For some reason, SublimeLinter3, or the SublimeLinter3 JSHint linter plugin, seems unable to parse the PATH
environment variable and is thus unable to run jshint
:
SublimeLinter: Could not parse shell PATH output:
<empty>
error: SublimeLinter could not determine your shell PATH. It is unlikely that any linters will work.
Please see the troubleshooting guide for info on how to debug PATH problems.
SublimeLinter: WARNING: jshint deactivated, cannot locate 'jshint'
Can't connect
Unable to fetch update url contents
The jshint
binary is in the PATH
, however:
$ which jshint
/home/path/to/bin/jshint
The problem only occurs on Ubuntu. Works flawlessly on OS X. I've scoured through the official docs to no avail.
Using bash
if that's of any consequence.
I eventually fixed this by opening up the SublimeLinter preferences and manually adding the path to the linter:
"paths": {
"linux": ["/path/to/jshint/bin"],
"osx": [],
"windows": []
},
If you don't already have it, you can install via npm
:
npm install -g jshint
And you find its location with:
which jshint
or in Windows:
where jshint
