Using localStorage and sessionStorage

[tomprats]

I just ran into an issue where a library I'm using uses sessionStorage, so I'm getting sessionStorage is not defined in my tests. Is there any plan to support these types of storages in jsdom-global?

After some research I noticed there is a PR in jsdom that's pretty related. Would jsdom-global then just need to put them in the global scope like it does document and window?

It seems there is no way to send the required url parameter into jsdom allowing mocha tests to use localstorage. This has been a hard requirement since jsdom v11.12.0 (6 months now)

Can we get an update on this?

Edit: Minimal test case reproduction in Mocha. We should have some mechanism to set url config so the following passes:

mocha --exit --require ts-node/register --require jsdom-global/register ./app/test/*.ts

  @test public async sessionStorate() {
    try {
      if(window && window.localStorage) {
        //have storage
        assert.ok("does not break control flow");
      } else {
        //doesnt have storage
        assert.ok("does not break control flow");
      }
    } catch {
      assert.fail("breaks control flow");
    }
  }

Probably not relevant anymore with more recent versions
