Default reporter has no output on success

When I run jshint, there is no output. Terminal indicates a 0 exit code, although my pre-commit hooks say it is returning a 1 and suggests I fix the problem before committing. I am using the pre-commit npm module there too with "jshint app.js" and also tried just "jshint".

from the command line (fish shell and bash): jshint --verbose app.js

OSX 10.11.3 I installed node and npm via homebrew. Then installed jshint through npm.
