incredibly slow with many files

[bounceme]

can the file globbing be constrained to only required files, or made to not recurse search through folders?

[bounceme]

why not just use whatever is loaded by tern as that info is available

How to use tern-lint? With an editor? With line command? tern-lint

• validates a given file
• validates the the full files of tern server like you have suggested http://ternjs.net/doc/manual.html#req_files

In tern.java (Eclipse), it uses the first (validates a given file" and it uses tern script path to know if file must be validated or not. If you use tern.java, you must exclude node_modules folder with yoru JSDT Install Path.

i'm using the vim integration provided by syntastic vim-syntastic/syntastic@5462fdd
this was just made a few hours ago, would you be able to make any suggestions on that commit?

[bounceme]

really, i think the easiest option is using an environment variable or arg to exclude folders, is this already implemented? or is there another way?

[angelozerr]

It seems that you are using tern-lint command https://github.com/angelozerr/tern-lint/blob/master/bin/lint is that?

If it that, try to create a .tern-project with loadEagerly like described in the tern manual.

[bounceme]

why is loadEagerly needed? tern can resolve require statements and parse necessary files that way

[bounceme]

could this be run on a file rather than a directory?

[bounceme]

would you consider adding this to the default config, or something similar?

    "dontLoad": [
        "+(node_modules|bower_components|min)/**/*.js"
    ],

[angelozerr]

You have the same config than .tern-project. So you can use dontLoad too. I want to have the same behaviour than ternjs, so if ternjs doesn't add this default config, I don't want to add it.

[bounceme]

then using tern for autocomplete wouldn't work, but anyways the method of using load eagerly seems less effective than terns ability to find dependencies

[angelozerr]

then using tern for autocomplete wouldn't work,

My idea is to have the same scope for automplete and lint.

[bounceme]

hey, i'll probably create a p.r. touching this function, to allow for a filename to be used, which will be the only file initially loaded with the server,would you accept something like this?

[angelozerr]

I have given you an answer. I think it's a bad idea to use tern-lint command. I think you should use "lint" query (as "completion" query).
