vim-flake8

==========

`vim-flake8` is a Vim plugin that runs the currently open file through Flake8,

a static syntax and style checker for Python source code.  It supersedes both

[vim-pyflakes](https://github.com/nvie/vim-pyflakes) and

[vim-pep8](https://github.com/nvie/vim-pep8).



[Flake8](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/flake8/) is a wrapper around PyFlakes

(static syntax checker), PEP8 (style checker) and Ned's MacCabe script

(complexity checker).



Installation

------------



Make sure you've installed the

[flake8](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/flake8/) package.



If you use vim >= 8, install this plugin with:

```

mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/flake8/start/

cd ~/.vim/pack/flake8/start/

git clone https://github.com/nvie/vim-flake8.git

```



Otherwise, install [vim-pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen)

if you're not using it already. Then, simply put the

contents of this repository in your `~/.vim/bundle` directory.



Usage

-----

1. Open a Python file

2. Press `` to run `flake8` on it



It shows the errors inside a quickfix window, which will allow your to quickly

jump to the error locations by simply pressing [Enter].



If any of `g:flake8_show_in_gutter` or `g:flake8_show_in_file` are set to `1`, call:



    call flake8#Flake8UnplaceMarkers()



To remove all markers. No default mapping is provided.



Customization

-------------

If you don't want to use the `` key for flake8-checking, simply remap it to

another key.  It autodetects whether it has been remapped and won't register

the `` key if so.  For example, to remap it to `` instead, use:



    autocmd FileType python map   :call flake8#Flake8()



Since the `autocmd` order is not specified in Vim, the previous

recommendation is sometimes not sufficient to "unmap" ``. In such a

case, being more explicit about it should help (see `:h no_mail_maps`):



    let g:no_flake8_maps = 1



For flake8 configuration options please consult the following page:



http://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/user/configuration.html



To customize the location of your flake8 binary, set `g:flake8_cmd`:



    let g:flake8_cmd="/opt/strangebin/flake8000"



To customize the location of quick fix window, set `g:flake8_quickfix_location`:



    let g:flake8_quickfix_location="topleft"



To customize the height of quick fix window, set `g:flake8_quickfix_height`:



    let g:flake8_quickfix_height=7



To customize whether the quickfix window opens, set `g:flake8_show_quickfix`:



    let g:flake8_show_quickfix=0  " don't show

    let g:flake8_show_quickfix=1  " show (default)



To customize whether the show signs in the gutter, set `g:flake8_show_in_gutter`:



    let g:flake8_show_in_gutter=0  " don't show (default)

    let g:flake8_show_in_gutter=1  " show



To customize whether the show marks in the file, set `g:flake8_show_in_file`:



    let g:flake8_show_in_file=0  " don't show (default)

    let g:flake8_show_in_file=1  " show



To customize the number of marks to show, set `g:flake8_max_markers`:



    let g:flake8_max_markers=500  " (default)



To customize the gutter markers, set any of `flake8_error_marker`, `flake8_warning_marker`,

`flake8_pyflake_marker`, `flake8_complexity_marker`, `flake8_naming_marker`. Setting one to

the empty string disables it. Ex.:



    let g:flake8_error_marker='EE'     " set error marker to 'EE'

    let g:flake8_warning_marker='WW'   " set warning marker to 'WW'

    let g:flake8_pyflake_marker=''     " disable PyFlakes warnings

    let g:flake8_complexity_marker=''  " disable McCabe complexity warnings

    let g:flake8_naming_marker=''      " disable naming warnings



To customize the colors used for markers, define the highlight groups, `Flake8_Error`,

`Flake8_Warning`, `Flake8_PyFlake`, `Flake8_Complexity`, `Flake8_Naming`:



    " to use colors defined in the colorscheme

    highlight link Flake8_Error      Error

    highlight link Flake8_Warning    WarningMsg

    highlight link Flake8_Complexity WarningMsg

    highlight link Flake8_Naming     WarningMsg

    highlight link Flake8_PyFlake    WarningMsg



To show the error message of the current line in the ruler, call `flake8#ShowError()`:



    " add binding to call the function

    nnoremap  :call flake8#Flake8ShowError()

    



Tips

----

A tip might be to run the Flake8 check every time you write a Python file, to

enable this, add the following line to your `.vimrc` file (thanks

[Godefroid](https://github.com/gotcha)!):



    autocmd BufWritePost *.py call flake8#Flake8()



This plugin goes well together with the following plugin:



- [PyUnit](https://github.com/nvie/vim-pyunit) (unit test helper under ``

  and ``)



Max line lengths

----------------



One particular customization a lot of people like to make is relaxing the

maximum line length default.  This is a config setting that should be set in

flake8 itself. (vim-flake8 "just" invokes it and deals with showing the output

in Vim's quickfix window.)



To do so, put the following into a `.flake8` file at the root of your project:



    [flake8]

    max-line-length = 120



History

-------

1.6: Deprecated configuring flake8 options through Vim settings.  Instead,

advise users to use a `.flake8` config file in the root of your project.



    - Decprecated options:

      - `g:flake8_builtins`

      - `g:flake8_ignore`

      - `g:flake8_max_line_length`

      - `g:flake8_max_complexity`



    - New options:

      - `g:flake8_quickfix_height`



1.5: Added markers and the option to don't show the quickfix window, also split

functions into a autoload file. Added:



    - Options:

      - `g:flake8_show_quickfix`

      - `g:flake8_show_in_gutter`

      - `g:flake8_show_in_file`

      - `g:flake8_max_markers`

      - `flake8_error_marker`

      - `flake8_warning_marker`

      - `flake8_pyflake_marker`

      - `flake8_complexity_marker`

      - `flake8_naming_marker`

    - Functions:

      - `flake8#Flake8UnplaceMarkers()`

      - `flake8#Flake8()`

    - Highlighting:

      - `Flake8_Error`

      - `Flake8_Warning`

      - `Flake8_Complexity`

      - `Flake8_PyFlake`



1.4: Suppress output to stdout.

    - `g:flake8_builtins="_,apply"`

    - `g:flake8_max_complexity=10`



1.2: Added the following options:



    - `g:flake8_cmd="/opt/strangebin/flake8000"`
