Question: how to specify an explicit list of linters?

[fatih]

I couldn't find it on the help page, please feel free to close if this is a duplicate. Basically I'm searching for an option to explicitly define linters. So gometalinters should only invoke certain linters. These should be passed via a flag option. Is it possible? An example usage I would like to have (if possible):

gometalinter --enabled-linters="govet,golint" ./...

There is an option called --linter but it only allows to specify a single linter. The option --enable just enables previously disabled linters. I would want probably something which doesn't rely on any kind of config, and if there is any need of config I should pass them via a flag.

Btw, I need this so I can integrate this into vim-go. Currently gometalinter calls all possible linters and because vim-go is blocking by default it's just to slow. I want to have a predefined set of linters which I'm going to add it and a way to pass linters as a configuration to vim.

Hi there. You want:

gometalinter --disable-all -E<linter> -E<linter> ...

Feel free to reopen if this doesn't answer your question completely.

Thanks @alecthomas. I've started and successfully integrated it into vim-go. I'm still working on it. I'll let you know when I'm finished and we can update the Readme. fatih/vim-go#553
