Use AST traversal for challenge tests involving javascript
See original GitHub issueChallenge Name
e.g. Comparisons with the logical AND operator
Issue Description
Some challenge tests rely on Regular Expressions to make assertions about client-submitted code.
For example, in basic-javascript.json:3389 -
"assert(code.match(/if/g).length === 1, 'message: You should only have one <code>if</code> statement');",
This will match the characters “if” anywhere in the code - in single and multiline comments, strings, variable names etc.
Instead of using Regular Expressions, we should instead parse the Javascript using tools like Esprima and Estraverse.

Yes, this is planned but I don’t want to introduce more tech while we are transitioning to the new site.
Right! I’ll close this and take a look at the curriculum. Cheers 😃
