jsHint throws a TypeError on some .js files

[GarryFlemings]

EDIT: 11 hours after the original post, I read my post again. Where you now see (path to global), I had used a different notation (less thans and greater thans) that didn't show. Very confusing.

I'll consistently call two directories on my C: drive "(path to global)" and "(path to dev)". Neither is relative; both start with C:\ and list directories. (path to dev) is longer; it is a child of (path to global).

expected behavior: jsHint analysis of my .js file
actual behavior: I get this report:

(path to global)\node_modules\jshint\src\jshint.js:5438
        throw err;
        ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined

Sadly, I don't get this for all .js files. Of the two I've tried, one works and one doesn't. Both are modules. The file that causes the report imports from the file that jsHint analyzes without error. Maybe that's relevant.

environment: Windows 10. My .js file includes ES6 syntax. Babel v6.16.0 makes it ES5. Node.js v6.9.2 runs it.

node.js is in C:\Program Files\nodejs.

jshint was 2.9.3. I upgraded to 2.9.4 and got the same behavior.

jsHint is at (path to global)\node_modules\jshint.

A batch file starts jsHint with the command

call (path to global)\jshint (path to dev)\(file).js

In (path to global) are (among others) two files, jshint and jshint.cmd.
jshint

#!/bin/sh
basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\\,/,g')")

case `uname` in
    *CYGWIN*) basedir=`cygpath -w "$basedir"`;;
esac

if [ -x "$basedir/node" ]; then
  "$basedir/node"  "$basedir/node_modules/jshint/bin/jshint" "$@"
  ret=$?
else 
  node  "$basedir/node_modules/jshint/bin/jshint" "$@"
  ret=$?
fi
exit $ret

jshint.cmd

@IF EXIST "%~dp0\node.exe" (
  "%~dp0\node.exe"  "%~dp0\node_modules\jshint\bin\jshint" %*
) ELSE (
  @SETLOCAL
  @SET PATHEXT=%PATHEXT:;.JS;=;%
  node  "%~dp0\node_modules\jshint\bin\jshint" %*
)

The lowest .jshintrc in a directory that is parent to the .js file:

(path to global) is a parent directory to this file.

I'd like to be as helpful as possible in providing any additional information!

Can you please provide the source code that triggers this warning? Please remove all but the lines necessary to reproduce the TypeError.

It's been a few months, so I'm assuming you've worked this out. Let me know if that's not the case, and we can re-open this issue.
