eslint: install eslint with front-end so it can be run manually eslint can be run manually on the main .js files with: ./node_modules/.bin/eslint kallithea/public/js/base.js kallithea/public/js/codemirror_loadmode.js kallithea/public/js/graph.js - but it is quite noisy. Some problems do however stand out as relevant to fix. Script sections in HTML files can also be checked after removing mako markup: hg up -cr. sed -i -e 's/\${[^{}]*\({[^{}]*}[^{}]*\)*}/""/g' -e 's/%\(if\|else\|endif\|for\|endfor\)\>.*//g' -e 's/##.*//g' $(hg loc 'kallithea/templates/**.html') vim kallithea/templates/pullrequests/pullrequest.html +139 # blank out the multi line 'var url = ${}' ./node_modules/.bin/eslint $(hg loc 'kallithea/templates/**.html') hg up -Cr. - but that is even more noisy. The noise is mainly due to eslint not knowing that everything runs together, with kallithea/templates/base/root.html defining global variables, kallithea/public/js/base.js using these and defining functions, which then is used "everywhere". There might be solutions to that - this is a starting point.
