multiple instances of mocked objects

[ghost]

Hi,
When I was trying out ts-mockito I noticed that the instance() method does not create different instances of the mocked Class.

For example I have a class User with a field id. When creating two mocked objects:

let mockedUser = mock(User);
let user1 = instance(mockedUser);
let user2 = instance(mockedUser);
if(user1.id === user2.id)
  return true;
else return false;

This code yields true. Am I using the instance method in the wrong way?

instance() is a kind of getter for the instance object corresponding with the provided mock object. If you would like to get two mocks of the same class, just call mock() twice.

Hi @bjverhoe, as @michalstocki mentioned instance() method gets instance from specific mock. Because all behaviors are defined for mock, you should get one instance per one mock.

let mockedUser1 = mock(User);
let mockedUser2 = mock(User); // create second mock
let user1 = instance(mockedUser1);
let user2 = instance(mockedUser2);
if(user1.id === user2.id)
  return true;
else
  return false;

Please reopen issue if something is still wrong.
