Argument error on Windows about syntastic HOT 10 CLOSED

Found this same problem with jsl. I updated the code on line 71 as follows to fix the problem:

let makeprg = "jsl" . jslconf . " -nologo -nofilelisting -nosummary -nocontext -process ".expand('%:p')

I removed shellescape and changed % to %:p.

I believe this exact problem also occurs in the html.vim file too (and i find it odd that these problems have not been fixed yet as validating HTML simply does not work on windows atm)

from syntastic.

@M4T1A5 the reason these problems have not been fixed is because I currently dont have access to a windows box, and I want to get in and find out what is really going on. Removing the shellescape() call seems like it is fixing the symptom rather than the problem.

@mutewinter can you stick in an 'echo makeprg' and see what is actually getting set as the makeprg (without your custom mods)?

If this doesnt offer any clues then it could be an idea to set shellescape on windows and see if that works - if this turns out to be needed for windows then ill write a SyntasticShellEsc() function to set it on and off when doing the shellescape()

This problem seems to be gone on the latest version of Vim that I'm using. I'm currently using Wu Yongwei's pre-compiled gVim 7.3.333.

I'm also using the latest Syntastic, which may have fixed the issue as well.

Feel free to mark this as closed.

This problem seems to persist in the latest version for html.vim.
Thanks to the hints above, I fixed the issue by change " to ' and ' to " for win32 and win64

if has('win32') || has('win64')
    let makeprg='tidy '.encopt.' --new-blocklevel-tags "section, article, aside, hgroup, header, footer, nav, figure, figcaption" --new-inline-tags "video, audio, embed, mark, progress, meter, time, ruby, rt, rp, canvas, command, details, datalist" --new-empty-tags "wbr, keygen" -e '.shellescape(expand("%"))
else
    let makeprg="tidy ".encopt." --new-blocklevel-tags 'section, article, aside, hgroup, header, footer, nav, figure, figcaption' --new-inline-tags 'video, audio, embed, mark, progress, meter, time, ruby, rt, rp, canvas, command, details, datalist' --new-empty-tags 'wbr, keygen' -e ".shellescape(expand('%'))." 2>&1"
endif

Thanks for merging in my pull request with the cleaner solution. (BTW: It was my first pull request ever... so it feels good to have figured it out and get it accepted.) 469e4ef

This issue appears resolved for xhtml.vim (as @mutewinter mentioned above) and for html.vim (which was fixed in the commit mentioned above.)

@darcyparker no worries - you definitely made it easy for me to accept :)

If anyone has any further issues with this then just comment back here and ill reopen.

Having problems with this on Windows with latest build of Syntastic and a fairly recent GVim, specifically trying to process javascript with jshint. I debugged a bit and the resulting makeprg is jshint '<filename>', which command.exe doesn't parse. Ended up fixing by hardcoding double quotes, but obviously that's not a great solution.

from syntastic.

hmm, it is using vims built in shellescape() for the filename - which is why there are quotes around it.

According to :h shellescape() this should be using double quotes on windows.... Any idea why its not?

from syntastic.

Turns out I had shellslash set, which among other things causes shellescape to use single quotes for some reason. Turning it off solved the problem. Thanks for the speedy response, and apologies for the confusion.
