Syntax error on token “.”, Identifier expected after this token in jshint

Question

I am working with Eclipse and installed jshint for my application development with node.js, and now I am working on socket.io, where I have written following code.

io.sockets.in('room').emit('event_name', data);

here I am getting warrning from jshint as follows in Eclipse (Kepler).

Syntax error on token ".", Identifier expected after this token

How Do I solve this problem? Can someone tell me what the syntax error is here?

Answer 1

According to the JSHint docs: http://www.jshint.com/docs/

ignoreThis(); // jshint ignore:line

That should work. There may also be some other configuration to ignore certain errors. Obviously you wouldn't want to ignore all syntax errors...
