The require is not defined in Chrome Extension












0















I have a Chrome Extension and I want to test a.js.



In chrome, a.js depends on b.js - which is injected before loading a.js.



I am writing some unit tests in Node.JS using mocha. and it requires me to put import or something like const { functions } = require('b.js') at the beginning of a.js. But in chrome, require is not defined.



I put the below at the beginning of a.js but the Chrome extension doesn't work (I can't see errors through)



if (typeof module !== 'undefined'  && typeof module.exports !== 'undefined') {
const { functions } = require('b.js');
}


How to make it work in Chrome and unit tests? for now, I can manually add the require before I npm run test and remove it when packing the Chrome Extension.

          I finally solve this problem by using webpack.




          1. run unit tests using npm run test

          2. deploy using npm run build which calls webpack -p to packs the ES6 classes into something Chrome extension understands.
