Description

## Information

**VIM version**

VIM - Vi IMproved 8.1 (2018 May 18, compiled Apr 29 2019 04:53:42)
Included patches: 1-1234

Operating System: Windows 10 version 1703

## What went wrong

Whenever I lint a file, `ALEInfo` shows the command ran, and gave the expected output, but I see nothing in the location list, and in fact, no indication of any errors at all.

## Reproducing the bug:

1. Open any file type which ALE recognizes and has a linter for.
2. Deliberately make an error, then save.
3. Note that nothing has changed in the buffer, and there's no indication of anything.
4. `:ALEInfo` and scroll to the bottom.
5. Observe the commands you wished you could have seen.

### :ALEInfo

```
Current Filetype: haskell
Available Linters: ['cabal_new_ghc', 'cabal_ghc', 'ghc', 'ghc_mod', 'hdevtools', 'hie', 'hlint', 'stack_build', 'stack_ghc']
Linter Aliases:
'cabal_new_ghc' -> ['cabal-new-ghc']
'cabal_ghc' -> ['cabal-ghc']
'ghc_mod' -> ['ghc-mod']
'stack_build' -> ['stack-build']
'stack_ghc' -> ['stack-ghc']
Enabled Linters: ['cabal_new_ghc', 'hlint']
Suggested Fixers:
'brittany' - Fix Haskell files with brittany.
'floskell' - Fix Haskell files with floskell.
'hfmt' - Fix Haskell files with hfmt.
'hlint' - Refactor Haskell files with hlint.
'remove_trailing_lines' - Remove all blank lines at the end of a file.
'stylish-haskell' - Refactor Haskell files with stylish-haskell.
