When JSHint task added there is always an error

[rustamk]

When the following task is added:

jshint {
    source = fileTree(dir: "${projectDir}/", include: "**/*.js")
    dest = file("${buildDir}/jshint.out")
    reporter = 'checkstyle'
    jshint.options = [expr: "true", unused: "true"]
}

I get the following error:

• What went wrong:
  A problem occurred evaluating root project 'primetime_js'.

  No such property: source for class: com.eriwen.gradle.js.JsHintExtension_Decorated

Same here.
Can it be a problem with new Gradle version (2.0) combined with newest plugin 1.12.1. ?

It is not only source, the same is true for other properties, they are not present in JsHintExtension_Decorated.

UPDATE: The same happens to me for jsdoc task, other tasks like gzipJs works.
Hope it helps..

I am currently seeing this issue as well with Gradle 2.0 and js plugin version 1.12.1

[gcoonrod]

I got around this issue by appending tasks.jshint to the options in the jshint closure.

jshint {
    tasks.jshint.source = javascript.source.dev.js.files
    tasks.jshint.dest = file ("${buildDir}/jshint.out")
    tasks.jshint.outputToStdOut = true
    tasks.jshint.reporter = 'checkstyle'
    jshint.options = [expr: "true", unused: "false"]
}

I am also seeing this. Gradle v1.12 works, but v2.0 doesn't. When I do @gcoonrod's workaround of adding tasks.jshint. to the properties, a different error pops up:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':jshint'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':rhino'.
   > Could not find org.mozilla:rhino:1.7R3.
     Required by:
         :gradle-js-plugin-test:unspecified

This seems like a regression of #15 (also see #98), but the workaround mentioned in that ticket doesn't work.

Here's the full build.gradle that makes this happen:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.eriwen:gradle-js-plugin:1.12.1'
    }
}
apply plugin:'com.eriwen.gradle.js'

javascript.source {
    dev.js {
        srcDir 'src'
        include "**/*.js"
        exclude "*.min.js"
    }
}

jshint {
    tasks.jshint.source = javascript.source.dev.js.files
    tasks.jshint.dest = file ("${buildDir}/jshint.out")
    tasks.jshint.outputToStdOut = true
    tasks.jshint.reporter = 'checkstyle'
    jshint.options = [expr: "true", unused: "false"]
}

@paleozogt add mavenCentral to your build.

buildscript {
  repositories {
    jcenter()
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "com.eriwen:gradle-js-plugin:1.12.1"
  }
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
apply plugin: "com.eriwen.gradle.js"

[Scuilion]

@eriwen Should Maven Central be included in the plugin or should a user be responsible for making that reference?

[paleozogt]

Thanks @Scuilion that worked!

@eriwen I think the plugin should report the error more clearly. Or at least the sample code on the main github page needs to be updated. Right now that sample code doesn't work without obtuse workarounds like this.

[Scuilion]

@eriwen I take that back. I don't think maven central should be part of the plugin. Carry on!

Combining all workarounds mention above, jshint finally works.
It am using gradle-js-plugin 1.12.1 with Gradle 2.4
It seems that maven central has included the rhino dependency (org.mozilla:rhino:1.7R3) at this time.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url = "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.eriwen:gradle-js-plugin:1.12.1"
    }
}  

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}  

apply plugin: "com.eriwen.gradle.js"  

javascript.source {
    dev {
        js {
            srcDir file("${mySourcePath}")
            include "*.js"
            exclude "lib/*.js"
        }
    }
}  

jshint {
    tasks.jshint.source = javascript.source.dev.js.files
    tasks.jshint.dest = file("${buildDir}/jshint.out")
    tasks.jshint.outputToStdOut = false
    tasks.jshint.reporter = 'checkstyle'
    jshint.options = [
        expr: "true",
        unused: "true"
    ]
}

I using Gradle 2.14.1 and the JsHint plugin 1.12.1 and facing this issue :
Could not create an instance of type com.eriwen.gradle.js.source.internal.DefaultJavaScriptSourceSet_Decorated.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url = "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.eriwen:gradle-js-plugin:1.12.1"
    }
} 
apply plugin: "com.eriwen.gradle.js"

javascript.source {
    dev {
        js {
            srcDir file("${mySourcePath}")
            include "*.js"

        }
    }
} 


jshint {
    tasks.jshint.source = javascript.source.dev.js.files
    tasks.jshint.dest = file("src/test/jshint.xml")
    tasks.jshint.outputToStdOut = false
    tasks.jshint.reporter = 'checkstyle'
    jshint.options = [
        expr: "true",
        unused: "true"
    ]
    jshint.predef = [
        define : "true",$ : "true",setTimeout : "true",window : "true",
        require : "true",localStorage : "true",Set : "true",
        alert : "true",console : "true",document : "true",
        FormData : "true",Blob : "true",XMLHttpRequest : "true",
        TextDecoder : "true",DataView : "true",requirejs: "true"
    ]
}

If I remove the block of javascript.source to set the source then it works fine else it gives error.
