Question

I’m trying to use SublimeLinter in SublimeText2. Packages is installed, node.exe too, the path to node.exe is correct:

{
    "sublimelinter_executable_map": {
        "javascript":"C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe",
        "css":"C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe"
    }
}

write simple code:

function foo(){
    x != hg
    а = р
    в  hghhgg
}

save and no linter messages!
At the same time in console I see the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".\sublime_plugin.py", line 190, in on_post_save
File ".\sublime_plugin.py", line 154, in run_timed_function

Per the SublimeLinter Default Settings (prefs>pkg settings>sublimelinter>settings-default), the “sublimelinter_executable_map” value is only used for specifying the perl/php/ruby path. So using it for the js and css paths won’t help, and may even break it.

Here is how I set up linting for JavaSript:

• Install jslint using Package Control (see wbond.com)

Follow all pre-req’s and installation instructions found here.

In User – Settings for SublimeLinter:
{
“sublimelinter”: true,
“javascript_linter”: “jslint”
}

You can also use jshint instead, just a matter of preference.
