Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

createMockContext

✓ import { createMockContext } from 'test-helpr'

✗ const createMockContext = require('test-helpr')

ESM-only since v0.3.0

mockFn

✓ import { mockFn } from 'test-helpr'

✗ import mockFn from 'test-helpr'

Not a default export; must use named import.

stubConsole

✓ import { stubConsole } from 'test-helpr'

✗ const { stubConsole } = require('test-helpr')

Use ESM import in modern Node.js (>=12).

Demonstrates importing and using three main helpers: createMockContext, mockFn, and stubConsole.

import { createMockContext, mockFn, stubConsole } from 'test-helpr'; // Create a mock context const ctx = createMockContext(); // Create a mock function const mock = mockFn(); mock('arg'); console.log(mock.calls); // [['arg']] // Stub console.log const restore = stubConsole(); console.log('test'); console.log(console.output); // ['test'] restore();

Debug

Known issues

breakingESM-only since version 0.3.0; CommonJS require() no longer supported.

fix

Use import syntax: import { ... } from 'test-helpr'

affects: >=0.3.0

deprecatedFunctions may have undocumented side effects; no active maintenance.

fix

Consider migrating to a more actively maintained library like sinon.

affects: <=0.3.2

gotchamockFn does not reset calls between test cases; manual reset needed.

fix

Reset mock.calls = [] in beforeEach or afterEach.

affects: <=0.3.2
