Description

I've started a new project only containing three files, HTML, CSS and JS. HTML works fine, CSS works fine, but I just can't get the JavaScript to work. I've only written

'use strict'

const body = document.body;

I then get three JSLint Errors and one ESLint Errors:

Apparently Brackets does not support ES6. Since I have never worked with JSLint, I have absolutely no idea what to do.

Is there a global fix that works for new projects as well?

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a JavaScript-File with a fresh installation of Brackets
2. Write the code mentioned above
3. Voilà!

Expected behavior: Accept ES6 code

Actual behavior: Outputing warnings and an error.

Versions

I'm running Brackets Release 1.14 build 1.14.0-17740 (release 329d08f) on Windows 10

Add /*eslint-env es6*/ to the top of the file(s)

Thanks, that worked! And sorry for the late reply!

It worked for a while, but then I started getting errors like these:

Is it because of Node not starting?

[PortPixel]

No, it's because its not defined anywhere jslint can see, add /*global require*/ to the top of the file(s) to tell jslint it's defined elsewhere.

Aha, now it worked! Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I've had exactly the same issue but it doesn't work to insert /*global require*/ to the top of the file having added /eslint-env es6/S, I didn't know if there was an issues with my placement? I'm attempting to create a basic voice recognition app and I;m new to .js so could use some help.
