通过实习生对浏览器CommonJS模块进行单元测试

Question

Writing modules that will be loaded int the browser with browserify. I'm attempting to use the dojo/node plugin for unit testing the modules, but it doesn't work correctly when trying to load unit tests. Would I have to wrap modules that need unit testing (ie, browserify them before load), or is there a workaround?

Spec:

define([
    'intern!object',
    'intern/chai!assert',
    'require',
    // common css selectors
    'intern/dojo/node!app/selectors'
], function (
    registerSuite,
    assert,
    require,
    SEL
) {

    registerSuite({

        name: 'Selectors Unit test',

        'it is an object': function() {
            assert.ok(typeof SEL === 'object',
                      'Selectors is an object');
        }

    });

});

Module:

module.exports = {

    FOO : { _SELF: '#someId }

};

Running via browser at http://localhost/node_modules/intern/client.html?config=tests/intern

The error given is Uncaught Error: Cannot find the Node.js require

Does the Dojo plugin work in a browser environment?

Answer 1

No, dojo/node will not work in a browser. As the documentation points out,

dojo/node simply accesses the native require() function of node, passing the plugin argument as the parameter.
