mock.method(Counter.prototype, "read") wrote its wrapper only to the materialized prototype object, while instance calls resolve declared methods through the class registry. The call therefore reached the original vtable method and left method.mock.calls empty.

Declared class prototype targets now route mock installation and restoration through the runtime's prototype-method registration path, which invalidates direct-call guards and makes the wrapper visible to instance dispatch. The parity fixture also replaces a TypeScript parameter property that Node 26 cannot strip, so Node now executes the intended oracle case.

Validation:

  • Corrected prototype-method fixture matches Node 26.5.1 exactly, including receiver identity and restore behavior
  • Extended base-class/subclass custom-implementation probe matches Node
  • Focused node_submodules::test tests: 52 passed
  • Full perry-runtime suite: 3,242 passed, 4 ignored; doc tests green
  • Full perry-stdlib suite: 132 passed
  • Full test node-suite module: 81/90, with the repaired fixture passing and 9 existing unrelated diffs
  • scripts/run_lint_gates.sh: all 64 gates passed; 2 CI-only commands skipped locally
  • No version bump

Fixes #9202

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • node:test mocking now supports methods declared on class prototypes.
    • Mocked prototype methods correctly intercept instance calls while preserving the original behavior after restoration.
    • Calls and receiver identity are recorded consistently for mocked prototype methods.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage validating prototype method replacement, restoration, call tracking, and instance behavior.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime now installs and restores mocked declared prototype methods through prototype-aware registration. The parity fixture uses an explicit class field and constructor assignment. A changelog entry documents the behavior.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1b5ee

Prototype method mocks now cover normal declared methods, but mocking a declared method named an empty string may not intercept instance calls. Resolve or explicitly accept this edge-case compatibility gap before release.

Node.js 26.5.1 node:test mock.method empty string method name prototype

💡 Result:

In Node.js's node:test module, the mock.method(object, methodName) function requires the methodName argument to be a valid, existing method name on the provided object [1][2][3]. Providing an empty string ('') as the methodName will cause the function to fail because it attempts to look up that property on the object [4][2]. Specifically: 1. Validation: The mock.method function validates that the methodName is a string or symbol [4]. If the provided name does not correspond to an actual function existing on the object (or its prototype chain), or if the lookup fails, Node.js will throw an error (typically TypeError: The argument 'methodName' must be a method) [5][2][3]. 2. Prototype Chain: The mock.method API is designed to support mocking methods defined on the object itself as well as those found on its prototype chain [4][6]. If you intend to mock a prototype method, you should pass the prototype object directly as the first argument, for example: mock.method(MyClass.prototype, 'methodName') [5][4]. 3. Empty String Behavior: An empty string is not a valid method name in standard JavaScript objects unless a method is explicitly defined with that key (e.g., obj[''] = => {}). If no such method exists, passing an empty string will result in a validation or execution error, as the mock tracker cannot identify it as a valid function to replace [2][3]. To successfully mock a method, ensure the second argument matches the exact key of the function you wish to mock [2][3]. If you are working with classes and struggling to target instance methods, ensure you are passing the prototype if you want to mock all instances, or the specific instance if you only want to mock that one [4][6].

Handle empty prototype method names.

When a prototype contains a callable property keyed by "", set_method_property_value passes name_len == 0 to js_register_prototype_method, which returns without registering the wrapper. Instance calls can then bypass the mock. Support zero-length names or preserve prototype-registry dispatch through another path. Add a regression test and run runtime tests with RUST_TEST_THREADS=1.
