XMLHttpRequest not found.

Running mocha 2.1.0 on node 0.10.30 with the following command:

@NODE_PATH=./lib:./test/client mocha -u bdd -R dot -c --compilers js:mocha-traceur --recursive test/client

is returning

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/mocha-traceur/node_modules/traceur-runner/node_modules/traceur-source-maps/node_modules/source-map-support/source-map-support.js:60 var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); ^ ReferenceError: XMLHttpRequest is not defined make: *** [client] Error 7

You should never use NODE_PATH, it will cause problems.

[jperkelens]

Can you elaborate? I haven't read anything that warns against using NODE_PATH, and some very important node contributors have advocated for its use.

[domenic]

tj is not a contributor to Node. It is an undocumented API that mucks with the fundamentals of how files are required.

If you can produce a repro without using this problematic feature we can re-focus the conversation on mocha-traceur, i.e. the repo for which this is the issue tracker.
