R.nvim linting support

[ssh352]

with Nvim-r plugin I used https://github.com/neoclide/coc-r-lsp for lint errors:

r.lsp.diagnostics: Enable linting of R code, using the lintr package. Defaults to true. To disable this, you must have at least version 0.2.7 of the R Language Server installed.

Now I almost migrated to LazyVim and R.nvim. Does R.nvim supports linting diagnostics through lintr package? Thanks!

No, it doesn't. I don't know about other R.nvim developers, but I don't plan to implement linting diagnostics because it's a feature already available through the languageserver.

do I still have to use https://github.com/neoclide/coc-r-lsp for linting? Do you have suggestion what to use? I thought after moving to R.nvim from nvim-R I can get rid of coc.

[jalvesaq]

You can try nvim-lspconfig. The internet has many examples of how to use it.

I posted my complete Neovim setup some time ago on R-nvim/cmp-r#5 (comment) including ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/lsp.lua.

verified, it works! Actually on the fly linting works even without R.nvim. Didn't know that. Thanks!

Better to use lintr directly.

Yes I use both on the fly linting and lintr::lint_package() for final lint check.
