Hey, Thanks for the great tuto, I'm stuck with the config stuff !
Where to put this code ?

require("null-ls").setup({
sources = {
require("null-ls").builtins.diagnostics.vale,
},
})

Thank you !

Hey If you use a init.lua for your vim config then you can copy and paste it there (after the Plug Import)
Otherwise, if you use a init.vim or vimrc config, use the HERE doc as dictated in the tutorial.
Hope this helps

Hey did you create a .vale.ini file in your home directory, can you share the contents of that file?

[changcui]

@changcui Hey can you also check that the styles folder have rules downloaded for all the 5 sources? (If not please run the vale sync command to download them

When syncing, I'm seeing

$ vale sync
 SUCCESS  Downloaded package 'Google'
 SUCCESS  Downloaded package 'Readability'
 SUCCESS  Downloaded package 'alex'
 SUCCESS  Downloaded package 'proselint'
Downloading packages [4/5] █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████                  80% | 2sGet "IBM": unsupported protocol scheme ""

Using your .vale.ini code exactly. Any idea why that error throws?

Hey, thanks for reporting this, looks like vale doesn't support downloading IBM styles automatically (the repo seems to be unmaintained https://github.com/errata-ai/IBM). Although you can try to download them manually (copy the IBM directory from repo to the styles folder)

Nice! But rewrapping text with gq stopped working, probably because Vale diagnostic messages are displayed next to each line. Any ideas on how to get gq to work?
