Command History:

[u-m-i]

Is the command history empty in the file?

[jcoding2]

As far as I can tell.

[u-m-i]

Well the ALEInfo input you're showing have Current Filetype: ale-info. It would be much easier to help if you share the language you are trying to code and what is the output of ALEInfo once the file is open.

[jcoding2]

OK, I did run ALEInfo in a Lua file, that's what this input is from.

[jcoding2]

Realized that I didn't have the linters installed.

Ok, glad that you found the problem!
