Expose mocks directly with mockNuxtImport #541
Description
Currently, it's possible to mock a Nuxt import:
mockNuxtImport('useStorage', () => {
return vi.fn()
})When we want to access this mock in our test, to run an assertion or to change the implementation, we can use vi.hoisted:
const { useStorageMock } = vi.hoisted(() => {
return {
useStorageMock: vi.fn()
}
})
mockNuxtImport('useStorage', () => {
return useStorageMock
})
// now we can change the implementation of useStorageMock between testsThis is a lot of code just to define and expose a single mock. Would it be possible to make mocking Nuxt imports easier by returning the mocks directly in mockNuxtImport?
I propose something like this:
const useStorageMock = mockNuxtImport('useStorage', () => {
return vi.fn()
})
// now we can change the implementation of useStorageMock between testsI'm down to have a look at this if this is possible.

It seems this should be possible to implement in the same plugin that processes/handles

Hi, I'd like to pick this up. Following the suggested approach, I'll expose the mocks returned from
mockNuxtImportso they can be accessed directly in tests, with tests and docs. Could this be assigned to me?
