Local workspace and linting issue

[rishabkaushik]

I have been struggling with two issues.

1. If I edit my linting config inside .vscode directory, the changes are not reflected until project is not closed and re-opened.

rpglint.json:

{
  "indent": 2,
  "PrototypeCheck": true,
  "NoOCCURS": true,
  "NoSELECTAll": true,
  "UppercaseConstants": true,
  "IncorrectVariableCase": false,
  "NoSQLJoins": true,
  "PrettyComments": true,
  "NoGlobalSubroutines": true,
  "NoExternalTo": [
    "QCMD",
    "QP2TERM",
    "QSH",
    "SYSTEM",
    "QCMDEXC"
  ]
}

Sample program:

**free
dcl-s var1 int(10);
Var1 = 100;
*inlr = *on;

I am not sure if it is working as designed but I expect the linter to refresh the linter errors if the config is changed.

2. Also, is there a feature to auto-fix a single type of linting error like IncorrectVariableCase

@rishabkaushik , there is an option to fix an individual linter issue. If you hover your mouse pointer over issue you'll get the context options appear and one of the options is called Quick Fix.... If you select that option it will then give you a menu that includes an option to fix that one issue.

The other option is to right click in the source editor and select the Format Document option. That will fix all of the linter issues or at least those that can be auto-fixed.

When working with local source the editor did pick up the linter changes for me immediately.

You should not have to close the workspace to pickup linter changes.
