Using 0.2.3-1

[vitch]

I'm updating a project to grunt 0.4 and so I need to use release 0.2.3-1 of grunt-jslint. Unfortunately this version isn't available via npm install yet.

I tried adding the git URL as a dependency in my package.json:

"grunt-jslint": "git://github.com/stephenmathieson/grunt-jslint.git#0.2.3-1",

However this dies with:

Loading "jslint.js" tasks and helpers...ERROR
>> TaskError: Unable to read "[path]node_modules/grunt-jslint/tasks/JSLint/jslint.js" file (Error code: ENOENT).

Looking at it I think this is because the JSLint submodule is not available. Is there a workaround for this or is it possible to make 0.2.3-1 available via npm?

Thanks!

You'll have to manually init the submodule as git clone doesn't do this for you:

cd [path]/node_modules/grunt-jslint/tasks/JSLint
git submodule update --init

This is an obnoxious task and I do plan on pushing the latest to NPM soon.

Thanks!

The other workaround is to git clone --recursive git://github.com/stephenmathieson/grunt-jslint.git to a folder and then npm install /path/to/checked/out/repo

The downside of both approaches is that my CI server can't automatically npm install to get all dependencies so I'll look forward to the NPM release :)

FYI - I just pushed to NPM.

Awesome - thanks so much :D
