Include jQuery in intern test

Question

How can I test custom JavaScript app (including jQuery as a dependency)? I have tried jQuery as Node package with no success...

Do I need to define it somehow in the test suite dependencies? I tried this:

define([
    'intern!bdd',
    'intern/chai!expect',
    'node-jquery'
], ...

You’re on the right track. If you are trying to load and test arbitrary JavaScript, you just do so like this:

define([
  'intern!bdd',
  'intern/chai!expect',
  'libs/jquery.js',
  'app/foo.js',
  'app/bar.js'
], function (bdd, expect) {
  bdd.describe('my test', function () {
    bdd.it('should find foos on the page', function () {
      expect(jQuery('.foo')).to.have.length.of.at.least(2);
    });
  });

  // access other global variables here
});
