gocept.jslint

This package integrates the JSHint code analysis tool (http://jshint.com) with Python’s unittest module. (The name is left over from when JSHint didn’t exist and only Douglas Crockford’s JSLint was available.)

It provides a special JSLint-TestCase class that collects JavaScript files (in a configurable manner) and dynamically generates a test method for each file that calls jshint on that file.

To use it, create a test class like this:

class MyJSLintTest(gocept.jslint.TestCase):

    include = ('my.package.browser:js',
               'my.package.browser:js/lib')
    options = (gocept.jslint.TestCase.options +
               ('browser', 'jquery',))

include is a list of “resource paths” of the form packagename:path (passed to pkg_resources).

options is a list of arguments that are passed to JSHint (see its documentation for details).

predefined is a list of global names that should be considered predefined (for use with the undef option).

exclude can be a list of filenames (without path) that will not be collected.

All files ending in .js contained in each of these paths will be collected, and the test class will grow a method named test_jslint_filename.js.

You can ignore JSLint error by setting ignore on the test class (a list of substrings that are matched against each JSLint output line):

ignore = (

“Use a named parameter”, )
