[ClojureScript Exception/Execution error (ReferenceError)] window is not defined

[WillForan]

locally and within github actions, I get an error re: undefined window.

I suspect this is related to the known issues around linux and an open browser window. But I at least have the browser window open. I think I'm missing something obvious, but have come up empty so far.

The github action is the easiest to point to. It runs chrome in the background and clojure -A:test -M -m kaocha.runner via make test

          export DISPLAY=:0
          Xvfb -ac :0 &
          npm install ws
          chrome --no-first-run &
          make test # JVM will take longer to load than chrome

chrome was at least running at some point, the CI log mentions killing it during clean up

Cleaning up orphan processes Terminate orphan process: pid (1717) (Xvfb) Terminate orphan process: pid (1731) (chrome)

locally I get the same error

clojure -A:test -M -m kaocha.runner --no-capture-output

You're testing via a node repl, the js constant "window" does not exist in node. Make sure you're using a browser-repl in your tests.edn

Ah! Thanks! Added :cljs/repl-env cljs.repl.browser/repl-env and got passed the error ... now onto debugging Kaocha ClojureScript client failed connecting back.
