How to open JSHINTRC file?

The main problem with JSHint Data Format is that the JSHINTRC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open JSHINTRC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JSHINTRC file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install JSHint

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that JSHint is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name JSHint into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file JSHINTRC with JSHint. Below is a list of programs that support the file JSHINTRC.

Programs to open JSHINTRC file

Remember to download programs supporting JSHINTRC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of JSHint with JSHINTRC files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the JSHINTRC file still does not use the JSHint program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the JSHint application as the default for handling the JSHINTRC file.

Step 3. Update JSHint to the latest version

If, however, after binding JSHint with JSHint Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Anton Kovalyov website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JSHINTRC file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the JSHINTRC file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our JSHINTRC file. Sometimes virus-infected JSHINTRC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the JSHINTRC files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JSHINTRC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JSHINTRC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move JSHINTRC to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JSHINTRC file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
