I'm trying to test code that uses `kotlin.browser....

# javascript

I'm trying to test code that uses kotlin.browser.window.setInterval
I get the following error:
ReferenceError: window is not defined

I thought I was only targeting browser

js("browser") {
        browser {}
    }

and that those tests are executed by karma in chrome. Am I wrong? Is there more to only targeting browsers and getting the tests to run in the headless browser?

Kotlin 1.3.72 ?

[turansky]

Do you have dependency on stdlib-js ?

[Justin Shapiro]

yes to both

[turansky]

And kotlin("test-js") in test dependencies?

[Justin Shapiro]

yeah that one too

[turansky]

Do you use static import for setInterval?

[Justin Shapiro]

no

[turansky]

// Try 
js {
    browser ()
}

// instead of
js("browser") {
    browser {}
}

[Justin Shapiro]

oh hey that's different. at least it looks like that is actually running in chrome. new error Error: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier (<http://localhost:9876/context.html:1>)

[turansky]

CI or local run?

[Justin Shapiro]

local

[turansky]

Clean run required

[turansky]

Usually previous fails corrupt next runs

[turansky]

./gradlew clean
./gradlew --stop

hmm still getting that error but it's only for a few tests that I'll have to debug. thanks for the help. much appreciated.
