Doesn't work without one or multiple restarts

I know there have been timing issues which prevented SublimeLinter from running with correct environment variables and paths every now and then. I thought this was fixed for good with a recent Sublime Text update and a new API callback. But for a few weeks I have the following problem:

Most times linting doesn’t work for me without restarts. I get (erred) in the status bar at the bottom for rubocop and reek. Usually I restart Sublime once or twice and it works the way one would expect.

Since this happens for both rubocop and reek the issue doesn’t seem to be linter specific.

Here are 2 logs, the first one shows the error occuring, the other one shows how everything works after a restart of Sublime.

System information:

• Sublime Text 3.1.1 Build 3176
• SublimeLinter v4.7.2

I’m happy to assist if you need more information.

Thx for your response. I thought I read a comment from Sublime’s creator adding some callback and everyone wildly celebrating that and referencing the corresponding issue. Dream or memory? 🤔 Never mind.

You’re correct, I’m using rvm. The current situation sucks but at least we have a fix, so thank you.

I don’t know if this is expected but:

1. I had to make sure GEM_PATH was set correctly.
2. The executable needs to be rvm-auto-ruby, no matter what linter. So my config looks like this right now (exactly the same for all linters):

{
  "linters": {
      "hamllint": {
        "env": {"GEM_PATH":"/Users/Enno/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1"},
        "executable": "/Users/Enno/.rvm/bin/rvm-auto-ruby"
      },
      "rubocop": {
        "env": {"GEM_PATH":"/Users/Enno/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1"},
        "executable": "/Users/Enno/.rvm/bin/rvm-auto-ruby"
      },
      "reek": {
        "env": {"GEM_PATH":"/Users/Enno/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1"},
        "executable": "/Users/Enno/.rvm/bin/rvm-auto-ruby"
      }
  }
}

Is that the way it’s intended? Or did I stumble upon another wird behavior?

This seems to work on every start now:

"env": {
  "GEM_PATH": "/Users/Enno/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1:/Users/Enno/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1@global",
  "PATH": "/Users/Enno/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1/bin:/Users/Enno/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1@global/bin:/Users/Enno/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.3.1/bin:/Users/Enno/.rvm/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"
},
"executable": "/Users/Enno/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.3.1/bin/ruby"
