Awesome, but I'm wondering what is the purpose of import/export then. Why does TC even have that? just curious.

Import/export is part of JavaScript, usuable outside of the TestComplete environment. so, it's not a matter of it being something that TestComplete does but just native to JavaScript.

 

TestComplete includes the //USEUNIT support for those situations where someone has converted a JScript project to JavaScript so that little editing needs to be done.  THAT is part of TestComplete.

 

As mentioned, you CAN use modules.export to export an object...  There's a few different ways you can do that, but, in essence, anything you want available in other units needs to be exported somehow if you're going to go that route.
