Is your code indented by tabs?

[lukidoescode]

Mine is. I got the same error. I like tabs better because everybody can have it her/his way with them. IMHO tabs are cleaner.

Thanks for the confirmation @m3t4lukas.

This is almost certainly another case of jshint/jshint#3151. 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
}

If anyone is directed here and isn't using tabs to indent please provide code to reproduce this so an issue can be filed on JSHint to get this fixed there.
