happy-dom vs jsdom vitest environment error tests fail with window is not defined

When it applies

Fixes Vitest suites where tests fail with window is not defined after choosing the happy-dom environment. Use when component tests need a DOM but run as if no DOM exists. Not for a test that renders and then fails on a specific missing DOM API.

Instructions

Open the Vitest config and find the test environment setting, noting whether it is set at all and what value it holds.

Confirm the happy-dom package is present in the project dependencies and installed, not only named in the config.

Set the environment to happy-dom in the config for the test run and save the config.

Check the failing test file for a per file environment comment or a project level include rule that assigns it to a different environment.

Run only the one failing test file and read the first error.

Run the full suite once the single file behaves.
