Haskell hlint : HLint.hs not taking into account

[PierreR]

I am trying to disable some hlint errors by using a HLint.hs file at the root of the project:

import "hint" HLint.HLint

ignore "Redundant lambda"

Unfortunately it does not work. I stil get a red point on:

let queryfunc = \node -> ....

On the command line if I use hlint it does work (it is telling me a suggestion has been ignored).

Is there a way to disable these hlint errors ?

At least it would be handy to use another color than red to show the hlint "errors" (the code compiles just fine after all).

@PierreR what does running hlint path/to/file returns? Does it say anything about lambda?

By the way, for me to disable hlints about lambda I need to put following into HLint.hs:

import "hint" HLint.HLint

ignore "Avoid lambda"
ignore "Redundant lambda"

@d12frosted As already described, hlint path/to/file is working fine (it is telling me a suggestion has been ignored).

Do you want me to test it again ? I haven't done so for a while so it might be fixed now.

@PierreR oh, right you already said that it's working when invoking from terminal. But yeah, could you please test again? Because I remember previously it didn't work for me in Emacs, but it's working.

Yep this is working now. Thanks.
