How to use Jasmine to Spy on Modules being loaded by requireJS?

Question

So I'm using Typescript/RequireJs/Jasmine, and can't get my spy to work for modules loaded in another module.

Here is my Spec:

import { CrmWebApiLib }     from "../../../webresources/allgnt_/scripts/Allgnt.RestLib";
import { TextFormatter }    from "../../../webresources/new_/scripts/script/TextFormatter";

describe("Test", () => {
    it("A Test", () => {
        spyOn(CrmWebApiLib, "create").and.callFake((a, b) => { });

        TextFormatter.test();

        expect(CrmWebApiLib.create).toHaveBeenCalled();
    });

    it("B Test", () => {
        var stub = {
            CrmWebApiLib: {
                create(a, b) { }
            }
        };
        define("../../../webresources/allgnt_/scripts/Allgnt.RestLib", [], stub as any);
        spyOn(stub.CrmWebApiLib, "create").and.callFake((a, b) => { });

        TextFormatter.test();

        expect(CrmWebApiLib.create).toHaveBeenCalled();
    });
});

Here is the TextFormatter:

import { RestLib, CrmWebApiLib }    from "../../../allgnt_/scripts/allgnt.restlib";

export module TextFormatter {
    export function test() {
        CrmWebApiLib.create("A", "Test");
    }
}

In either "A Test" or "B Test" I can't get the spy to function. It always calls the actual implementation and errors. I can change the TextFormatter to allow for it's definition of TextFormatter to be injected in, but that just feels wrong.

How do I get the spyOn call to work in situations like this?

Figured out the answer, use Squire.js.

it("A Test", (done) => {
    const injector = new Squire();
    var mock = { CrmWebApiLib: { create: () => { } }};

    spyOn(mock.CrmWebApiLib, "create").and.callFake((a, b) => { });
    injector
        .mock("allgnt_/scripts/allgnt.restlib", mock)
        .require(["new_/scripts/script/Dfnd.TextFormatter"], (mod) => {
            mod.TextFormatter.test();   
            expect(mock.CrmWebApiLib.create).toHaveBeenCalled();
            done();
        });

});

Only had two hiccups:

1. Installed Squire, rather than Squirejs,
2. It does not support relative paths.
