Travis's lame ol' blog

I went to add JSLint to my Visual Studio tools and was disappointed that the WSH version has disappeared (or was discontinued). Luckily the new and improved JSHint supports a WSH wrapper.

1. Grab JSHLint.

2. In Visual Studio → Tools → External Tools…

3. Add a new tool with the following field values:

   Title:

   &JSHint

   Command:

   %systemroot%\system32\cscript.exe

   Arguments:

   //Nologo "%YourJSHintPath%\env\wsh.js" $(ItemPath)

   Initial directory:

   "%YourJSHintPath%\"

   Use Output window

   checked

   

4. Open up any *.js file you'd like to validate

5. Select the all new JSHint from your tools menu:

   

The output that JSHint provides appears to be much more useful than the old JSLint version as well.
