Overview Description

Coala doesn't give a description of the error what PEP8 does.

Steps to Reproduce

Files:

example.py

# After this comment there should be two lines but I'll only put one.

class Faker:

    def __init__():
        pass

.coafile

[Default]
bears = PEP8Bear
files = *.py

Actual Results

Expected Results

It would be nice to get the error description which PEP8 gives somewhere.

$ pep8 example.py 
example.py:3:1: E302 expected 2 blank lines, found 1

TL;DR Make PEP8Bear give error descriptions from PEP8 instead of just saying This code does not comply to PEP8

[Makman2]

If I recall correctly, PEP8 allows an "issue-format" that provides more detailed messages. But then we don't have patches. Best would be to have patches and issues combined.

We would have to rather fix this for all bears that have code correcting capabilities. I bumped into another similar issue, see #502

PEP8Bear is an exception as it uses the python module directly, which is more flexible. For external linter executables this is a huge problem^^
