ember test to no run jshint - ember.js

Question

I would like to run "ember test" without JShint. My ultimate goal is to set run jshint in development environment and not run it in production build.
I first started to turn off the option in Brocfile.js
http://discuss.emberjs.com/t/disable-ember-cli-hinting/6731/2
var app = new EmberApp({
hinting: false
});
It worked, so I decided to try
var EmberApp = require('ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app'),
isProduction = ( process.env.EMBER_ENV || 'development' ) === 'production';
if( isProduction ){
app.hinting = false;
}
Then I realize the process.env.EMBER_ENV, doesn't seem to work. But little did I know I was probably running the wrong command.
ember test
The command didn't specify any environment, so I tried
ember test --environment=production
ember test --environment production
which result in an exception:
Build failed.
Path or pattern "test-loader.js" did not match any files
Error: Path or pattern "test-loader.js" did not match any files
at Object.multiGlob (.../node_modules/ember-cli/node_modules/broccoli-kitchen-sink-helpers/index.js:202:13)
Next, I try to read node_modules/ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app.js, I see:
var isProduction = this.env === 'production';
this.tests = options.hasOwnProperty('tests') ? options.tests : !isProduction;
this.hinting = options.hasOwnProperty('hinting') ? options.hinting : !isProduction;
But I don't really know how this.env get pass in the ember test and I can't get the environment within the Brocfil.js. I am assuming by default, hinting would respect the isProduction value if it isn't defined.
And searching further more, got me to https://github.com/rwjblue/ember-cli-test-loader, which seems to be related.
My questions are:
1. Is there a way to run ember test without jshint via CLI?
2. Can this be set using config/environment.js?
3. Can I set a breakpoint to debug the Brocfile.js file? I tried with chrome:localhost:4200, I don't any node_modules file being loaded.
Thanks in advance. I am an extreme newbie to javascript and ember..

Answer 1

try
ember test --query=nolint
the latest ember-cli-qunit uses this query param to disable lint checks in tests
here is the commit where it was added if you are interested
