This rule ports the following steps of R CMD check (see the conformance table for the legend):

This rule is a best-effort rule.

Finds syntax errors with the configured (error-tolerant) parser. Offers extensible quick fixes to repair them.
This linting rule is implemented in src/linter/rules/syntactically-valid.ts.

Linting rules can be configured by passing a configuration object to the linter query as shown in the example below. The syntactically-valid rule accepts the following configuration options:

• disabledFixes
  Names of auto-fix patterns to disable (default none).
  R CMD check #35
• preferFix
  Preferred FixDirection ; each error gets a single fix, favouring a candidate of this direction.
  R CMD check #35

x <- c(1, 2

The linting query can be used to run this rule on the above example:

[ { "type": "linter",   "rules": [ { "name": "syntactically-valid",     "config": {} } ] } ]
