Hi I was reading your blog article and came across this gist.
I was interested in using this technique to stub out subcomponents, basically a test that my parent component creates an instance of subcomponent and verify it with scryRenderedComponentsWithType, however this seems to miss the mark for me, as it completely overrides the subcomponent with a new stub and cannot actually verify that the subcomponent was called from the actual commonJS module.
Thanks for the blog post, has been quite helpful!
