Question

I am writing JS UT for my NodeJS code. I am using Chai as the assertion library, and I prefer the should syntax. I also use jslint to check the JS file syntax, even the JS files for UT.

Now I have a problem with jslint and Chai. In Chai, you can use:

myvalue.should.be.true;

But jslint give me:

#1 Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression.

I know jslint comes with many options, but I just cannot find the right one to turn off this check.

Answer 1

It turns our jslint is unable to solve my problem. And due to many restrictions of jslint, I turned to jshint, and the option expr saved me 😛
