flake8 finds no issues

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I experienced this error using atom and flake8 with OS El Capitan.

Error: spawn flake8 ENOENT
    at exports._errnoException (util.js:1026:11)
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:193:32)
    at onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:359:16)
    at _combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:74:11)
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:98:9)

I reinstalled atom and flake8 and add the executable path (/Applications/anaconda/bin/flake8) in flake8 settings. Now I do not see any error but flake8 does not find any issue in my code (not working).

Thanks for your help!

Romain

FYI: Got it working by following the suggestion here (I’m not using Ruby though).

Ran which flake8 and pasted the output in the field ‘Executable Path’ under the linter package’s ‘Settings’ in Atom.

Actually, I read the docs now and it seems I anyways needed to install flake8 along with linter-flake8 (sorry, I didnt realise that it was a pre-req and not the same thing). So I just did:

pip install flake8

But I still get the following error:

Error: spawn flake8 ENOENT
    at exports._errnoException (util.js:1026:11)
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:193:32)

    at _combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:74:11)
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:98:9)

Facing the same issue with pylint also (https://github.com/AtomLinter/linter-pylint/issues/195#issuecomment-279296987)
