For some reason hlint plugin is not available for the ghc-9.2.2 for me, I have hlint 3.4 installed.

@hellwolf @pwm Thank you for your report.

HLS shipped with hlint internally and not rely on user installed hlint.

hls-1.7 doesn't support hlint plugin on ghc-9.0 and ghc-9.2. If you are eager to be equipped with hlint, please consider installing hls from the source code by reference https://haskell-language-server.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#ghcup and #2985.

[hellwolf]

@July541 oh, thanks for the insights. But somehow hlint would give more linting error than the internal hlint for some reason? My ".hlint.yaml" is fairly empty.

Not sure about that, but hls will ignore all hint with Ignore severity, please feel free to raise an issue if you found something unnormal :)

How are we doing with GHC-9.2.4? ;-)

And I'd like to ask about

• plans to progress from "limited" to "full" support for GHC-9.2.x?
• plans to support GHC-9.4.x, which will probably hit release in not-too-distant future (while it's in Alpha, it's probably not that important)?
