demo of this working in the browser with node?

[NullVoxPopuli]

I tried qunitx a couple times, and haven't been able to get anything to work. Is there a sample repo that demonstrates this working in the browser uning node as the launching environment?

Thanks!

This issue is qunitx-cli related. Yes it works if you use the latest node.js version with support for ---loader flag, have chromium or chrome browser with CHROME_BIN environment variable on your $PATH, also you need to have ts-node globally installed for it to dynamically resolve the global dependency/transpiler, but currently there is no statically compiled binary distribution for qunitx-cli.

I'm currently improving the test suite for qunitx-cli, then will see how to distribute it as a statically compiled binary in nixpkgs repository as this is not an easy or commonly done thing especially for TypeScript projects written in node.js yet.

Closing this issue here, let me know if you'd like it to be reopened.

I've opened an issue here, as I cannot get qunitx working at all: izelnakri/qunitx-cli#7, so a demo repo would go a long way.

, also you need to have ts-node globally installed for it to dynamically resolve the global dependency/transpiler,

This is likely my problem, but this is also pretty bad DX, imo -- I do not install global tools, aside from pnpm.
ts-node should be a dependency of the CLI. Otherwise, how could you guarantee that the cli works for all versions of ts-node?

last time I tried the ts-node dependency could not be reliably referenced locally even if you include it as a dependency of the package because of the way it runs now, however as I mentioned, ts-node might not be needed anymore.
