1510545 - Allow to redirect require calls in browser loader to support mocks

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: General, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Julian Descottes [:jdescottes]]

Implementation bug for RFC https://github.com/devtools-html/rfcs/issues/55

The goal is to modify the browser-loader so that certain paths can return test objects instead of real modules.

The summary of the RFC on GitHub has some suggestions for the API.

Note that modifying the real loader might be more limited and difficult than expected [1], so we will focus on the browser loader here. Also as a reference, there are similar APIs in the codebase, used for extensions testing [2].
