

g:ale_go_gobuild_options                             *g:ale_go_gobuild_options*
                                                     *b:ale_go_gobuild_options*
  Type: |String|
  Default: `''`

  This variable can be set to pass additional options to the gobuild linter.
  They are injected directly after "go test".


===============================================================================
gofmt                                                            *ale-go-gofmt*

g:ale_go_gofmt_options                                 *g:ale_go_gofmt_options*
                                                       *b:ale_go_gofmt_options*
  Type: |String|
  Default: `''`

  This variable can be set to pass additional options to the gofmt fixer.


===============================================================================
govet                                                            *ale-go-govet*

g:ale_go_govet_options                                 *g:ale_go_govet_options*
                                                       *b:ale_go_govet_options*
  Type: |String|
  Default: `''`

  This variable can be set to pass additional options to the go vet linter.


===============================================================================
gometalinter                                              *ale-go-gometalinter*

`gometalinter` is a `lint_file` linter, which only lints files that are
written to disk. This differs from the default behavior of linting the buffer.
See: |ale-lint-file|

g:ale_go_gometalinter_executable             *g:ale_go_gometalinter_executable*
                                             *b:ale_go_gometalinter_executable*
  Type: |String|
  Default: `'gometalinter'`

  The executable that will be run for gometalinter.


g:ale_go_gometalinter_options                   *g:ale_go_gometalinter_options*
                                                *b:ale_go_gometalinter_options*
  Type: |String|
  Default: `''`

  This variable can be changed to alter the command-line arguments to the
  gometalinter invocation.

  Since `gometalinter` runs a number of linters that can consume a lot of
  resources it's recommended to set this option to a value of `--fast` if you
  use `gometalinter` as one of the linters in |g:ale_linters|. This disables a
  number of linters known to be slow or consume a lot of resources.


g:ale_go_gometalinter_lint_package         *g:ale_go_gometalinter_lint_package*
                                           *b:ale_go_gometalinter_lint_package*
  Type: |Number|
  Default: `0`

  When set to `1`, the whole Go package will be checked instead of only the
  current file.


===============================================================================
staticcheck                                                *ale-go-staticcheck*

g:ale_go_staticcheck_options                     *g:ale_go_staticcheck_options*
                                                 *b:ale_go_staticcheck_options*
  Type: |String|
  Default: `''`

  This variable can be set to pass additional options to the staticcheck
  linter.


g:ale_go_staticcheck_lint_package           *g:ale_go_staticcheck_lint_package*
                                            *b:ale_go_staticcheck_lint_package*
  Type: |Number|
  Default: `0`

  When set to `1`, the whole Go package will be checked instead of only the
  current file.


===============================================================================
golangserver                                              *ale-go-golangserver*

g:ale_go_langserver_executable                 *g:ale_go_langserver_executable*
                                               *b:ale_go_langserver_executable*
  Type: |String|
  Default: `'go-langserver'`

  Location of the go-langserver binary file.

                                                  *b:ale_go_langserver_options*
  Type: |String|
  Default: `''`

  Additional options passed to the go-langserver command. Note that the
  `-gocodecompletion` option is ignored because it is handled automatically
  by the |g:ale_completion_enabled| variable.


===============================================================================
golangci-lint                                            *ale-go-golangci-lint*

`golangci-lint` is a `lint_file` linter, which only lints files that are
written to disk. This differs from the default behavior of linting the buffer.
See: |ale-lint-file|

g:ale_go_golangci_lint_executable           *g:ale_go_golangci_lint_executable*
                                            *b:ale_go_golangci_lint_executable*
  Type: |String|
  Default: `'golangci-lint'`

  The executable that will be run for golangci-lint.


g:ale_go_golangci_lint_options                 *g:ale_go_golangci_lint_options*

  Default: `'--enable-all'`

  This variable can be changed to alter the command-line arguments to the
  golangci-lint invocation.


g:ale_go_golangci_lint_package                 *g:ale_go_golangci_lint_package*
                                               *b:ale_go_golangci_lint_package*
  Type: |Number|
  Default: `0`

  When set to `1`, the whole Go package will be checked instead of only the
  current file.
