Intermittent issues with eslint_d

[tribou]

I've been having some intermittent issues with eslint_d, and I had a couple questions.

• Does eslint_d resolve local project eslint-config modules automatically?

I didn't know if eslint_d needed to be supplemented with a config similar to mtscout6/syntastic-local-eslint.vim to ensure it always resolves the local project config modules.

• What's the best way to debug eslint_d?

I'm encountering intermittent issues where I have to run eslint_d restart in order to get eslint_d to work again with Syntastic. After enabling g:syntastic_debug and determining the eslint_d command being used, I found there were errors similar to this:

eslint_d -f compact src/config/env.js
Error: standard:
    Configuration for rule "no-labels" is invalid:
    Value "2,[object Object]" has more items than allowed.

The error is from the eslint-config-standard module, but it's associated with using eslint v1.x, so I'm not sure what to do with that. However, after running eslint_d restart in the project directory, the issue appears to resolve itself. Any ideas?

v2.8.0 (eslint_d v3.1.0)

Hm, I would guess that eslint_d loaded an older version - e.g. from your node_modules directory. If eslint was updated to a newer version afterwards, you need to restart eslint_d to discard the old instance and load the new version.

To your questions:

Does eslint_d resolve local project eslint-config modules automatically?

It leaves the config resolution to eslint. It should work just like eslint, otherwise there's a bug (see #21)

What's the best way to debug eslint_d?

Enabling g:syntastic_debug is a very good idea. Other than that, there is clearly some more advanced error handling needed in eslint_d. It does not forward any error output from the background process.

As it's not clear what the issue actually is, please update to latest eslint_d and report back if it's still not working as expected. I'm happy to reopen.
