Re: spying on requireJS's require within an AMD module

[Gavin Jackson]

I figured this out, FYI it turns out all that was needed to be done was to spy on window.  This is more a CoffeeScript thing than anything else, as thats the only way CoffeeScript can access globals (what with not having `var`)

spyOn(window, 'require').andCallFake (dependencies, callBack, errorCallBack) ->

  errorCallBack.call()

Hope someone finds that useful

Hi

I am using RequireJS to load AMD modules on demand inside of an AMD module already loaded using RequireJS.  I want to mock the `require()` call which is part of my testable code. 

My class under test looks like:

define ['some/dependencies/here'], (dependency) ->

  class ClassUnderTest

    ..

    ..

    _addWidget: (payload) ->

        require [payload.dependency], (dependency) ->

          #stuff i want to test in here

Cheers
