Ignore specific warnings about grunt-jslint

[smikes]

The jslint comment is for sending options to jslint, about ignoring whitespace or whatever. If what you want to do is declare a pre-existing read/write global named W020 then the comment syntax is:

/*global W020: true*/

as a directive I think it would be

directives: {
  predef: ['W020']
}

but I'm not sure if that would be read-write. Try the comment syntax first.

I'm sorry you misunderstood my issue. I am trying to use the Bluebird library. The following code to include the library (from test-file.js):

var Promise = require("bluebird");

results in the following error:

test-file.js:1:5 Read only.

The jslint documentation for this error link says you should include the following comment:

/*jshint -W020 */

This is not working for me.

That's a jshint directive, and it won't work on jslint.

You might want something more like

/*global Promise:true*/

if your goal is to allow writes to the Promise global.

Thanks for the help.

/*global Promise:true*/

did not work from test-file.js. I didn't attempt to modify the Bluebird library directly so I resorted to the Gruntfile config:

{directives: {predef: ['Promise']}}
