Stops working after upgrading flake8 from 2.5.5 to 2.6.0

linter-flake8 has stopped working after I upgraded flake8 from 2.5.5 to 2.6.0 using pip. I am not sure if this is a bug with linter-flake8 or flake8 though. If it is the latter, please let me know so that I can file a bug report with flake8 instead.

It looks like this has been fixed after the latest update to linter to 1.11.14. Please feel free to close this issue, thanks!

flake8 --version gives 2.6.0 (pycodestyle: 2.0.0, pyflakes: 1.2.3, mccabe: 0.5.0, flake8-docstrings: 0.2.7, pep257: 0.7.0, hacking.core: 0.0.1, ProxyChecker: 0.0.1) CPython 3.5.1+ on Linux.

Without commenting out the definition for b, flake8 foo.py gives:

foo.py:2:80: E501 line too long (88 > 79 characters)
foo.py:5:7: E901 SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Commenting out, flake8 foo.py gives:

foo.py:1:1: D100 Missing docstring in public module
foo.py:1:1: D103 Missing docstring in public function
foo.py:2:80: E501 line too long (88 > 79 characters)

I also did the same test with Python 2.7.11. In Atom, running the same code without commenting out the definition for b gives

Error E501 — line too long (88 > 79 characters) at line 2 col 80
Error E901 — SyntaxError: invalid syntax at line 5 col 7

while commenting it out gives

Error E501 — line too long (88 > 79 characters) at line 2 col 80
Warning D100 — Missing docstring in public module at line 1 col 1

It seems the D100 warning should also have appeared when the definition of b is not commented out but intriguingly, it only appears after the definition of b is commented out.
