Hi! A big #question for #webdev

// Context: a #Tauri application written in plain #JavaScript.

I used the #DOMParser to read an HTML file and display it as #Markdown.
For unit testing, I use #MochaJs, and I wanted to run the tests in the command line interface (CLI) with #nodejs.
However, Node.js does not have the DOMParser library. :/

I then used jsdom to develop the function in a behaviour-driven development style, but this cannot be run in a browser.

I now realise that trying to test this functionality in this way is not a good idea.

What can I use instead? ??

You're welcome to #boost or ask for clarifications. :)

#JavaScript, such a lovely programming environment

Writing some unit tests for a **browser** app which must parse historic XML (WebDAV result) I stumble upon

ReferenceError: DOMParser is not defined

It would be no problem in the browser itself, but the tests were supposed to run without browser. And node has no DOMParser, I just learned.

No problem, jsdom seems to be the library to go with. But then: https://npm.anvaka.com/#/view/2d/jsdom

45 dependencies😱
