I'm basically trying to mock an external module in the same way for all my vitest tests, and it's surprisingly not trivial. In Jest, I would just create a __mocks__
folder at the root, and it appears vitest is maybe supposed to support this, but I can't get it to work. Anybody figured out this (seemingly very basic) use case?
Tried creating a __mocks__
folder at the root, tried doing a global mock in vite.config.ts. I want to create one mock that works for all tests
Add a setup file to your config:
test: {
setupFiles: ['./vitest.setup.ts'],
}
Then you can mock your modules inside the test file, but make sure to prefix module names with node:
when mocking node modules. It took me a while to figure this out... and it's not in the docs. This helped me
