Not mocking package under Jest about mock-require HOT 7 CLOSED

Seems like Jest has a .mock() method so I will be using that. Sorry for bothering you :)

Not a bother at all. For anyone else who sees this, I'm guessing the issue here is that Jest is probably using its own custom require method, which is how it handles things like auto-mocking. But as you discovered, you can just use Jest's mocking functionality and bypass mock-require altogether.

@boblauer I really enjoy using your library. I use it in a bff (backend for frontend) that I have for a UI I am building and it works great.

I usually run the bff in 'mocked' mode independently and that works perfectly, but I would like to run it in mocked mode for my jest tests. This causes problems, and I can't seem to find a way to get jest to mock modules that are deeper in my file hierarchy (like your library does beautifully).

I tried mocking the 'mock-require' function with the jest.mock (or jest.doMock or jest.setMock) but it doesn't seem to work when it is an external file.

Maybe you have some suggestions? Otherwise I'll just run the bff in a separate thread when I run my tests.

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with using this library in parallel with Jest, so I'm afraid I don't have any suggestions on how to make it work. Sorry ☹️

Thanks for the reply. :) I'll have to make do!

Your mocking lib was beautifully intuitive and I was using it w/ mocha. Unfortunately I hate mocha so I was trying to move onto Jest. Unfortunately it didn't work there and Jest's mock lib for modules is not nearly as intuitive or elegant as yours. So, nice work on the lib 👍

Thank you for the kind words @NateZimmer . It's a bummer it doesn't work with Jest.
