Are you wondering about the

/*global

comment? I’m using a tool

called

jslint

, which is a syntax-checker for Javascript that’s integra‐

ted into my editor. The comment tells it what global variables are

expected—it’s not important to the code, so don’t worry about it, but

I would recommend taking a look at Javascript linters like

jslint

or

jshint

when you get a moment. They can be very useful for avoid‐

ing JavaScript “gotchas”.

If you open up the file using your web browser (no need to run the dev server, just find

the file on disk) you should see something like

Figure 13-1

.

Looking at the test itself, we’ll find many similarities with the Python tests we’ve been

writing so far:

test

(

"smoke test"

,

function

() {

//

equal

(

1

,

1

,

"Maths works!"

);

//

});
