Meteor 1.3 - testing with sinon stubs, behavior is different on client and server

Problem:

Stubbed functions that are called by a Meteor method behave differently on the client and server.

This test passes on the server.

But on the client, the stub does not work and I get an error thrown by funcOne, which means that funcOne did not return true.

Using:

• Meteor 1.3-rc.4
• avital:mocha
• practicalmeteor:chai
• practicalmeteor:sinon

Code:

```coffee describe 'items', -> describe 'addItem', ->

  item = null

  beforeEach ->
    Meteor.call 'emptyCollection', 'Items'

    item = new Item({
      name : "Thing"
      text: "Lets get this test working"
    })

    sinon.stub utils, 'funcOne', -> true

  afterEach ->
    utils.funcOne.restore()

  it 'should add an item to DB', ->
    Meteor.call('addItem', item)
    itemInDb = Items.findOne()
    expect(itemInDb).to.be.a('object')
    expect(itemInDb).to.have.property('_id')

```

Tried:

I have tried variations of restoring the stubbed method only on the server or not restoring at all, which does give me different errors, but still no joy.

I have looked into load order issues:

• my tests are in the same folder as the methods root/methods/items.coffee
• App.utils file is in root/lib/
• I am currently not using imports/exports folders

Help?

Anybody have any ideas... Thanks.
