(executable check - failure) syntaxerl

What went wrong

-include_lib("../migresia/include/tables.hrl").

Both syntax_erl and erlc linters are giving following error for above code src/grid_user.erl|3 error| can't find include lib "../migresia/include/tables.hrl"

I have tried syntastic and it doesnt give this error. Obviously, the code works.

Reproducing the bug

Steps for repeating the bug: Use -include_lib

[low-on-mana]

It seems erlc doesn't knows about the project structure. BTW, I am using erlang.mk We might have to do something similar to erlang_check_file.erl in vim-syntastic.

Yes, erlc does not know about projects. For include_libs, g:ale_erlang_erlc_options can come in handy. I use this variable to set include path options (-I), which worked fine for me so far. I usually fill this with an expanded wildcard. Would this work for your case?

[low-on-mana]

I will give it a try. But it would be better If we could have same work flow as syntastic.

[w0rp]

Could we include the directory the file is in as an include path automatically, or change directories to where the file is, in the background process?

Install syntaxerl and configure ALE to use it, per the bottom of the README here: https://github.com/ten0s/syntaxerl

This will pick up the config from rebar or erlang.mk and everything will just work 👍🏼
