How do I turn off JSLint in Visual Studio 2017?

Question

I loaded up an older aspnet mvc project in Visual Studio 2017, and I can't build it because thousands of warnings/errors from jslint are telling me that the jQuery package has bad bracket placement, among many other things. Frankly, I don't care about any of the errors from jslint, least of all the jQuery errors.

I can't find any options for jslint in the GUI.

• Right-clicking on the project gives no jslint context menu
• It doesn't seem to exist in Tools > Options
• I tried this solution, of turning off EsLint, but that did nothing.

Answer 1

JSLint.Net is a NuGet package. You can configure it via a JSLintNet.json settings file (at the end of that page it says there's a settings dialog, but I can't find it in either VS 2015 or VS 2017.) Or you can uninstall the package thru the Project > Manage NuGet Packages... menu.

Answer 2

Don't know about VS2015 or 2017, but in 2019 the settings file JSLintNet.json can be created in the project folder and then you can set

"runOnBuild": false, "cancelBuild": false

Here's my complete file:

{
  "ignore": [
  "\\www\\js-lib\\*.*"
],
"options": {
 "predef": {
  "$": true,
  "document": true,
  "login": true,
  "setup": true,
  "window": true,
  "popup": true
 },
 "plusplus": true,
 "unparam": true,
 "white": true
},
"output": "Warning",
"runOnSave": true,
"runOnBuild": false,
"cancelBuild": false
}
