Nocked calls to nested HTTP calls not working as expected

Here’s a sample app:

var express = require('express');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var request = require('request');

var app = express();
var PORT = 1234;
app.set('port', PORT);
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(cookieParser());

app.get('/test', function (req, res) {
    request.get('http://www.google.com', function (err, response, body) {
        res.send(body);
    });
});

app.listen(PORT, function () {
    console.log('App started on port ' + PORT + '!');
});

Here’s the Mocha test for it:

var mocker = require('nock');
var assert = require('chai').assert;
var request = require('request');

describe('node-nock', function () {
    var testOutput = 'Hooray!';
    mocker('http://www.google.com')
        .get('/')
        .reply(200, testOutput);

    it('should mock the request to google.com', function (done) {
        request('http://localhost:1234/test', function (err, response, body) {
            assert.equal(testOutput, body);
            done();
        });
    });
});

Running the test above fails the assertion even though the call to www.google.com has been nocked.

@vitorarins @matanh-tzmedical Many thanks for your responses. No, I wasn’t requiring the app in my test, and yes, I was running the app separately.

Yes, I’m happy for this issue to be closed.
