Is there a spyOn analogue in QUnit?

Question

I'm writing specs for different test cases for Jasmine and QUnit to compare them and they looked the same before I needed to write a test to check if an event is binded to an element.

Event binding looks like

$('.page').live('click', function() { page_clicked( $(this) ) });

page_clicked is a private method but it calls for a public method of another module.

Here is a Jasmine spec:

it('should bind events to pages', function() {
    spyOn( search, 'get_results' );

    $('.page:eq(0)').trigger('click');

    expect( search.get_results ).toHaveBeenCalled();
});

This test works. Now I'm trying to write the same test for QUnit and can't find anything similar to spyOn. How to write this test for QUnit?

Answer 1

Its cause QUnit doesn't have spies or mocks. But you can use the Sinon.JS mocking framework. Your test should look like this using sinon spy:

var spy = sinon.spy(search, 'get_results');
sinon.assert.calledOnce(spy);
