I am using below command

mocha --compilers :./test/babel-setup.js --recursive --watch

giving below error:

ReferenceError: window is not defined

in babel-setup.js below code is there.

require("babel/register")({
compact: false
});

i am using node 0.12.7 and "mocha": "^2.2.5" and "jsdom": "^3.1.2". am i missing sonething?

Hey jit,

My guess is that your test setup or code is expecting a browser environment, and If that’s true, I’d try to look into Phantomjs.
