How to just intercept a few require calls. #56

Closed wuyiqun0718 closed 7 years ago

Hi all, I'm very new to unit testing, and I'm trying to get familiar with these mock libraries.

I tried to not use the enable function when setup and only do registerMock for some packages, but it's not working for me. I'm guessing the enable function is a must, so is there anyway to just register mock for some module instead of intercepting all of them? I also tried rewire, but apparently it can't intercept any require calls.

I don't quite follow.. When you call mockery.enable() it will then mock only the modules that are set with mockery.registerMock. It doesn't mock everything, only what is sent to that method.

OK, I got too many require calls in my file. I tried different ways to mock them and it kept giving me different errors. So I thought it's because I didn't mock some packages. And since I got the confirmation from you, I just tried to modify my mock module again and it worked! Apparently I don't need to pass parameters to my mock functions when do registerMock.

Please close this, thank you for the answer!
