          com.googlecode.jslint4java.ant.JSLintTask

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable

public class JSLintTask
extends org.apache.tools.ant.Task

Run JSLint over a tree of files in order to pick holes in your JavaScript.

Example build.xml usage:

 <project name="build-test" xmlns:jsl="antlib:com.googlecode.jslint4java">
   <target name="jslint">
     <jsl:jslint options="undef">
       <formatter type="plain" />
       <fileset dir="." includes="*.js" excludes="*.pack.js" />
     </jsl:jslint>
   </target>
 </project
 

You have to specify one or more nested fileset elements. You may optionally specify a formatter element in order to generate output (as opposed to just a build failed message). Usually, you will want the plain formatter, but in case you want to generate a report, the xml formatter mighht be useful.

Attributes

encoding

Optional. The encoding of the JavaScript files. Defaults to system encoding.

haltOnFailure

Optional. Specify if the build should fail if there are files which do not pass JSLint. Defaults to true.

options

Optional. A comma separated list of Option names. No default.

timeout

Optional. The maximum amount of time that JSLint can run.

Constructor Detail

JSLintTask

public JSLintTask()

Method Detail

add

public void add(org.apache.tools.ant.types.ResourceCollection rc)

Check the contents of this ResourceCollection.

Parameters:

rc - Any kind of resource collection, e.g. fileset.

addConfiguredFormatter

public void addConfiguredFormatter(FormatterElement fe)

Add in a ResultFormatter through the medium of a FormatterElement.

Parameters:

fe -

addPredef

public void addPredef(PredefElement predef)

Capture a predef element.

applyOptions

public void applyOptions(JSLint lint)

execute

public void execute()
             throws org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException

Scan the specified directories for JavaScript files and lint them.

Overrides:

execute in class org.apache.tools.ant.Task

Throws:

org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException

makeLint

public JSLint makeLint()
                throws org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException

Create a new JSLint object.

Throws:

org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException

setEncoding

public void setEncoding(String encoding)

Set the encoding of the source files that JSLint will read. If not specified, the default is the system encoding (via the file.encoding property). If that isn't present, default to UTF-8.

Parameters:

encoding - a valid charset identifier.

setFailureProperty

public void setFailureProperty(String failureProperty)

The name of a property to set upon failure. This property will contain the log message.

setJslint

public void setJslint(File jslint)

Specify an alternative version of jslint.

setHaltOnFailure

public void setHaltOnFailure(boolean haltOnFailure)

Should the build stop if JSLint fails? Defaults to true.

Parameters:

haltOnFailure -

setOptions

public void setOptions(String optionList)
                throws org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException

Set the options for running JSLint. This is a comma separated list of Option names. The names are case-insensitive.

NB: If you want to put an Option.PREDEF in here, you should use a <predef> child element instead. Otherwise, it could be difficult to specify a comma separated list as an element of a comma separated list…

Throws:

org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException

setTimeout

public void setTimeout(long timeout)

Set the maximum time JSLint can run for in seconds.
