.jshintrc has no effect?

[ok11]

Hi all,

I'm trying to suppress the messages like "'let' is available in ES6...". I placed the following content in .jshintrc in the project root (near .project):

{
  "esversion": 6,
  "node": true
}

This is then visible in the project settings under JSHint->Configuration.
Still, neither this, nor placing the same content in global preferences, does not switch off the warning.
The only thing that helps, is adding the JSHint comment (/* jshint esversion: 6 */) in each and every file, which does not scale for a large project.

Am I missing something in my setup?

Thanks in advance.

After struggling with this myself, you have to turn on Project Configuration. Under the Project Properties, Select JSHint | Configuration, then tick "Enable project specific configuration".
