Question

I have this javascript:

(function ($) {
    // a comment
})(window.jQuery);

I’m running the wsh version of JSHint with these options:

Command:

%systemroot%\system32\cscript.exe

Arguments:

//Nologo "%userprofile%\Documents\jshint\env\wsh.js" /forin:true,noarg:true,noempty:true,eqeqeq:true,bitwise:true,undef:true,unused:true,browser:true,jquery:true,indent:4,maxerr:500 $(ItemPath)

(The $(ItemPath) is replaced by the current selected item in Visual Studio)

…And it’s giving me this output:

[%pathname%\js\JScript1.js]
Line 3 character 18: Object doesn't support this property or method

Implied globals:
    window: 3

I’ve tried arranging the parens to use JSLint style, but that gives me the same error:

(function ($) {
    // a comment
}(window.jQuery));

Am I doing something wrong with my javascript or is this a JSHint bug?

Update: I’m leaning towards JSHint bug, this javascript:

(function ($) {
    // a comment
})(window.jQuery);
// is this a bug?
window.alert("maybe?");

Gives me this error:

Line 5 character 23: Object doesn't support this property or method

Update #2: I think that this is the correct way to pass in args to wsh.js:

//U //Nologo "%userprofile%\Documents\jshint\env\wsh.js" /forin:true /noarg:true /noempty:true /eqeqeq:true /bitwise:true /undef:true /unused:true /browser:true /jquery:true /indent:4 /maxerr:500 $(ItemPath)

However, this code:

(function (w, $) {})(window, jQuery);

Still outputs this:

[%pathname%\js\JScript1.js]
Line 1 character 37: Object doesn't support this property or method

Update #3: It turns out, I am indeed an idiot.

I was trying to use the latest:
https://nodeload.github.com/jshint/jshint/zipball/master

…When I should have been using r09:

So this was a bug in latest master and it’s been fixed for the r10 release: http://www.jshint.com/changelog/
