How to use jQuery with jsdom@5?
I am migrating from node.js to io.js and my old node.js code does not work with jsdom@5.
var jsdom=require('jsdom');
var $=require('jquery')(jsdom.jsdom().createWindow);
Here is the error:
/tmp/iojs/node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js:28
if ( !w.document ) {
^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'document' of undefined
at module.exports (/tmp/iojs/node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js:28:12)

I am using latest io.js v2.0.1, [email protected] and [email protected].
What is the right way to use jQuery with jsdom@5?
Answer
The following is more in-line with what you are trying to do. Check out the repo
// using Version 5.4.1
var jsdom = require('jsdom').jsdom;
var document = jsdom('<html></html>', {});
var window = document.defaultView;
var $ = require('jquery')(window);
The concrete problem with your original code is that it uses the createWindow API, which was removed in jsdom 1.0.0-pre.1. (Note that the document.parentWindow suggested in that change log entry was then itself removed in 4.0.0.)
