Variable reference from external script in jsdom

Below is the minimal example of jsdom code which uses the script parameter. Despite of all the attempts trying to find out a way to refer to the external JSs, I keep getting this

ReferenceError: exVar is not defined

Does anyone know what is the problem here and how to fix it?

stackOverTest.js

var jsdom = require("jsdom");

jsdom.env({
    "html": "<html><body></body></html>",
    scripts: [__dirname + "exScript.js"],
    done: function(er, win) {
    console.log("exVar: ", exVar);
    }
});

exScript.js 

var exVar = "test";
Solution

  • You need use win scope: console.log("exVar: ", win.exVar); and __dirname + "/exScript.js"
