Sinon JS “Attempted to wrap ajax which is already wrapped”

Question

I got the above error message when I ran my test. Below is my code (I\'m using Backbone JS and Jasmine for testing). Does anyone know why this happens?

You have to remove the spy after every test. Take a look at the example from the sinon docs:

{
    setUp: function () {
        sinon.spy(jQuery, "ajax");
    },

    tearDown: function () {
        jQuery.ajax.restore(); // Unwraps the spy
    },

    "test should inspect jQuery.getJSON's usage of jQuery.ajax": function () {
        jQuery.getJSON("/some/resource");

        assert(jQuery.ajax.calledOnce);
        assertEquals("/some/resource", jQuery.ajax.getCall(0).args[0].url);
        assertEquals("json", jQuery.ajax.getCall(0).args[0].dataType);
    }
}

So in your jasmine test should look like this:

$(function() {
  describe("Category", function() {
     beforeEach(function() {
      category = new Category;
      sinon.spy(jQuery, "ajax");
     }

     afterEach(function () {
        jQuery.ajax.restore();
     });

     it("should fetch notes", function() {
      category.set({code: 123});
      category.fetchNotes();
      expect(category.trigger).toHaveBeenCalled();
     }
  })
}

What you need in the very beginning is:

  before ->
    sandbox = sinon.sandbox.create()

  afterEach ->
    sandbox.restore()

Then call something like:

windowSpy = sandbox.spy windowService, 'scroll'
