Recommend a linter for erlang? about erlang HOT 7 CLOSED

Not relevant.

from erlang.

Not sure if this would apply, but a new tool has been created:
https://github.com/inaka/elvis

It is still early days, but it allows you to define certain aspects of coding style and then check for adherence to that style.

from erlang.

If the tool doesn't have a reasonably wide adoption, I don't think that recommending it would necessarily helpful. I'd rather people discuss style on a one-off basis within the conversations about exercises in that case.

We can leave this open for a bit to see if others have any thoughts, suggestions, or counter-arguments.

I did only find a small handfull of projects which seems to use elvis, one of them has been from the elvis creator himself, as well as elvis is beeing elvis-checked ;)

Also there seem to be 2 community styleguides available:

• https://github.com/nuex/erlang-style-guide
• https://github.com/inaka/erlang_guidelines

I did neither "diff" them right now, nor did I do a search for implementation examples of them, as well as I did not look out for software enforcing them (while knowing that inaka is the maintainer of elvis)

I will close this as discussion staled.

Also as I read a lot of erlang code these days, I realized that there is not much consense of a styleguide, so one has to adhere a different style in each project one participates.
