Using Jasmine to spy on a function without an object

by

If you are defining your function:

function test() {};

Then, this is equivalent to:

window.test = function() {}  /* (in the browser) */

So spyOn(window, 'test') should work.

If that is not, you should also be able to:

test = jasmine.createSpy();

If none of those are working, something else is going on with your setup.

I don’t think your fakeElement technique works because of what is going on behind the scenes. The original globalMethod still points to the same code. What spying does is proxy it, but only in the context of an object. If you can get your test code to call through the fakeElement it would work, but then you’d be able to give up global fns.
