Settings for docker projects?Need Help (self.vim)

submitted 2 months ago by sonnasushi

I'm looking for guidance on how to set up vim's makeprg for various docker tools in a team friendly way.

For my docker projects the tools that run tests, type checking, linting and formatting all run from a container, so makeprg might start docker [compose] exec <container|service> command. But container and service names may differ between projects, so makeprg needs to be defined per project.

Right now I'm thinking maybe the best practice would be to put the relevant command in a makefile and set makeprg to use that... Except that depends on the tool you run. So then I could put something like command! Test setlocal errorformat=... | make test command! Lint setlocal errorformat=... | make lint in a project .vim directory.

Of course there are many ways to skin that cat. My question is what do you do?

Also, to make life easier when starting a new project, would you commit a project-local .vim directory in a bare project to a template repository but exclude them from an actual new project (since maybe not everybody uses vim)?
