Prerequisites

• Can you reproduce the problem with Debug -> Reload Without Extensions?
• Did you perform a cursory search to see if your bug or enhancement is already reported?
• Did you read the Troubleshooting guide?

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 329d08ffc) on Windows 10

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

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

Is it because of Node not starting?

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.

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.
