Description
First, thanks for this great tool. I recently started using it together with NeoVim and it works splendid!
As documented, the config file is on macOS looked for in $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Luacheck
and not in the XDG path $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/luacheck
.
macOS is also a modern Unix-like/based system and it would make sense to look for the config file in the XDG Path if not found in the Library path. I manage my config files in a dotfiles repo and have everything in ~/.config
that supports this. I think many developers in macOS also utilize the XDG paths.
In my case this meant that in the NeoVim plugin ALE I had to configure luacheck with extra options:
vim.g.ale_lua_luacheck_options = "--config $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/luacheck/.luacheckr"
This should not be needed.
The code that would need update is here:
luacheck/src/luacheck/config.lua
Lines 32 to 38 in fcbdeac
If not finding a config in the Library path, the same logic that is currently in the else
clause should be done in the Darwin case
