Answer 1

Read the docs and search for /*global

Answer 2

Add this in your .jshintrc

"predef" : ["define"]   // Custom globals for requirejs

Answer 3

late to the party, but use this option in your jshintrc:

"dojo": true

and thou shall rest peacefully without red warnings...

Answer 4

Just to expand a bit, here's a .jshintrc setup for Mocha:

{
  ....
  "globals"   : {
    /* MOCHA */
    "describe"   : false,
    "it"         : false,
    "before"     : false,
    "beforeEach" : false,
    "after"      : false,
    "afterEach"  : false
  }
}

From the JSHint Docs - the false (the default) means the variable is read-only.

If you are defining globals only for a specific file, you can do this:

/*global describe, it, before, beforeEach, after, afterEach */

Answer 5

To avoid the not defined warning in jshint for the javascript add comments like:

/*global describe:true*/

Options

Answer 6

If you are working on node js. Add these two lines in the beginning of your file

/*jslint node: true */
"use strict";
