Revert to old linting?

[danhank]

Hi,

I've recently been using the latest Dreamweaver 2019 and the linting has completely changed.

I've followed the process of going to manage sites and changing, for example, no-console to 0 (I don't want to be warned about using console.log. This makes no difference., I should state that I don't use sites, no need to, never will. I drag and drop HTML, CSS, JS etc into Dreamweaver from a multitude of locations.

How do I get Global Lint settings that affect any file I'm editing regardless of where it resides?

Surely I don't have to revert to DW 2018? If I do, how do I do that?

Thanks

As a cloud subscriber, you can have CC2018 installed at the same time as 2019 (actually, you can have all 6 CC versions installed simultaneously), they just won't run concurrently...

1. Open the CC Desktop App
2. Click the Apps tab
3. Click the small triangle next to DW's install/update/open icon
4. Choose Manage > Other Versions
5. Pick the version you want and install

That way, you can at least continue working while troubleshooting CC 2019.

Looks like I'll have to do this. It'll save time when assessing actual errors vs warning errors.

I still use CC2015 for production work and never used CC2018 aside from familiarizing myself with it to help people in the forums.

2019 has been much better than 2018, but I don't use Linting (I prefer running online validation).

[danhank]

By online validation you simply mean testing it live?

[Jon Fritz]

Nope, I mean code validation (what the Linter attempts to do locally).

I use either an in-browser add-on that validates the code with the dev tools, or I use the pages below...

HTML: Ready to check - Nu Html Checker

CSS: The W3C CSS Validation Service

You can also validate within DW (if you're connected to the internet) using File > Validate > Validate Current Document (W3C)

Thanks for the info Jon, appreciated.

I should point out it was JavaScript specifically that I like linting for.

This is one of the online versions I have bookmarked for that:L JSLint: The JavaScript Code Quality Tool
