Question

In my HTTP Status Check project:

If I run node_modules/.bin/jshint . I get:

Don't exit with a non-zero error code unless you really mean it. Except for uninstall scripts, this will cause the npm action to fail, and potentially be rolled back. If the failure is minor or only will prevent some optional features, then it's better to just print a warning and exit successfully.

From https://www.npmjs.org/doc/misc/npm-scripts.html

Use:

node_modules/.bin/jshint .; true

Or write a wrapper that calls jshint and then ignores the exit code and exits successfully with a exit code of zero.
