vim - How to check multiple files at once? -

currently, if run :syntasticcheck, :errors displays errors current buffer only. want check python (*.py) files in current working directory, , locations aggregated in single locationlist.

i know possible because syntastic documentation implies it, e.g. there syntastic_ignore_files setting ignoring patterns of filenames.

my failed attempt:

1. set let g:syntastic_aggregate_errors = 1
2. open *.py files :n *.py
3. :bufdo syntasticcheck
4. it cycles through each buffer , runs check. however, when finished :errors shows errors last buffer checked.

this not possible, , there no plan implement it.

some checkers check include files , like, , may not care errors there. also, there situations when don't want check files automatically (this useful when have active mode enabled).

let g:syntastic_aggregate_errors = 1

this aggregates errors when running different checkers against same file. doesn't aggregate errors when running same checker against set of files.

it cycles through each buffer , runs check. however, when finished :errors shows errors last buffer checked.

yes, :errors shows error window current buffer.

you might set g:syntastic_check_on_open , active mode , open files in separate windows. run checks against files, results still per file, not global. , window positions screwed because of limitations in vim's api. basically, there no way want if checker you're running doesn't check files itself.
