Error highlighting not working

[BrettHemes-3M]

Moving this from discussions as I have tried again on a new fresh Ubuntu install with no other bundles with the same result...

Ubuntu 20.04
Vim 8.1.2269

I recently got a new Ubuntu 20.04 install going and am having trouble with my new Vim install in combination with vim-erlang-compiler. Long story short, syntax errors are not highlighting.

On save (:w) seemingly nothing happens. If I run :make I get good (expected) error listings and then the prompt

Press ENTER or type command to continue

after pressing Enter Vim displays at the bottom something like

"file_at_hand.erl:##" [New File]
(1 of #): error_number_1_listing
Press ENTER or type command to continue

after pressing Enter here I presented with a new buffer named file_at_hand.erl:## where ## is the line number of the first error.

Then nothing... If I close the new buffer I am back at the original file and I can edit as normal. Its like something is getting stuck as it is generating the error messages and corresponding highlighting?

Do you use Erlang 24?

I suspect that the Erlang compiler's output format was changed in Erlang 24, and the plugin cannot parse it.

I will check whether the plugin works with Erlang 24 on my machine, and if not, I will adjust it to work with the Erlang 24 too.

Indeed, this new install is with OTP 24

@BrettHemes

I fixed the problem in my issue_48 branch.

Could you try it?

[BrettHemes-3M]

I am unsure of how to force Vundle to use a non-default branch. Do you know?

[BrettHemes-3M]

OK, I was able to figure out how to test this and have confirmed it is working with my setup and OTP 24 👍

Thank you. The fix is now available in the master branch too.
