I'm trying to follow the very short, simple setup instructions at under section "Creating a browser-like BOM/DOM/Window". Unfortunately, after the 3rd line (the .createWindow step), I do console.log(window) and it prints an empty object. There should be at least window.document there, but there isn't. It seems as though document.createWindow is acting the same as jsdom.createWindow.
Here's my code so far:
var jsdom = require('jsdom').jsdom;
document = jsdom("<html><head></head><body>hello world</body></html>");
window = document.createWindow();
console.log(window); // output: {}
console.log(window.document.innerHTML); // error, cannot read innerHTML on undefined
So, what stupid thing am I doing wrong?
FYI document is created correctly. Printing it outputs a very large object.
I am using a Mac.

Reset to default 5var jsdom = require('jsdom').jsdom;
document = jsdom('<!doctype html><html><body>hello jsdom</body></html>');
window = document.createWindow();
console.log(window);
var txt = window.document.body.innerHTML;
console.log(txt);
Problem was due to an installation error with Contextify. I'm used to developing on either Windows or *NIX and on Mac, due to *NIX terminal, assumed I would have things like Make. Problem was solved by installing Xcode with mand line tools, which installs Make among other things, which solved installation error for Contexify, which resolved the overall issue.
