Godot addon: Line numbers disappear after linting finds results

[jonathan-robertson]

Details

• Given a script file with linting violations (MAX-LINE-LENGTH in my case)
• When linting completes (via Format script menu, Command Palette, or on-save)
• Then line numbers in the left gutter of the script file disappear

Note

before linting

after linting

More Context

• GDQuest/GDScript-formatter is the only plugin I have installed in this project.
• installed under res://addons/GDQuest_GDScript_formatter
• version installed: 0.14.0 (according to AssetLib posting)
  • I believe I'm using the latest available edition of GDScript-formatter since I installed this plugin just today
    • 
  • Actual plugin version reported in the Project Settings entry still shows 0.1.0 due to plugin.cfg reflecting that text
• also, adjustments to linting settings I make, such as Lint Line Length and Lint Ignored Rules seem to be ignored, but checking the box Lint On Save does work
  • I'm not sure if that helps to provide more context on whether I have a bad version/install or not

Steps to reproduce

1. start with a gdscript file which has some long lines in it (or presumably.. any linter error but I haven't tested others)
   • 
2. run Lint GDSCript from the Command Palette (or just save the file if you have linting triggered on save)
   • 
3. cry just a little as your beautiful line numbers vanish
   • 

Temporary Workaround

Simply close and reopen your script file.

Unfortunately, switching script 'tabs' is not enough to resolve this issue.

Thank you for the very detailed issue report. Godot does not support script editor plugins so what this plugin does actually hacks the editor and the add-on has to rebuild the state of the editor. There are probably settings that it is currently missing.

Also seeing this in formatter v0.18.1 for Windows. I didn't see Jonathan mention this, so maybe this can provide more helpful context.

I linted a script that produced 14 found issues. I saw these 2 error messages per issue:

I also see that the issue list in the console output says "$issue_name on line 0 ($real_line_num) for every issue.

This is on Godot 4.5-stable for Windows.
