How to disable the warning 'define' is not defined using JSHint and RequireJS

Question

I uses RequireJS AMD in my project. When i run jshint on my project, it throws error like

In AMD Scripts

 'define' is not defined.

In Mocha test cases

 'describe' is not defined.
 'it' is not defined.

How to remove this warning in jshint?

Answer 1

Just to expand a bit, here's a .jshintrc setup for Mocha:

{
  ....
  "globals"   : {
    /* MOCHA */
    "describe"   : false,
    "it"         : false,
    "before"     : false,
    "beforeEach" : false,
    "after"      : false,
    "afterEach"  : false
  }
}

From the JSHint Docs - the false (the default) means the variable is read-only.

If you are defining globals only for a specific file, you can do this:

/*global describe, it, before, beforeEach, after, afterEach */

Answer 2

jshint: {
  options: {
    mocha: true,
  }
}

is what you want

Answer 3

To avoid the not defined warning in jshint for the javascript add comments like:

/*global describe:true*/
