Is your file indented using tabs?

[luop90]

I'm getting the same error, and yes, indented using tabs.

[fkiefl]

yes the same in my config using indented using tabs

[Arcanemagus]

Okay, this is definitely jshint/jshint#3151 then, please follow that issue for when this will get resolved in JSHint.

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
}

Thanks, a lot for your hint. Since I was changing the editor settings it works well ;-)
