Error: fixture is not a function

lukasoppermann commented 8 years ago

Hey, I don't know what I am doing wrong, but I always get:

Error: fixture is not a function Context. at basic-test.html:20

This is my basic-html.test

<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <script src="../bower_components/webcomponentsjs/webcomponents-lite.js"></script>
    <script src="../bower_components/web-component-tester/browser.js"></script>
    <script src="../dist/material-input.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
       <test-fixture id="fixture">
            <template>
                <material-input value="test"></material-input>
            </template>
        </test-fixture>

    <script>
        suite('<material-input>', function() {
            var el;

            setup(function() {
                el = fixture('fixture');
            });

            // a11ySuite('fixture');

            test('defines the "value" property', function() {
                assert.equal(el.value, 'test');
            });

Using this works fine:

<material-input value="test" id="fixture"></material-input>
el = document.getElementById('fixture');

@rictic any idea what I am doing wrong? I seem to be missing some kind of import? Is this because I am testing vanilla js elements and not importing polymer?

Had the same problem. Apparently you can't name your fixture 'fixture'.

lukasoppermann commented 7 years ago

So how does your test look like?

@brason Thx!

So, I did some investigation and here's why: Elements with an id get automatically a global variable http://2ality.com/2012/08/ids-are-global.html That means when you call it fixture, the variable replaces the fixture() function. I didn't see that coming :D
