Cannot pass tests when using webkitSpeechRecognition

Question

I am using google's api webkitSpeechRecognition and because this is a chrome browser only api, when I run tests on my application it fails because it cannot find the webkitSpeechRecognition variable. When I run the tests on chrome they pass fine, but when I run them in the terminal it fails because of this. I am trying to make a build for the application but this problem is not letting me do so.

Anyone has any experience in this? Or have any suggestions?

You can add simple javascript test to see if feature is available and perform accordingly. Something like this:

 if (!('webkitSpeechRecognition' in window)) {  
     // run specific features
 }

You can also use Modernizr to use browser-specific features conditionally. See also W3C wiki about it.
