Description

It would be wonderful to have an automated reporting system generated using JavaScript Lint that checks all .js and .html files in the distribution package for inconsistencies.

Maybe JavaScript Lint is not the right tool for us, but we should give it a try and see the results. It is quite configurable, so we can properly set the warning level to our needs.

In my branch I've added a new subdirectory in the automated test to launch a basic lint of the js files and fixed those warnings. I've removed from the checks several of the warnings as I didn't want to start messing around too much, and I've restricted the checked files to only those because the universal keyboard has tons of warnings, but as it's planned to remove them I don't see any reason to do the effort and clean them.

As we move forward we can enable more warnings if we find them interesting and of course expand the check to all the js and html files.

This is great Alfonso.

I would only ask you to please move it under "_dev":

_dev/lint.bat
_dev/lint.config
_dev/bin/ (all necessary exe files)

And go ahead merging it to the trunk.

The automated test folder should be used exclusively for the automated test system, based on JsUnit.

Ok, I've done it that way and I've changed the bat so it checks all the js and html files under editor.

I've fixed all but one warning that it looked to me like a bug in the jslint engine.

Great! I've have made some changes on it, extending the checks to other directories, and making lint.bat accepting an optional parameter for a file name to output the check. Also, you will find lint_report.bat which automatically generates the report file (lint_report.txt).

I've tried to enable the "missing_semicolon" warnings. They are really useful, and actually I've fixed two missing semicolons at our code. But it seams that the "lambda_assign_requires_semicolon" is not always working, so I've disabled it again. I hope will find out a way to use it.

Now we have another powerful tool to guarantee our code quality. This is amazing. Thanks again.
