Sublime text 2: jslint plug-in missing /usr/local/bin/jslint

Question

I've got myself into a bit of a problem. I left my computer at home and went to my summer home for a couple of days, when I return home and try to save files inside Sublime Text 2 I get this error:

module.js:340
throw err;
      ^
Error: Cannot find module '/usr/local/bin/jslint'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25)
at Module.runMain (module.js:492:10)
at process.startup.processNextTick.process._tickCallback (node.js:244:9)
[Finished in 0.1s with exit code 1]

Thankful for advice how to fix this :)

Does `/usr/local/bin/jslint` still exist, and is it executable? — jonvuri, Oct 28 '12 at 14:17

If you have Homebrew, you could try `brew install jsl` followed by `ln -s /usr/local/bin/jsl /usr/local/bin/jslint`. Otherwise you could download it manually (http://www.javascriptlint.com/download.htm) and then copy it to the same location. — jonvuri, Oct 28 '12 at 14:37

You need to have Jslint4Java or Node.js and its jslint module installed on your computer in order to make the plug-in work. Both of these projects provide jslint command.

For specific instructions to install Jslint4Java see:

For specific instructions to install Node.js + jslint see:

https://github.com/reid/node-jslint

Also I recommend jshint (in SublimeLinter package) over jslint:

seemed my Node.js bugged out on me :) thanks for the reply tho :) — Try to be a success, Oct 30 '12 at 08:40

Symlink the executable: ln -s /usr/local/share/npm/bin/jslint /usr/local/bin/jslint

If you didn't use npm install -g, use which jslint to locate it

You might also want to look into the JSLint (with node) for Sublime Text 2 plugin at https://github.com/darrenderidder/Sublime-JSLint as an easy and straightforward alternative.
