Invalid position given by 'W117'

JSHint returned a point that did not exist in the document being edited. Rule: W117 Requested point: 5:14

Here's a simplified code where I get this error.

var map, marker;

function initialize(charlie) {
	map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("c"), {
		zoom: zoom
	});
}

This is yet another case of https://github.com/jshint/jshint/issues/3151 as your example code is indented with tabs, 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.

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
}
