method to reset spy object

Hello,

is there a method to reset a spy object for reuse?

var boom = chai.spy(originalFn);

originalFn();

expect(boom).to.have.been.called.once;  // passes

boom.reset();

expect(boom).to.have.been.called.once;  //fails

Was helpful in another test framework and thought it would be great here. I can open up a pull request too if it’s a matter of resetting some internal vars for the callCount

Jasmine automatically cleans up all spies in afterEach callback

What you need to do is to add

afterEach()=>{
  chai.spy.restore(class, ‘anotherFunction')
})

hi @stalniy, sure, I can answer a possible use case. It’s a convenience method on your spy when making multiple calls to it that you can inspect, and maybe you want to reset after interacting with the spy.

And same as you just mentioned above, it can be used in an afterEach block to reuse if the spy is cached to a var
