+`scalastyle` requires a configuration file for a project to run. When no
+configuration file can be found, ALE will report a problem saying that a
+configuration file is required at line 1.
+
+To disable `scalastyle` globally, use |g:ale_linters| like so: >
+  let g:ale_linters = {'scala': ['scalac']} " Enable only scalac instead
+<
+
+See |g:ale_linters| for more information on disabling linters.
