mocha-make-stub

---

A simple mocha + sinon stubbing helper.

Creates before and after mocha statements to stub a method on a target before running a tests block and restore it afterwards. The stub is stored at a name field in the mocha's context object (this).

If no name is provided, the stubbed function will be stored at the context's method property instead of name. This allows for a slightly smaller shorthand for simpler cases.

This is simply a syntastic sugar for using sinon with mocha. See more at: http://sinonjs.org

Params

Type	Name	Description
Mixed	[name]	The key under which to store the sinon stub. Defaults to the method value
Mixed	target	The object to stub. If a string is provided it'll be looked up on the mocha's context
Mixed	method	The key of the method stub - usually a String.
Function	[fn]	The stub function if any.
Boolean	[mocha_ctx=false]	Whether to bind fn to the mocha context.

Example

var request     = require('superagent'),
    makeStub    = require('mocha-make-stub'),
    makeRequest = require('..'); // something

describe('makeRequest(host, body, cb)', function() {
  makeStub('Request$prototype$end', request.Request.prototype, 'end', function(cb) {
    cb()
  });

  it('calls Request.prototype.end', function() {
    this.Request$prototype$end.called.should.be.ok;
    // ...
  });
});

makeStub.each([name], target, method, [fn], [mocha_ctx=false])

Like makeStub but uses beforeEach and afterEach.
