11.2.1.2 Making the Test Pass
Fear not! Failure is actually a good thing: It tells us where to focus our efforts.
The first serious problem is that
tddjs.util
doesn't exist. Listing 11.5 adds
the object using the
tddjs.namespace
method. Save the listing in
src/
observable.js
.
Listing 11.5
Creating the
util
namespace
tddjs.namespace("util");
Running the tests again yields a new error, as seen in Listing 11.6.

tddjs.util.Observable is not a constructor
()@http://localhost:4224/.../observable_test.js:5
Listing 11.7 fixes this new issue by adding an empty
Observable
constructor.
Listing 11.7
Adding the constructor
(function () {
function Observable() {
}
tddjs.util.Observable = Observable;
}());
To work around the issues with named function expressions discussed in
Chapter 5,
Functions,
the constructor is defined using a function declaration in-
side an immediately called closure. Running the test once again brings us directly
to the next problem, seen in Listing 11.8.
