linter not reporting errors

[bobdoah]

I've added the following to my vimrc:

" (Optional)Remove Info(Preview) window
set completeopt-=preview

" (Optional)Hide Info(Preview) window after completions
autocmd CursorMovedI * if pumvisible() == 0|pclose|endif
autocmd InsertLeave * if pumvisible() == 0|pclose|endif

" (Optional) Enable terraform plan to be include in filter
let g:syntastic_terraform_tffilter_plan = 0

" (Optional) Default: 0, enable(1)/disable(0) plugin's keymapping
let g:terraform_completion_keys = 1

" (Optional) Default: 1, enable(1)/disable(0) terraform module registry completion
let g:terraform_registry_module_completion = 0

with this broken terraform script:

provider "aws" {

}

resource "aws_ami_copy" {
  description = "aa"
  depends_on

}

with let g:syntastic_debug=3, I get the following when executing :w:

I can't figure out whats going wrong. Syntastic reports python errors fine.

[dkvasnicka]

Same here. Neither terraform validate nor tflint show any errors in the loclist. Debugging Syntastic on my machine also shows that it executes the checkers and is aware of the errors.
Other languages are also working correctly, so it's not an issue with Syntastic itself.

[grodzik]

Probalby the output of terraform validate changed and errorformat variable is no longer valid. I have working terraform_validate version under this commit. I can make a PR with it, if this will be sufficient.

Sorry for the delay, I'm still having issues with that:

Same issue here. The patch by @grodzik works for me. 👍
