How to test browser code under Deno

[David-Else]

deno test --config ./tsconfig.json --watch --allow-all --no-check test/ (or without --no-check) returns:

error: Uncaught ReferenceError: document is not defined
const elem = document.getElementById("test") as HTMLElement;
             ^

tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "esnext",
    "lib": ["dom", "dom.iterable", "dom.asynciterable", "deno.ns"]
  }
}

main.ts

const elem = document.getElementById("test") as HTMLElement;

The LSP picks up my tsconfig.json fine and accepts document when use config = "./tsconfig.json", and test is reading the file as it says:

Unsupported compiler options in "/home/david/Documents/apps-sites/typeScript/dependency-heaven-
typescript/tsconfig.json".
  The following options were ignored:
    target

I have a test repo here to show the problem: https://github.com/David-Else/dependency-heaven-typescript

That's a runtime error, which is why it's happening even with --no-check.

@nayeemrmn It happens without --no-check:

deno test --config ./tsconfig.json --watch --allow-all test/
Check file:///home/david/Documents/apps-sites/typeScript/dependency-heaven-typescript/test/mo
d_test.ts
Unsupported compiler options in "/home/david/Documents/apps-sites/typeScript/dependency-heave
n-typescript/tsconfig.json".
  The following options were ignored:
    target
Check file:///home/david/Documents/apps-sites/typeScript/dependency-heaven-typescript/test/mo
d_test.ts
Unsupported compiler options in "/home/david/Documents/apps-sites/typeScript/dependency-heave
n-typescript/tsconfig.json".
  The following options were ignored:
    target

test result: ok. 0 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out (1497ms)

error: Uncaught ReferenceError: document is not defined
const elem = document.getElementById("test") as HTMLElement;
             ^

Yes, because it's a runtime error. There is no document global in Deno. The "dom" lib to bypass the type-checking error isn't going to change that. What's your expected behaviour?

Sorry, I am struggling a bit. I would like to test my browser code using Deno, is there any information available on how this is done?

I have found import jsdom from "https://cdn.skypack.dev/jsdom";, and https://github.com/b-fuze/deno-dom ... is there any guide I could follow or best practice? Not sure where to start. Thanks!

Tangental, but I'm releasing a complementary toolchain soon which shims the Deno test harness and runs the tests in browsers.

Is there some news for Deno 2.0? I want to use happy-dom with deno
