Fixing clojurescript.test failing with "ReferenceError: Can't find variable: cemerick"
cemerick.cljs.test
) may fail with this confusing exception:ReferenceError: Can't find variable: cemerick
due to couple of reasons:
- Your test namespaces do not require
cemerick.cljs.test
(and thus it is missing from the compiled .js; requiring macros is not enough) - cljsbuild has not included any of your test files (due to wrong setup etc.; this is essentially another form of #1)
- You are trying to test with the node runner but have built with
:optimizations
:none
or:whitespace
(for node you need to concatenate everything into a single file, which only happens if you use:simple
or:advanced
optimizations)
Example failures from all the runners:
