Problems setting Vim + Syntastic + JSHint (Linux)

Question

I have JSHint installed:

alex@alex-K43U:~$ which jshint
/home/alex/nvm/v0.8.8/bin/jshint
'/home/alex/.vim/bundle/syntastic' 

And I'm pointing to it on my .vimrc :

" Syntastic
let g:syntastic_check_on_open=1
let g:syntastic_javascript_checkers = ['jshint']
let g:syntastic_jshint_exec='/home/alex/nvm/v0.8.8/bin/jshint'

Vim seems to be detecting it:

Syntastic: active mode enabled
Syntastic info for filetype: javascript
Available checker(s): jshint
Currently enabled checker(s): jshint

But when I open a .js file I get stuff like this:

checker javascript/jshint returned abnormal status

And no error highlight at all. What could be the problem?

(I even added a .jshintrc file in my home path but no luck)

Answer 1

I was just having this issue with jshint v2.6.3. The issue for me was that my .jshintrc was malformed. I took my the contents of the file from another SO question and didn't realize that I needed to have everything wrapped in curly braces.

Opening my .jshintrc in my project directory and changing:

"globals": {
    "angular": true
}

to

{
  "globals": {
    "angular": true
  }
}

Did the trick for me. This might not be your issue, but hopefully this will help someone!
