As an exercise I decided to create a little vanilla JavaScript game using ES6 syntax that runs in the browser. The program works fine.
I'd like to test it using Jasmine. However, whenever I try to perform an import e.g.
import Deck from "../Deck.js";
Deck.js starts:
export default class Deck {
I get error SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module.
Things I've done:
- Installed node v13.0.1 - I thought this version of node allowed es6 modules.
- Installed jasmine and initialized
node ./node_module/jasmine/bin/jasmine init - Run
node ./node_module/jasmine/bin/jasmine- works fine without imports - Run
node --experimental-modules ./node_module/jasmine/bin/jasmine- doesn't work with imports - Tried require instead of import:
const Deck = require('../Deck.js');-SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'
How do I get jasmine to work with imports? At the moment I cannot include any files to test !
I'm sure I've gone about this the wrong way, but i just want some cmd line tests.
