JSLint and Jasmine

February 20, 2011 code 1 min read

Lucid is a JavaScript framework I am creating which encapsulates ideas from several large JavaScript applications. I’m sure I’ll be writing about it more as it matures, but for now I want to highlight a commit I made tonight.

I’ve been looking for a way to integrate JSLint (or JSHint, a slightly more sane version of JSLint) into the “build process” of my JavaScript-heavy apps, and it recently occurred to me that it should just be part of the test suite.

I’ve been using Jasmine a lot lately, and it was rather trivial to add a spec that runs all my src and spec files through JSHint. Now I can immediately see where I have poor syntax:
