[SOLVED] Require Meteor in unit chai test

help
1

Hello,
We are writing chai tests.
One test is expecting to throw an error.
The problem is that our code throw an error like this

throw new Meteor.error('err', 'my-error')

but in chai tests Meteor is undefined.

The only way to do it was like this :

if (typeof Meteor !== 'undefined') {
        throw new Meteor.Error('err', 'my-error');
      }
      throw 'my-error';

It seems strange that I have to do this in my code, is it possible to import/require Meteor at the top of my function ?

Thanks

maybe you can mock it in some ‘setup’ functions like Meteor = { Error : Error }; ?

Thanks a lot, this is clever !

Meteor = {
    Error : function() {
        throw arguments['1'];
    }
};

worked perfectly ! (added on top of our test file)
