jshint-checkstyle-reporter

JSHint checkstyle file reporter

Writes checkstyle output to a file. This can be used to report JSHint results to Jenkins.

Usage

Standard JSHint cli

# optional: specify a different filename, default: checkstyle.xml
export JSHINT_CHECKSTYLE_FILE="jshint.xml"
# run jshint
jshint --reporter node_modules/jshint-checkstyle-reporter *.js subfolder/*.js sub/subfolder.js

As of 08/20/2014 JSHint's --reporter checkstyle reporter always logs everything as level error resulting in <error severity="error" ... /> for every xml entry. I made this tool for that purpose, it translates the given issue code to the actual severity level resulting in proper logging.

Like so:

<error line="227" column="44" severity="error" message="Too many errors. (16% scanned)." source="jshint.E043" />
<error line="42" column="14" severity="warning" message="Missing semicolon." source="jshint.W033" />

This way Jenkins actually registers the different levels (error and warning)

The message codes are up to date as of 08/20/2014
