React-redux-starter-kit: Use 'nock' gives "cannot resolve module 'fs'"

[baopham]

I followed the docs and keep getting this error:

WARNING in ./~/nock/lib/scope.js
Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'fs' in /<path>/node_modules/nock/lib

This is probably why: https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/689, https://github.com/pgte/nock/issues/409 - so using fetch-mock as alternative

@baopham

You can add

      node: {
        fs: "empty"
      }

into your webpack config.

[baopham]

@choonkending I tried that but it didn't work.

This worked for me (same idea but different code) in your webpack config file.

externals: {
    fs: '{}'
},

Is nock working for you?
I'm trying to mock axios API calls in redux actions but it hits the real server instead.

@vinceferro nock can't work with karma. Karma launch test in browser and nock works only in node. https://github.com/node-nock/nock/issues/409
