coffeelint.json being ignored with symlinked files about linter-coffeelint HOT 4 CLOSED

there are numerous issues where the coffeelint.json isn't recognized.

Where exactly are these numerous issues?

Try running the coffeelint from the command line. This will verify whether the bug is coffeelint or linter-coffeelint. Also coffeelint will warn when there is a syntax error in the config file, but currently linter-coffeelint doesn't.

I verified that linter-coffeelint does work when coffeelint.json is a symlink.

I'm Sorry, my initial post sounded harsh.
I meant that multiple users had problems with the coffeelint.json, but they're solved by now.

I followed your advise and tried it on the command line.
coffeelint doesn't throw an error, so it seems like there's a problem with the plugin.
This must be connected to the fact that i use symlinks.

I was trying to symlink coffeelint.json, but I see from your screenshot that you're linking your code into a project instead.

If you open up the console in atom and run atom.workspace.getActiveTextEditor().getPath() you'll see it doesn't involve your symlink. It's the actual path to the file. Since that's the path we have, that is what linter-coffeelint is going to search to find a configuration file.

Sorry, I think if you want to see a fix for this you'll need to get Atom to provide the symlinked path.
