Troubleshooting
Running into a problem? Maybe this will help ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Troubleshooting issues
This guide doesn't contain the issue I ran into
If you run into a Frontend development issue that is not in this guide, please consider updating this guide with your issue and possible remedies. This way future adventurers can face these dragons with more success, being armed with your experience and knowledge.
Testing issues
Property or method `nodeType` is not defined
but I'm not using nodeType
anywhere
This issue can happen in Vue component tests, when an expectation fails, but there is an error thrown when
Jest tries to pretty print the diff in the console. It's been noted that using toEqual
with an array as a
property might also be a contributing factor.
See this video for an in-depth overview and investigation.
Remedy - Try cloning the object that has Vue watchers
- expect(wrapper.find(ChildComponent).props()).toEqual(...);
+ expect(cloneDeep(wrapper.find(ChildComponent).props())).toEqual(...)
Remedy - Try using toMatchObject
instead of toEqual
- expect(wrapper.find(ChildComponent).props()).toEqual(...);
+ expect(wrapper.find(ChildComponent).props()).toMatchObject(...);
Please note that toMatchObject
actually changes the nature of the assertion and won't fail if some items are missing from the expectation.
Script issues
core-js
errors when running scripts within the GitLab repository
The following command assumes you've set up the GitLab repository in the
~/workspace/gdk
directory. When running scripts within the GitLab repository,
such as code transformations, you might run into issues with core-js
like this:
~/workspace/gdk/gitlab/node_modules/core-js/modules/es.global-this.js:7
$({
^
TypeError: $ is not a function
at Object.<anonymous> (~/workspace/gdk/gitlab/node_modules/core-js/modules/es.global-this.js:6:1)

at require (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:88:18)
at Object.<anonymous> (~/workspace/gdk/gitlab/node_modules/core-js/modules/esnext.global-this.js:2:1)
Remedy - Try moving the script into a separate repository and point to it to files in the GitLab repository
