Use atom-ternjs without project file

[mrmckeb]

First, great tool. Really useful and a great timesaver.

I'm often working with other devs with completely different setups. I'd like not to be placing a project file in each directory, and wondered if it would be possible to have a 'global project file'? Or is there another way to run tern-js without a project file?

+1, I second this suggestion. I think it's already built into the system though, as shown here, in the readme file. Just no gui.

If a root file named .tern-project is not found ~/.tern-config serves as a default.

I wonder where that is in Windows. I tried everywhere, like the folder %USERPROFILE%, but none of them works.

It does not seem to fallback on tern-config.json for some reason.

This does not enable module loading for example:

However it does if put in a .tern-project file. Am I missing something @tststs?

Thanks!

For what it's worth, I think tern-config.json does not offer the possibility to activate default plugins, but only configure their default behavior. A .tern-project file seems to be mandatory.

@tststs Do you plan to implement a cascading config file mechanism? This could be done pretty quickly with https://github.com/sindresorhus/find-up.

It would be awesome it it would be possible to have a global project file. I'm learning Javascript and I'm making a lot of small "project" and each time I need to set up ternjs.

[jeremy447]

Well it seem that work well

If a root file named .tern-project is not found ~/.tern-config serves as a default.

I still don't get where am I supposed to put the .tern-config file. On atom home directory?
