Just wanted to let everyone here know that I’ve created a vim script to automatically check for any lint warnings each time a .js file is saved. http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2578

Kevin and Thomas, thanks for your contributions. I checked out a copy from SVN but there were no Makefile.ref so I downloaded the tar.gz file and went from there. Now I have it working with vim.

Thanks!

I don’t know for sure. You might be able to do something with the BufWrite auto command/hook. I’d suggest asking a vim guru on http://www.vim.org/

Is there some way to make vim fire this off whenever a js file is saved, and simply print out the first warning? I am just now coming to vim from textmate, which does something similar, which i found to be of great benefit. It doesn’t seem like there needs to be the extra step of calling make. And getting the errors as you go helps keep you in line. You could still get the whole jsl output if you called make…

Thanks for the extra bit of polish Thomas.
For completeness, here are all extra identifiers that I have set in my jsl.conf – I had left them out of the post on my blog for brevity.

[...] Running lint on my C code was something I did a lot back in the day. But I always found JSLint annoying; it was too pedantic with respect to coding style, and not very customizable in that regard. Thanks to JavascriptLint and Ken Guest I managed to get F10 bound to opening a new tab with lint’s output on the current file.. [...]

Excellent idea! I’ve adapted it to output to a new tab, although it is a quick hack. Place the following into your vimrc and use :JSLint to get a new tab with the output of jsl on your currect window’s code. I find this handy because it is possible to see both the output and modify your code at the same time.

function! JSLint()
redir => message
silent ! jsl -nologo -nofilelisting -nosummary -nocontext -conf /etc/jsl.conf$
redir END
tabnew
silent put=message
set nomodified
endfunction
command! -nargs=0 -complete=command JSLint call JSLint()
