Doesn’t read commonmark when included in unit testing #253
Description
I create a util function that uses commonmark to convert markdown to HTML. And then I tried to write a test case for that function, it throws error saying that commonmark is not defined.
Here is my code:
markdown.test.js
const {markdownToHtml} = require('../../services/util/markdown');
const assert = require('assert');
describe('Commonmark plugin', () => {
it('normal text returns HTML string', () => {
assert.strictEqual(markdownToHtml('Hello world').toBe('<p>Hello world</p>\n'));
});
});
markdown.js
const markdownToHtml = (text) => {
const reader = new commonmark.Parser();
const writer = new commonmark.HtmlRenderer({safe: true});
const parsed = reader.parse(text); // parsed is a 'Node' tree
// transform parsed if you like...
const result = writer.render(parsed); // result is a String
return result;
};
module.exports = {markdownToHtml};
I get the following error when I run the test:
ReferenceError: commonmark is not defined

You'll need something like
var commonmark = require('commonmark').
