[ESS] brace_linter

[Ramon Diaz-Uriarte]

Dear Mark,

Out of the box ("emacs -Q" and then "M-x package-initialize") I think there is no linting. At least for me, linting happens when I enable flycheck or flymake, so maybe flycheck or flymake are being enabled in your emacs-init.el file for all prog-modes? You can check this by

C-h v flymake-mode
C-h v flycheck-mode

in your R code buffer, to see which one of the above minor modes is active.

If you (or your config) enable flycheck or flymake in an R buffer, then the variables `flycheck-lintr-linters` (for flycheck)  and `ess-r-flymake-linters` (for flymake) control what linters are used. You could set whichever is relevant to your liking; for example, this keeps many linters quiet for me:

    (setq flycheck-lintr-linters
	  "with_defaults(object_name_linter = NULL, camel_case_linter = NULL, snake_case_linter = NULL, indentation_linter = NULL)")

But the most expedite procedure, if you do not need flycheck or flymake, could be to disable flycheck/flymake in ess-r-mode buffers. For example

(add-hook 'ess-r-mode-hook (lambda() (flycheck-mode -1)))

or

(add-hook 'ess-r-mode-hook (lambda() (flymake-mode -1)))

Note: I am assuming you are not using LSP; with LSP (at least with lsp-mode), things are slightly different. (And I do not use flymake, so the mentions to flymake above are guesses from analogy with flycheck).

Best,

R.
