Error: jQuery requires a window with a document

Question

So everything was working just fine and great until doing npm update and now things do not work quite as they used to.

A little background: in my code I use jquery

Answer 1

You can try the following with these version settings in your package.json:

"jquery": "^2.1.1",
"jsdom": "^1.0.0-pre.3"

Say you have a file called page.htm:

    
    


    
Html page
    

        
left content
    

Then, you can read from file, create a DOM and window from it with JSDOM and pass it to jquery:

var jsdom = require("jsdom").jsdom;
var fs = require('fs');
fs.readFile('page.htm', {encoding: "utf8"}, function (err, markup) {
  if (err) throw err;
  var doc = jsdom(markup);
  var window = doc.parentWindow;
  var $ = require('jquery')(window)
  var outerLeft = $(".left").clone().wrap('
').parent().html();
  var innerLeft = $(".left").html();
  console.log(outerLeft, "and ...", innerLeft);
});

will output:

left content
 and ... 
left content
