flycheck-grammarly doesn't work with AUCTeX.

[hongyi-zhao]

On Ubuntu 20.04, I'm using the latest git master version of Emacs, and installed the flycheck-grammarly as follows:

(use-package flycheck-grammarly)

But I can't see the effect represented here, as shown by the following screenshot:

Any hints for this problem?

Thanks for reporting the issue to us!

The support major modes is defined here. You can either customize the variable flycheck-grammarly-active-modes or to run flycheck-grammarly in the valid file type. (.txt, .md, etc)

flycheck-grammarly/flycheck-grammarly.el

Lines 48 to 52 in abab9e6

	(defcustom flycheck-grammarly-active-modes
	'(text-mode latex-mode org-mode markdown-mode)
	"List of major mode that work with Grammarly."
	:type 'list
	:group 'flycheck-grammarly)

Make sure you have (require 'flycheck-grammarly) inside your configuration since use-package doesn't load it for you!

The support major modes is defined here.

I'm using AUCTeX, whose major mode, i.e., latex-mode is among the predefined supported major modes by flycheck-grammarly, as shown below:

Make sure you have (require 'flycheck-grammarly) inside your configuration since use-package doesn't load it for you!

I'm using straight.el, which will autoload the required feature. At the same time, I've already enabled its integration-with-use-package feature. Therefore, there is no need to explicitly use (require 'flycheck-grammarly) here.

Oh, okay. This may duplicate to #7?

Sorry that this plugin isn't fully support latex file yet. Can you try with other text file? You can try to set flycheck-grammarly--show-debug-message to t in order to see the debug information.

[hongyi-zhao]

I tried with the following configuration:

(use-package flycheck-grammarly)
(setq flycheck-grammarly--show-debug-message t)

And then open a md file, but still failed to see any effect, as shown below:

[jcs090218]

Did you start M-x flycheck-mode? Just to confirm. 😕

[hongyi-zhao]

Did you start M-x flycheck-mode?

I enabled flycheck-mode globally by default:

(use-package flycheck
   ;:hook (after-init . global-flycheck-mode)
   ;https://www.flycheck.org/en/latest/user/installation.html#use-package
   :init (global-flycheck-mode)
   :config
    (flycheck-add-mode 'tex-chktex 'latex-mode)
    (flycheck-add-mode 'tex-lacheck 'latex-mode)
   :bind (:map flycheck-mode-map
              ("M-n" . flycheck-next-error)
              ("M-p" . flycheck-previous-error)))

[jcs090218]

(setq flycheck-grammarly--show-debug-message t)

Try toggle M-x flycheck-mode manually, you should able to see message like

[INFO] Start connecting to Grammarly API...

Give it some time since it sents network request to Grammarly API.

Sorry I don't use straight.el and you mentioned autoload, does it do the same with (require 'flycheck-grammarly)? 😕 Try print out flycheck-checkers and make sure grammarly checker is in there.

Try toggle M-x flycheck-mode manually,

It has already been enabled by default, so M-x flycheck-mode will disable it in the current buffer:

Sorry I don't use straight.el and you mentioned autoload, does it do the same with (require 'flycheck-grammarly)?

I use it widely for all of my routine packages autoloading.

confused Try print out flycheck-checkers and make sure grammarly checker is in there.

It seems that the connection to Grammarly API has been established successfully, but I just can't see the checking results:

I think this issue is from #3. I have applied a fix with 5568fea.

Let me know if it works!

[hongyi-zhao]

Yes:

But:

1. Sometimes the same suggestion info will appear more than once.
2. The response is very slow.
3. It doesn't give a correction hint.

[jcs090218]

The performance is mentioned in our todo list section flycheck-grammarly#todo-list.

Try adding up the time flycheck-grammarly-check-time may help avoid duplicate messages.

Edit: Make sure you don't load flycheck-grammarly more than once due to the following code, or else it would try to highlight the error multiple times.

flycheck-grammarly/flycheck-grammarly.el

Lines 228 to 231 in c4b3c5b

	(add-to-list 'flycheck-checkers 'grammarly)
	(add-to-list 'grammarly-on-open-function-list 'flycheck-grammarly--on-open)
	(add-to-list 'grammarly-on-message-function-list 'flycheck-grammarly--on-message)
	(add-to-list 'grammarly-on-close-function-list 'flycheck-grammarly--on-close)

I would recommend you try lsp-grammarly, it's quite nice and fast in terms of speed.

Thank you, it seems the following configuration does the trick:

(use-package flycheck-grammarly
    :config
     (setq flycheck-grammarly--show-debug-message t
           flycheck-grammarly-check-time 2))

I would recommend you try lsp-grammarly, it's quite nice and fast in terms of speed.

Thank you. I’ll give it a shot.
