`mockTypes` does not forward to `withTag`

[Anthony Fu]

Describe the feature

Context:

• nuxt-modules/tailwindcss@cb92551
• nuxt-modules/tailwindcss#665

In the tailwind module, we use useLogger to create a scoped logger.

const logger = useLogger('nuxt:tailwindcss')

When we want to test it with mockTypes it doesn't work. Because useLogger uses withTag, which creates a new instance of consola and does not forward the mockTypes. And since withTag creates a new instance inside the module, there is no way for a test runner to mock it without exporting the instance.

I have two solutions in mind:

Solution 1

Expose a queryByTag global function to get the logger instance with the tag, or even make each tag singleton

Solution 2

A global mockTypes function that you can pass a tag to, and for each consola instance it will search for the registered mock function to run. This way we could test only the scoped logger.

6864928 should solve it. (notice that logFn - the factory -) is inherited from parent instance.

Regarding global instance usage, consola < v3 was always using a global and shared instance to reuse but it could make backward compatibility issues if we started to do this. maybe later and specially for this kind of mocks to avoid re-running mock-fn, we add it back.

Been able to inherit is good, but do you think it would be better to also able to have the tag passed to the mock function so we can test based on different scope/tag?

[Pooya Parsa]

Yes that would be also nice! (feel free to make a PR for fix)
