Assuming that you are indenting your file with tabs this is another case of jshint/jshint#3151. There are reports that if you set your indent property of your JSHint configuration to 1 this issue can be worked around. If you don't have a .jshintrc file the following should work:

{
  "indent": 1
}

If anyone is directed here and isn't using tabs to indent please provide code to reproduce this so an issue can be filed on JSHint to get this fixed there.

I'm leaving this issue open @nemchik so that others hitting it will be directed here by the search the package does. If you aren't interested in getting further notifications for this thread please click the "Unsubscribe" button on the right, thanks!

No problem. These all seemed to be duplicates of each other after you started answering them, sorry for opening so many (I couldn't really tell what the errors were for). This is what happens when you open someone else's JavaScript lol.

[Arcanemagus]

No worries, it's a major bug in JSHint causing it to report invalid positions for any file that has tabs in it.

[nemchik]

That's quite ugly. Is there an issue open for this on jshint?

[Arcanemagus]

As stated above: jshint/jshint#3151 😆

I'm having trouble reading today, it's been a long day, thanks for bearing with me!
