unit testing with webpack #895

Open HtaSophia opened 5 years ago

I did update tns to version 5.4 and I tried to run the test with the project created by nativescript cli. However, karma did not work in the browser.

The following error appears: global is not defined.

I tried the commands: npm i nativescript-dev-webpack@latest --save-dev

./node_modules/.bin/update-ns-webpack --deps --configs

Versions: "karma": "4.1.0", "karma-chrome-launcher": "^2.2.0", "karma-jasmine": "2.0.1", "karma-nativescript-launcher": "0.4.0", "karma-webpack": "3.0.5", "nativescript-dev-typescript": "~0.9.0", "nativescript-dev-webpack": "^0.22.0"

In the webpack.config: output: { pathinfo: false, path: dist, sourceMapFilename, libraryTarget: "commonjs2", filename: "[name].js", globalObject: "global", hashSalt }

@HtaSophia,

NativeScript CLI runs unit tests on device or emulator, not in browser. Karma supports a mode to run outside a browser in a JavaScript-only environment and that is what NativeScript CLI do.

Just execute

tns test ios

This will start an emulator if there aren't connected devices, run the tests on emulator/device and report back the results. No need from additional actions in order to see the results from tests.

I was already running the tests correctly and it works. However, I think the karma have more meaningful output on browser like the task's names and his result.

The output of the tests in the terminal is very limited.
