example showing difficulties in mocking modules with esm loader
the master branch is the baseline. running npm run test
works as expected.
the first iteration is the branch esm-module
. The test breaks because of esm issues within tap.
The internet suggests that this will be resolved in the next tap
version, v15. For now the --no-esm
parameter should help.
So the second intertion here is branch no-esm
. While --no-esm
fixes our previous issue, we get a new one:
Apparently sinon cannot mock dependencies in esm modules, because esm imports are immutable. Again, the internet has suggestions to help: try a link seam. rewiremock
is one link-seam capable mock loader so let's try in branch rewiremock
Unfortunately rewiremock won't load though
