I am adding a listener like so:

    window.addEventListener('native.showkeyboard', function (e) {

        ...

        ...

    });

I'm writing a unit test for this so I want to trigger the event. Im doing:

    window.trigger('native.showkeyboard');

But I end up with an error for that line saying:

    undefined is not a function

How can I manually trigger this event?

EDIT

I have also tried:

  $(window).trigger('native.showkeyboard');

but the handler doesnt run with this as it's not registered with jquery...

If you are triggering the event via jQuery then the event ought to have been attached via jQuery -- see @fredericHamidi's comment.

$(window).on('native.showkeyboard', function (e) {

    .........

});



$(window).trigger('native.showkeyboard');

Or if you're using plain vanilla JS do it this way:

window.addEventListener('native.showkeyboard', function (e) {

    ........

});



window.dispatchEvent( new Event('native.showkeyboard') );
