Doesn't seem to be overriding require?

[rizowski]

I am not sure what is going on but I have been trying multiple mocking/require hijacking libraries to see if I can mock some of my dependencies. I like proxyquire but the problem being proxyquire doesn't seem to be giving me my mocked objects.

// item.js
var parser = require('./parser');

module.exports = {
  someFunctionThatUsesParser: function(){ ... };
}

// item-spec.js
var proxy = require("proxyquire"),
  item;
//jasmine before each
beforeEach(function(){
  var mock = {
    'parser' : {
      myMockedFunction: function(){ ... }
    }
  };
  item = proxy("../src/item", mock);
});
// tests below

Folder structure is:

project/
  |- src/
  |--- item.js
  |--- parser.js
  |- spec/
  |--- item-spec.js

Is that not the way this is supposed to be set up? I have checked to see if the parser object that item uses vs what I have mocked are the same object and they are not. Any Ideas?

The keys in the proxyquire call's second arg need to match the requires in your source code.

var mock = {
    './parser' : {
      myMockedFunction: function(){ ... }
    }
  };

This really needs to be mentioned more explicitly in the documentation that the key needs to be the exact same as the require path in your module.
