Use appropriate mocking approaches for different dependencies in tests to ensure accurate test results and prevent false positives. Different types of dependencies require different mocking strategies:
window.open
):
// Define and mock the property before using it
// @ts-expect-error global.open should return a Window, but is not implemented in js-dom.
const openSpy = jest.spyOn(global, 'open').mockReturnValue(true);
afterEach(() => { jest.resetAllMocks(); });
3. For module dependencies, use dedicated mocks rather than actual imports:
```javascript
// Instead of using setupDataSources which imports actual modules:
const dsServer = new MockDataSourceSrv(datasources) as unknown as DataSourceSrv;
Using precise mocking strategies improves test reliability, prevents unexpected behavior from external dependencies, and ensures tests validate exactly what you intend to test.
