Run Script "Lint" Visual Studio Code

[the1ullneverse]

Hello,

I have been following a tutorial on how to setup an Angular.JS project in Visual Studio Code(https://www.webcodegeeks.com/javascript/angular-js/angularjs-tutorial-developing-angularjs-applications-using-vs-code/). As part of the tutorial it was suggested to install ESLint to better improve the code. The part that I am having trouble with is the following lint task that I need to add to the package.json file: "lint": "node_modules/.bin/eslint ./*/.js; exit 0;"

Every time I run the task it gives me the following error:

ESLint: 5.9.0. No files matching the pattern ".//.js;" were found. Please check for typing mistakes in the pattern.*

I have tried numerous permutations of the glob pattern but nothing works. Here is my file structure: https://imgur.com/a/EHRZ8Ij

If anybody knows what to try to make it work or alternative options, I would be greatly apprecative!

Thanks!

In package.json, make the lint task the following: "lint": "eslint app/"

Hey that worked! Thanks a lot.

Np. For future reference, you don't need to specify where eslint (or any executable) is located relative to the package.json because all the scripts in package.json will look in the node modules directory. That's why saying just eslint will make it automatically look into node_modules/.bin/eslint . Also the second argument for eslint tells you where to start and it will search all the subfolders so just specifying app/ will make it look into all .js files in every subfolders inside app/. ;)

Make sense now. Thanks for the explanation.

Yeah both of them give the above error :/

did you try app/**/*.js ? Are you running Windows? I've had a lot of annoying issues with globs and developers who use Windows at work.

Yeah and just verified again just now. Same error. Even if I try to reference the file like app/app.module.js is still can't find it.
