jshint

Currently I'm running my tests with protractor/grunt but I'm getting the follow error message: 'arrow function syntax (=>)' is only available in ES6 (use 'esversion: 6'). I think my .jshintrc file is not being read, because I've added this condition. .jshintrc { "esversion": 6 } Gruntfile.js jshint : { all: ["tests/API/**/*.js"], options: { undef: true, mocha: true, node: true, jshintrc: true, esversion: 6, globals: { require: true, module: true, console: true, esversion: 6, } }, ui: ["tests/UI/**/*.js"], options: { undef: true, mocha: true, node: true, jshintrc: true, esversion: 6, globals: {

I'm trying to follow this instruction https://webpack.js.org/loaders/jshint-loader/ and get an error: My config file: const path = require('path'); module.exports = { entry: { app: './index.js' }, output: { filename: 'bundle.js', path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist') }, module: { rules: [ { test: /\.js$/, // include .js files enforce: "pre", // preload the jshint loader exclude: /node_modules/, // exclude any and all files in the node_modules folder use: [ { loader: "jshint-loader" } ] } ] }, // more options in the optional jshint object jshint: { // any jshint option http://www.jshint.com

It's giving me the error "Bad line breaking before ','" because I have code like the following var one = 1 , two = 2 , three = 3 ; If I put the , at the end of the line instead of the beginning of the next, it doesn't complain. But I want to code this way. Is there a way I can make it not show this warning? I looked though JSHint's options but there isn't anything pertaining to this error. zappan As mentioned in the comments of the laxbreak answer, laxcomma option should actually be used for this particular situation (it has been implemented in the meantime). See http://jshint.com/docs/options

I recently received a comment on one of my blog posts about JSLint asking why JSLint threw an error with the following: s === "test" ? MyFunc() : MyFunc2(); The error generated was: "Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression." Clearly JSLint is expecting an assignment here, somthing more like: var y = (s === "test") ? MyFunc() : MyFunc2(); But, I don't really see the problem with the first example. Is it really the case that ternary operators should only be used for assignments? I couldn't see anything on JSLint.com , nor was there anything apparent in the book
