Additional context

Why do you think hello_world should be a linting error? Are there other tools that signal it that Ionide isn't showing?

[inwenis]

Because it works from CLI

As per (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fsprojects/FSharpLint/refs/heads/master/src/FSharpLint.Core/fsharplint.json)[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fsprojects/FSharpLint/refs/heads/master/src/FSharpLint.Core/fsharplint.json]

    "publicValuesNames": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
            "underscores": "AllowPrefix"
        }
    },

hello_world should not contain underscores

Ah - it looks like we've disabled that feature due to API incompatibilities with FSharp.Core/FSharp.Compiler.Services. This is a problem we have with many components (including the Analyzer SDK!) so we'd need FSharpLint to update to the 9.0.200 versions before we could re-enable it.

[inwenis]

That explains it, thank you for answering!

[baronfel]

Thanks for raising this - I had actually forgotten! It's good for us to have tracking for the currently-disabled features/etc.

ionide/FsAutoComplete#942 (comment) is the last update on the subject

Unfortunately, fsharplint development seems to have stalled again before the PR to create a client for it was merged :-(

Maybe it's still possible to get some info into the UI by doing https://fsprojects.github.io/FSharpLint/how-tos/msbuild-task.html (I haven't tried it lately)
