jshint-path-reporter

JSHint reporter that displays absolute error path with row/column on one line.

A console reporter similar to the default output except the report displays absolute file paths with the row/column appended in a parsable format.

This allows convenient use of JSHint from within tools that apply a filter RegExp to console views to turn error lines into clickable links to instantly navigate to the error location.

Source-map

There is support for source-maps; if a //@ sourceMappingURL is found the reported error position is mapped to the original source file. This works great with output from compilers like TypeScript or build tools like grunt-concat-sourcemap.

WebStorm

This reporter is tested and actively used in WebStorm with grunt-contrib-jshint. For maximum effect have a output filter configured in its edit-tool-dialog of the tool you run, something like:

$FILE_PATH$[ \t]*[:;,\[\(\{<]$LINE$(?:[:;,\.]$COLUMN$)?.*

Usage

Install from NPM

 $ npm install jshint-path-reporter

Then pass the path to the module as the reporter option (see the JSHint docs). It is a bit odd but this is how JSHint finds the module.

grunt-contrib-jshint

grunt.initConfig({
	//..
	jshint: {
		options: {
			jshintrc: '.jshintrc',
			reporter: './node_modules/jshint-path-reporter'
		}),
		source: {
			//..
		}
	}
});

If grunt-contrib-jshint doesn't share '.jshintrc' options over multiple target then you need to get it manually and extend or default:

grunt.initConfig({
	//..
	jshint: {
		options: grunt.util._.defaults({
			reporter: './node_modules/jshint-path-reporter'
		}, grunt.file.readJSON('.jshintrc')),
		source: {
			options: {
				//override jshint options
			} 
			//..
		},
		minified : {
			options: {
				//override
			} 
			//..
		}
	}
});

Options

Globally disable ANSI colouring

For low-tech displays and pure text.

require('jshint-path-reporter').color(false);

Example output
