Errors when running against targets about grunt-contrib-jshint HOT 10 CLOSED

Just discovered this syntax works, so maybe the README just needs to be updated?

files: {
    src: ['./Gruntfile.js', '<%= cfg.js_src %>', '!<%= cfg.libs_dir %>/**']
}

from grunt-contrib-jshint.

Sorry I'm not seeing where in the docs it's attempting that syntax. Could you point where in the examples the error is? https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-jshint/blob/master/docs/jshint-examples.md

Using files is usually for multiple src-dest mappings: http://gruntjs.com/configuring-tasks#files-object-format

I find it easiest to just do one of these formats:

jshint: {
  target: {
    src: ['Gruntfile.js']
  },
  target2: ['Gruntfile.js']
}

Ah, sorry, I was looking at the last example on https://npmjs.org/package/grunt-contrib-jshint, which I thought was pulled from the Github README, but now I see that is not the case.

Ah ha... yeah the npm readmes are from the last npm published version of the github readme. That was a change we reverted but never published. I just published as 0.4.0 and so that readme should be updated soon. Thanks for reporting!

Not sure if it matters, but npm still has the syntax example for ignoring specific files using files: [array of files] and not src: [array of files]. I was having the same issue as bclinkinbeard.

Thanks @mtpultz. Removed that example from the docs. npm should get updated (for real this time) upon next publish.

@mtpultz / @shama, how do you ignore files by using src: [ ... ]?

from grunt-contrib-jshint.

@wkeese By using negate ! at the beginning of a pattern: http://gruntjs.com/configuring-tasks#globbing-patterns

Ah, I see, thanks!

Im confused -- what about the files array format? http://gruntjs.com/configuring-tasks#files-array-format
