@farisT referring directly to the module is ok.

The issue is because of the transpiling of the modules using import/export. Refer to this thread https://github.com/sinonjs/sinon/issues/1711. Therefore when you refer to the index.ts it cannot find what to stub. The solution is either referring to the module directly in the stubbed tests eg. import * as actions from './actions/github.actions'; Or using something like proxyquire as I mentioned previously. What do you think @jeroenouw ?
