Question

I am using JavaScript Lint for checking JavaScript source code. It’s working fine with recursive analysis showing results in command window, but I would like to integrate JavaScript Lint results to Hudson (running JavaScript Lint from batch file).
How can I get log of JavaScript Lint saved to XML?
There are output format configuration in JavaScript Lint, but those customize format of error message.

Thank you in advance,
Andrey

Answer 1

I have found the solution for applying Jslint in Hudson. Instead of JavaScript Lint there is jslint4java which reports in XML format.
Here is step by step instructions:

1. Download jslint4java

2. Prepare Ant script which prepares list of all JS files in project recursively, example:

   <project name="JSlint" default="jslint" basedir=".">
   <description>
       Verify JS files
   </description>
   <target name="jslint" description="Run the JSLint tool on JS files">
   <fileset dir="ProjectForVerification/js" id="jsfiles.raw">
   <include name="*.js" />
   <exclude name="*.min.js" />
   </fileset>
   <pathconvert pathsep=" " property="jsfiles.clean" refid="jsfiles.raw" />
   <exec executable="java" output="jslint.xml">
   <arg line="-jar jslint4java.jar --report xml ${jsfiles.clean}" />
   </exec>
   </target>
   </project>
   

3. Apply Ant script in Hudson for a job and select Jslint output file name (jslint.xml) in ‘Report Violations’
