JTD says "Object not defined", but it is defined, in another file that should be loaded

[David Karr]

Java 6, Maven 3.0.5, jsTestDriver Maven plugin 1.3.5.1.

I'm trying to use jsTestDriver for the first time.  I got through some minor obstacles with the jsTestDriver Maven plugin, and now I appear to be hitting a problem with jsTestDriver itself.

I have a small app that currently works fine.  I ran JSLint on it, and got nothing but WARNING lines.

The following is my "jsTestDriver.conf" file:

server: http://localhost:9876

load:
 - src/main/webapp/js/*.js
 - src/main/webapp/js/libs/*.js
 - src/main/webapp/js/profiling/*.js
 - src/main/webapp/js/mylibs/*.js

test:
 - src/test/webapp/js/*.js

The following is an excerpt from the log:

[ERROR] error loading file: /test/src/main/webapp/js/mylibs/controller.daily.js:1: Uncaught ReferenceError: Controller is not defined

This is the top of "controller.daily.js":

Controller.Daily = {
    _isInitialized: false,    

This is the top of "mylibs/controller.js" (note that it's covered by the "*.js" in the conf file), which defines the "Controller" object:

var Controller = {
   

Remember that the app is working fine, so there aren't any syntax errors, at least none that the code is hitting.

I tried changing the "conf" file to manually specify the "mylibs/controller.js" before the load of "mylibs/*.js", but that had no effect.

[Cory Smith]

From the look of it, mylibs/controller.js is never loaded. What does the revised conf look like?

You mean the change that had no effect?  Here it is, if it matters:

server: http://localhost:9876

load:
 - src/main/webapp/js/*.js
 - src/main/webapp/js/libs/*.js

 - src/main/webapp/js/mylibs/controller.js

[Nathan Redding]

I've been trying to recreate the issue by having a file named controller.daily.js depend on a file named controller.js. With default alphabetical wildcard loading, I get the same error, but when I add the controller.js explicitly before the wildcard, the problem goes away for me.

[David Karr]

I'm now trying completely avoiding globbing in that directory, and just listing all the files, in order, that it should load.  It doesn't appear to make a difference.

The following is my current conf file:

server: http://localhost:9876

load:
 - src/main/webapp/js/*.js
 - src/main/webapp/js/libs/*.js
 - src/main/webapp/js/profiling/*.js

 - src/main/webapp/js/mylibs/config.js
 - src/main/webapp/js/mylibs/controller.js
 - src/main/webapp/js/mylibs/controller.daily.js
 - src/main/webapp/js/mylibs/controller.daily.rate-table.js
 - src/main/webapp/js/mylibs/controller.realtime.subway-map.js
 - src/main/webapp/js/mylibs/data.daily.js
 - src/main/webapp/js/mylibs/html.daily.js
 - src/main/webapp/js/mylibs/html.realtime.matrix-view.js
 
test:
 - src/test/webapp/js/*.js

 It sure doesn't appear to be processing those files in the order they're listed in the conf file.

[Nathan Redding]

Just to eliminate the obvious, it looks like JSTD is loading the config file located at: C:\Users\dk068x\workspace6\SunlightGUI\src\test\resources\jsTestDriver.conf

That is the config file with the explicit listing of files in the order shown above, right?

If you have verified that, would it be possible to create a minimal example project that still exhibits the problem and send it to us?

[David Karr]

Yes, that is the file with that config.

I've tried to construct a zip here with the html files and some other extraneous files removed.  I verified that "mvn install" still fails in the same way.

[David Karr]

It sure seems to me that it's not processing these files to load in the order specified in the conf file.  I turned on runnermode DEBUG and I searched in the output for both "controller.daily.js" and "controller.js", and in each set of output that appears to be doing something to all of the files, it always processes the former before the latter.

Aha - It would seem the globing is recursive. So, your first line which loads src/main/webapp/js/*.js is actually going through the directories in alphabetical order and causing the .js files in each to load in alphabetical order. I replaced this first line with src/main/webapp/js/plugins.js since that is the only file in the root directory. After doing that, it starts to load them in the order you listed. 

It looks like there is yet a different problem after this, however, as src/main/webapp/js/profiling/config.js is looking for an object named YAHOO.

Hope that helps!

[Cory Smith]

Looks like '*' is a little to greedy.

I've concluded that relying on globbing at all is a bad idea.  I got this working by meticulously determining a good enough load order that got through all the required declarations until the test code was able to run (and finally pass), without any globbing at all.
 

[Nathan Redding]

Yeah, generally, you just want to list the files in the same manner your page does. On my last project, I created a Maven plugin that understood our project directory structure and generated the JSTD config file as part of the build.... it worked very well, especially since it was a very large project with a ton of files that would change in number weekly.
