Broken install

[Carl Patenaude-Poulin]

To reproduce:

• From a blank repo/machine, add jshint to the Gemfile.
• bundle exec jshint

Error message:

Based on your error message, it appears that your missing the jshint.yml configuration file that's documented as part of the installation process.

You can run the following generator to give you this configuration file in your codebase:

bundle exec rake jshint:install_config

[Carl Patenaude-Poulin]

I did try that, but this is what happens:

wpa151018:mcbuddy carl$ bundle exec rake jshint:install_config
rake aborted!
No Rakefile found (looking for: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb, Rakefile.rb)

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Hi @LilRed,

It sounds like your missing a Rakefile from the root of your Rails project, it should contain the following:

# Add your own tasks in files placed in lib/tasks ending in .rake,
# for example lib/tasks/capistrano.rake, and they will automatically be available to Rake.

require File.expand_path('../config/application', __FILE__)

Rails.application.load_tasks

Can you confirm that the project your integrating the JSHint gem with is Rails?

[Carl Patenaude-Poulin]

Thanks for the update. I guess the issue is that the Rakefile doesn't get created+updated if it doesn't already exist.

[Damian Nicholson]

That's correct. When you scaffold a new Rails project it generates a Rakefile for you, along with a bunch of other files / directories e.g.

Gemfile      README.rdoc  app          config       db           log          test         vendor
Gemfile.lock Rakefile     bin          config.ru    lib          public       tmp

[Carl Patenaude-Poulin]

So what if I want to use this in a non-Rails project :o

[Damian Nicholson]

At present I'd hazard a guess that this gem isn't compatible with a non-Rails project. But I don't think it'd take too much work / refactoring to loosen this coupling so that it could be less Rails agnostic.

I've made a separate issue to loosen this dependency based on your feedback, as this is something that I'd also like to see. If your able to chime in on that, with some requirements / thoughts that'd be great.

[Carl Patenaude-Poulin]

I added the Rakefile you provided and it worked fine for a non-Rails project.

[Damian Nicholson]

Hehe happy days! 👍

If your interested in contributing some documentation around how this is achieved in a non Rails project, it'd be very much appreciated :)
