I understand module.export and require mannner:

Requiring external js file for mocha testing

Although it's pretty usable as long as it's a module, I feel this manner is inconvenient since what I intends to do now is to test a code in a file.

For instance, I have a code in a file:

app.js

'use strict';

console.log('app.js is running');

var INFINITY = 'INFINITY';

and now, I want to test this code in a file:

test.js

var expect = require('chai').expect;



require('./app.js');





    describe('INFINITY', function()

    {

        it('INFINITY === INFINITY',

            function()

            {

                expect(INFINITY)

                    .to.equal('INFINITY');

            });

    });

The test code executes app.js, so the output is;

app.js is running

then

ReferenceError: INFINITY is not defined

This is not what I expected.

I do not want to use module.export and to write like

var app = require('./app.js');

and

app.INFINITY and app.anyOtherValue for every line in the test code.

There must be a smart way. Could you tell me?

Thanks.
