Tinytest add a file object not defined

Question

I'm having a problem with TinyTest. I have a test below

Tinytest.add('x - template', function (test) {

    var t = new Widget("ddd");
    test.equal(t.html,"");

});

and this function in another file (test.js)

function Widget(html){
     this.html = html || "";
}

In my package.js :

Package.onTest(function(api) {
   api.use('tinytest');
   api.use('core:widgets');
   api.addFiles('client/test.js');
   api.addFiles('widgets-tests.js');
});

I can run my tests but I get this message :

x
 FAIL
    S: template
   - exception - message Widget is not defined
ReferenceError: Widget is not defined

Thoughts ?

Answer 1

Where are your two files and what are their names? Meteor takes a folder depth + alphabetic order approach to loading javascript files.

Therefore if your Tinytest file is in the same (or any sub) folder as your test.js file, and its filename starts with, say, "h", it will load before test.js and won't know about your Test function.

To make sure your test.js file loads first, you should put it either in a folder in the same folder as your Tinytest file. Or, in a lib folder in any parent folder.
