grunt-contrib-jshint警告：path必须是一个字符串;

Question

I've been trying to use the jshint grunt module to validate my code, but I always get the following error:

Running "jshint" task
[D] Task source: C:\Coursera\03. Intro Angular JS\conFusion\node_modules\grunt-contrib-jshint\tasks\jshint.js

Running "jshint:all" (jshint) task
[D] Task source: C:\Coursera\03. Intro Angular JS\conFusion\node_modules\grunt-contrib-jshint\tasks\jshint.js
Verifying property jshint.all exists in config...OK
Files: Gruntfile.js, app/scripts/app.js
Options: force=false, reporterOutput=null, jshintrc=".jshintrc", reporter={}
Warning: Path must be a string. Received { toString: [Function], reporter: [Function] } Use --force to continue.

the problem is that even using the --verbose and -debug, it doesnt show anything to work on the error, just "path must be a string", i validated the file with JSLint (using brackets) and it works quite well, website also works fine.

what i have done so far.

• Unistalled node.js and node modules 3 times (trying something different everytime).
• tried to limit my grunt task to simply validate a very simple js file, and also doesnt work, it means thats not related to the code or my gruntfile.js.

Answer 1

我通过将grunt-contrib-jshint从“0.10.0”更新为“0.12.0”来修复此问题。

Answer 2

I was still getting the error after updating node to v6.4.0 .

What helped me was this comment on github (by Jeff Peck):

I have found the issue to be when the reporterOutput option is set to null. If you change that option to refer to an empty string, jshint will work as expected:

 options: { jshintrc: '<%= baseDir %>/.jshintrc', reporterOutput: "", ... 

Doing that allowed grunt jshint to complete.

EDIT:

Well, I did have updated node , but not grunt-contrib-jshint , as per Zeid Selimovic's answer . That works and is better than previous workaround

Answer 3

I got the issue just after updation of node (v6.9.2). It got resolved after updating grunt-contrib-jshint to the latest version ("1.1.0") by following steps:

npm uninstall grunt-contrib-jshint --save-dev

npm install grunt-contrib-jshint --save-dev
