JavaScript NameSpace already declared error

Question

I am loading a script with the jQuery getScript function after the document is ready. The script has these 2 lines:

const myNameSpace={};

function myNameSpace.test() {
}

I am getting this error:

I have used NameSpaces elsewhere in the project in the same way and did not get this error.

You can't use a property name in a function declaration. The parameter has to be a single identifier.

You can write

myNameSpace.test = function() { };

or put the function definition directly in the object literal

const myNameSpace = {
    test() { }
}
