Consider using Jasmine: http://github.com/pivotal/jasmine

It’s pretty much replaced screw.unit.

Ahh.. I modified the source code of qmock to suite my needs

Now I can do something like…

var mock$ = new Mock();
mock$
.expects(1)
.method(‘ajax’)
.withArguments({
url: String,
success: Function,
dataType: “jsonp”
})
.callFunctionWith(‘data response’);

and then I pass mock$ into my function as a variable that acts like the jQuery object

I know this is almost a year after you posted this, but I’d be interested to see how you are stubbing out the AJAX request w/ jQuery. I imagine you are stubbing out the return success callback with a static value so that the actual HTTP request isn’t being made, correct? Do you have a sample out there somewhere?
