Question

I just started using jsTestDriver and I really like it, but all of a sudden, I just started getting a very weird error and I m not sure what the heck I did to create it. Actually, if I try and run a basic Greeter test, the same problem happens.

Here s an example of one of my javascript files/classes under test:

myapp = myapp || {};

myapp.Module = function() {
    ...
};

All of the classes follow this pattern.

My test classes generally look like this (I ll give a really simple one):

ModuleTest = TestCase("ModuleTest");

ModuleTest.prototype.testInit = function() {
    var module = new myapp.Module(); // <---- it bombs here, on every test!

    assertFalse(module.isStarted);

    module.init();

    assertTrue(module.isStarted);
};

It bombs when it gets to "new myapp.Module()". Here is the error message that is given about 30 times for all my tests:

myapp is not defined
/src/test/webapp/js/ModuleTest.js:4

Here is my configuration file:

server: http://localhost:9876

load:
  - src/main/webapp/js/jquery/*.js
  - src/main/webapp/js/*.js
  - src/test/webapp/js/*.js

Does anyone have any idea what the heck is wrong? Sometimes when I run all the tests in IDEA, my IDE just hangs altogether or takes like many minutes for jsTestDriver to finally report the above results...

I faced the same issue after I moved to v.1.3.1. In my case the problem was with file encoding. I use Visual Studio for the development, it adds byte order mark (3 extra bytes) in the beginning of the file. It s possible to see these bytes in Far manager. If you use VS try to save the file as the following: "File->Advanced save options->" Encoding: Unicode (UTF-8 without signature) - Codepage 65001. It should fix your problem.
