How to mock in tests

[yereby]

Hi,

I have an appli where i use telnet.connect like that :

const params = {
  host: self.host,
  port: 23,
  shellPrompt: '~ #',
  timeout: 0,
  password: '*****',
}
telnet = new Telnet()
await telnet.connect(params)

It works fine, but know a write my tests and i can't manage to mock the telnet connect.
Does someone have any advice ?

Thanks.

Hi! The only way to mock this is to create a simple telnet server using the telnet library. Please, check tests here, you'll see an example written.

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. What about creating a fake server in here ?
Like node-serialport did, they added a mocking feature.
See here https://github.com/node-serialport/node-serialport#testing

Hi,

Makes sense. Would you be interested in implementing such stuff? PRs are welcome.

[yereby]

Yep with pleasure.
I'll do it in my app and back port here

Hi @mkozjak unfortunately the project was delayed, and i don't have enough time to work on this issue.
Really sorry.
