I'm trying to get JSHint to work with Flymake.
jshint
is indeed installed in /opt/bin
and works. /opt/bin
is in Emacs' exec-path
.
I've followed the directions on the EmacsWiki and have this in my init.el
:
(defun flymake-jshint-init ()
(let* ((temp-file (flymake-init-create-temp-buffer-copy
'flymake-create-temp-inplace))
(local-file (file-relative-name
temp-file
(file-name-directory buffer-file-name))))
(list "jshint" (list local-file))))
(setq flymake-err-line-patterns
(cons '("^ [[:digit:]]+ \\([[:digit:]]+\\),\\([[:digit:]]+\\): \\(.+\\)$"
nil 1 2 3)
flymake-err-line-patterns))
(add-to-list 'flymake-allowed-file-name-masks
'("\\.js\\'" flymake-jshint-init))
When I open JavaScript files, my modeline appears as:
[(Javascript Flymake* AC)]
This is odd because the *
usually doesn't appear when I'm using Flymake with C++ or Python. According to the Flymake docs, Flymake*
means "Flymake is currently running." However, Flymake isn't showing any errors.
I've checked the *Messages*
buffer but it only lists a few lines of Fontifying foo.js... (regexps...................)
. No errors.
Other suggestions?
I found a project called jshint-mode and tried that. It created a buffer called
*jshint-mode*
which revealed the error: JSHint couldn't find the formidable module.I ran M-x setenv in Emacs to set
NODE_PATH
so thatjshint
could find the formidable library. I also setNODE_PATH
in/etc/profile
.
