if I use

global.chrome = chrome

typescript gives me error error TS2304: Cannot find name 'global'.

but if I declare global like this

let global = {};
global.chrome = chrome

My tests will fail, because chrome is not defined on the separate file that I am writing tests for.

ok I was able to work around this by doing this

declare var global: any;
global.chrome = chrome

Hi, @Alino .

global is Node.js global object. You should use window object, if you run your tests under browser.
