can't browserify file - “Error: Parsing file” (HTML5 checkValidity() ?)

I want to see if I can test form field validation using mocha & chai.

I have the following files:

./src/index.html:

<!doctype html>

<html>

    <head>

        <title>TDD Project</title>

        <style>

            #container {width: 600px; max-width: 100%; margin: 1em auto;}

        </style>

        <link rel="stylesheet" href="../node_modules/mocha/mocha.css">

    </head>

    <body>

        <div id="container">

            <form>

                <input type="text" id="text" placeholder="enter some text" required maxlength="10" pattern="^[a-z,A-Z]{1,10}$"><br />

                <input type="text" id="number" placeholder="enter a number" required maxlength="10" pattern="d{10}"><br />

                <input type="submit">

            </form>

        </div>

        <div id="mocha"></div>

        <script src="../node_modules/mocha/mocha.js"></script>

        <script src="../node_modules/chai/chai.js"></script>

        <script>mocha.setup('bdd')</script>



        <script src="../test/test2.js"></script>



        <script>

          mocha.run();

        </script>        

    </body>

</html>

./test/test.js:

var assert = require("chai").assert;



function FormController() {

    function isValidField(fieldID){

        field = document.getElementById(fieldID);

        return(field.checkValidity() = true ? true : false);

    }

    return {

        isValidField

    }

}



describe("Simple assert", function() {

    it("foo != bar", function() {

        assert('foo' != 'bar', 'foo is not bar');

    });

    it('should return true if field is valid', function(){

        var isValidText = FormController.isValidField(text);

        var isValidNumber = FormController.isValidField(number);

        assert.equal(isValidText, true);

        assert.equal(isValidNumber, true);

    });

})

I have run the commands
> cd test

> browserify test.js > test2.js

I receive the error:

Error: Parsing file /Users/user/Documents/Projects/Contact_Form/test/test.js: Assigning to rvalue (6:15)

The problem appears to be with field.checkValidity() but I don't understand why.

Is it because the file test.js cannot access the DOM?

checkValidity() is a "HTML5 constraint validation API" discussed on this page.

Help appreciated.

From this answer:

You get rvalue error, when you use = instead of == in a condition checking block.
