I've been using gjslint to verify that my JavaScript code is valid before sending it to my servers. Very practical.

In older versions (16.04, 18.04), it was found in the closure-linter package.

In newer versions (20.04), it was moved to the closure-compiler package (the closure-linter was removed/renamed).

In 21.04, it seems to be gone. I have closure-compiler installed and I can see gjs and gjs-console, but no gjslint.

Is there a way to use gjs as a linter only? Or is the linter hidden somewhere else?

Note: I ran apt-file find gjslint and it came up empty handed.

You have already found many parts of the puzzle.

Below are last bricks. Source package for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS mentions project page - https://developers.google.com/closure/utilities/ .

It has the following:

Closure Linter is deprecated
[...]
For teams using the Closure tools, we recommend they use the new linter based on the Closure Compiler instead. You can do this by passing --jscomp_warning=lintChecks to the compiler, or building the standalone linter binary; see the Closure Compiler wiki for details. The rest of the information on this page will be kept up for a while, for teams who are still using Closure Linter.
