Is your file indented with tabs?

[guillaumedenece]

Yes

[Arcanemagus]

There is currently a known bug with tab indentation and JSHint, please follow jshint/jshint#3151 for details on when this will be fixed there.

[guillaumedenece]

ok, thank you !

[Arcanemagus]

Reopening this as a tracking issue so future users that update to v3.1.5 will get directed here and see the related JSHint issue.

If anyone is directed here and isn't using tabs to indent your file please file a new issue with a file to reproduce it on the JSHint repo, or file one here and I'll try to help you in getting one filed there where it can be fixed.

[Arcanemagus]

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
}
