Ignore Custom Preprocessor Directives

[Si Robertson]

Hi guys,

I am using preprocessor directives in my JavaScript code, and obviously JSHint isn't happy when it encounters them.

#if BUILD::DEBUG

console.log( "this will be stripped out of release builds" )

#endif

Is it possible to tell JSHint to ignore those lines (i.e. lines that begin with a hash symbol), or am I going to have to hack the JSHint source code?

Thanks :-)

Yep, you're going to have to hack JSHint source. Pre-processor directives are not part of the language so we won't add support for it.

I thought that would be the case :-)

No problem though, I chained an additional replace() near the beginning of the lexer code (where the line endings are normalized etc) and that seems have worked nicely. Thankfully it was a lot easier than I expected to it be.

Hi Si,

I'm having the same problem. Would you mind sharing a bit more code on what you did, I'm fairly new at coding so any help is greatly appreciated.
