grunt jshint cannot find .jshintrc files in Windows cmd about grunt-contrib-jshint HOT 5 CLOSED

This is because jshint at the moment doesn't expose the way they load .jshintrc files. So we have our own implementation and you need to specify the path and name with the jshintrc option: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-jshint#jshintrc

We're definitely interested in removing our implementation in favor of jshint when/if it is exposed.

I do have .jshintrc file specfied. Here's my jshint part of Gruntfile.js

jshint: {
  all: [
    'Gruntfile.js',
    'src/**/*.js',
    'test/**/*.js',
    '!test/mocha.js',
    '!test/expect.js'
  ],
  options: {
    jshintrc: '.jshintrc',
    jshintignore: '.jshintignore'
  }
},

And this config works perfectly in Mac OS X

Oh strange. I don't have a Win Xp machine to test but I'll double check it on Windows 7.

@shama Oops, wrong impression. The problem is the same in Mac OS X. The project I am linting is https://github.com/thx/brix-core , which has JavaScript code for Node.js, browsers and mocha testcases.

I guess I'll have to stick with verbose options in Gruntfile.js for now.

I've splited the task into tasks with different settings. https://github.com/thx/brix-core/blob/master/Gruntfile.js#L7
In this way, both jshint and grunt jshint work. And the .jshintrc files are the same.
