Hi All,

Firstly apologies for some of the terminology here, i am coming from an MS 
stack into Node so some of my language is still stuck there. I am just 
getting into node, and improving my javascript along the way, and all the 
community driven stuff is really great.

I am using Mocha and should for my unit test

One issue i am having is mocking the class which deals with the data 
connections to the database.  I currently have an *Account *data access 
object that deals with accounts in the database, this requires a *Database 
*object 
which deals with the link to the database and running the queries.  What i 
would like to do is mock the *Database *requires when testing the *Account 
*object 
in isolation.

i tried to use the node-sandboxed-module from Felix Geisendorfer, but i am 
not sure if i was using it incorrectly, as it sandboxed the object 
perfectly but then all my should asserts would stop working???.  I also 
took a look at his other module Gently, but i am gonna be honest i didn't 
fully understand its usage in my scenario, probably me being dim.

Are there any good examples or best practices for this sort of thing?

Thanks,

Rob
