Brackets: JSLint not working: 'alert' was used before it was defined. alert(date);

Created on 23 Aug 2016 · 3Comments · Source: adobe/brackets

The JSLint thinks that when I use the alert("Your Text Here"); script, I am using a function. Please fix ASAP
All I did was put an alert(); script in the javascript file and I got an error.
I expected it to run an alert.
I get the error in JSLint: "'alert' was used before it was defined. alert(date);"
Brackets version: Latest
OS version: Windows 7 Premium
I've tested without extensions
No Console errors.

As @vvks pointed out, devel: true is the way to go

Assume in development

devel

true if browser globals that are useful in development should be predefined, and if debugger > statements and TODO comments should be allowed. It adds the same globals as this directive:
/*global
alert, confirm, console, Debug, opera, prompt, WSH
*/
Be sure to turn this option off before going into production.

Closing as answered.
