[erlang-questions] Emacs + Flycheck + rebar3 + proper

[Frans Schneider]

I think you are right about another checker running. Using the flycheck 
verify setup command (C-c ! v), both the erlang-rebar3 and erlang 
checkers show up, both being enabled.

   Syntax checkers for buffer prop_basics.erl in erlang-mode:

     erlang-rebar3
       - may enable: yes
       - predicate:  t
       - executable: Found at /home/frans/.cache/rebar3/bin/rebar3

     erlang
       - may enable: yes
       - executable: Found at /usr/lib/erlang/bin/erlc

   Flycheck Mode is enabled.  Use C-u C-c ! x to enable disabled
   checkers.

Disabling the erlang checker with Cc ! x makes the error disappear, BUT 
with it all other syntax errors which is not a good thing.

Could somebody please check if this is a bug or has to do with my local 
setup?

Frans
