Description
## Information
**VIM version**
VIM - Vi IMproved 9.1 (2024 Jan 02, compiled Jan 4 2024 03:08:50)
macOS version - arm64
Operating System: macOS Sonoma 14.4.1
## What went wrong
I'm using MacVim r179 (Vim 9.1.0) and using the latest version of ALE (I updated it today). I'm running macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 and Z shell: zsh 5.9 (x86_64-apple-darwin23.0).
I could not find a solution to this problem on the Internet, so I decided to post it here. When I open a file (say an HTML file) with MacVim by right-clicking on the file and selecting Open With > MacVim *or* using File > Open in MacVim, I am unable to use ALE to lint or fix the file.
However, if I use Terminal Vim (that ships with Mac) or use the Terminal to navigate to the directory where the file is stored and open the file with MacVim, like `mvim file`, ALE works as expected.
Here is my ALE configuration:
```
let g:ale_fixers = { 'html': ['prettier'] }
let g:ale_linters = { 'html': ['stylelint'] }
```
## Reproducing the bug
Open a file in MacVim either by right-clicking on the file and selecting Open With > MacVim *or* using File > Open in MacVim. Then, try to use ALE to lint or fix the file.
## ALEInfo
I opened an HTML file with MacVim from the right-click context menu in Mac, ran `ALEFix`, followed by `ALEInfo`. Here is the output from `ALEInfo`.
