Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression

Question

I'm totally cool with this JSLint error. How can I tolerate it? Is there a flag or checkbox for it?

You get it when you do stuff like:

v && arr.push(v); 

as opposed to:

if (v) {     arr.push(v); } 

Both do the same exact thing. If you put:

window.test = function(v) {     'use strict';     var arr = [];     if (v) {         arr.push(v);     }     return arr; }; 

into the minifier it minifies down to this anyway:

window.test=function(a){var b=[];a&&b.push(a);return b}; 

Answer 1

I don't think JSLint has an option to turn that off.

JSHint (a fork with more options) has an option for it, though: The expr option, documented as "if ExpressionStatement should be allowed as Programs".

Answer 2

You can add the following line to ignore that warning:

/*jshint -W030 */
