Playwright example about mock-socket HOT 3 OPEN

Once you create a Server instance the window.WebSocket object has been mocked by default. Usually the best place for it is beforeEach hook.
If it's not working for you it's better to check the documentation of the library. https://playwright.dev/docs/mock#creating-mocks
For example you can try mocking it manually like this:

import { WebSocket } from 'mock-socket';

test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
  await page.addInitScript(() => {
    window.WebSocket = WebSocket;
  });
});

and create a server with mock: false option later:

test('...', async ({ page }) => {
  const server = new Server('ws://localhost:8080', { mock: false });
});

Hey @Atrue thanks for the response. The issue I had was the WebSocket definition doesn't get passed through the addInitScript(), so the definition is never overwritten. Is there a workaround for that you're aware of? It looks like the stuff in the init script is completely isolated.

You need to try the examples in the documentation and make sure they works, if so you can try mocking the WebSocket the same way, you can even try it without this library, but there is no difference.
As mocking getBattery is the same as the mocking WebSocket it should work in both cases. But if the playwright has difference there you can also try using Object.defineProperty
