Tern Node Lint

0.1.0 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript maintenance

Tern plugin adding validation for Node.js require() statements. Version 0.1.0 (probably outdated, last release unknown). Integrates with Tern code intelligence to lint require module paths. Depends on tern and node plugins. Minimal maintenance; no updates since early 2015. Alternative: use TypeScript or ESLint with import/no-unresolved for require validation.

Common errors

error Error: Cannot find module 'tern-node-lint' ↓

cause Not installed or misplaced in node_modules

fix

Run 'npm install tern-node-lint' in the project root.

cause Missing in .tern-project or programmatic registration

fix

Add 'node-lint' to plugins in .tern-project.

Warnings

deprecated Package has no releases since 0.1.0 (2015). Tern ecosystem is mostly unmaintained. ↓

fix Switch to TypeScript or ESLint for require validation.

gotcha Requires both 'node' and 'lint' plugins to be enabled; order matters. ↓

fix Add plugins in order: node, lint, node-lint.

breaking Breaking changes in Tern 0.12+ may cause plugin incompatibility. ↓

fix Pin Tern to 0.11 or earlier.
