I'm trying to test a javascript file (let's call it hello.js) using mocha and jsdom. I have several unit tests; each test basically sets up some window properties, calls hello.js, and checks window property values. Tests seem to be running somehow; however, it seems like mocha uses "cached" hello.js after the first test (logging only shows in the first test).
Can someone tell me how I can ensure that I reload hello.js in each test?
const expect = require('chai').expect;
const jsdom = require('jsdom');
const { JSDOM } = jsdom;
var dom = (new JSDOM(`<!DOCTYPE html><html><head></head><body></body></html>`));
describe('hello', ()=>{
afterEach(()=>{
dom = (new JSDOM(`<!DOCTYPE html><html><head></head><body></body></html>`));
global.window = {};
document = {};
location = {};
});
it('should test A', ()=> {
global.window = dom.window;
global.window.document.cookie = "test=kiwi";
document = global.window.document;
const hello = require('../public/hello.js');
expect(document.getElementsByTagName('IFRAME').length).to.equal(1);
});
it('should test B', ()=> {
global.window = dom.window;
global.window.document.cookie = "test=apple";
document = global.window.document;
const hello = require('../public/hello.js');
expect(document.getElementsByTagName('IFRAME').length).to.equal(0);
});
});

There's a library that you can pull in to do this for you:
Example:
const resetCache = require('resnap')(); // Capture "clean" cache state
Reference: Resnap
