This PR adds the ability to pass options to the react-test-renderer create method, for example to allow mocking refs as per https://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2016/11/16/react-v15.4.0.html#mocking-refs-for-snapshot-testing

@arunoda @roonyh without this PR, running a snapshot test on a component that uses a ref will result in the following error:

This fixes #58 - would be very useful for us to deal with components that use refs.

@roonyh can you take a look when you get a chance?

With @jasonmorganson solution we could have a per-story mock: https://github.com/storybooks/storyshots/issues/58#issuecomment-265554582
Maybe an even better solution would be to add it to story.options.storyshots.createNodeMock. It would be cleaner if we end up needing more configuration options...

That said, options passed to initStoryshots could still be usefull as a default.

Hi, what's the status on this? I need this functionality and would like to do what I can to get it merged.

Hi, I've made a proposal for a react component-based api for defining stories and passing arbitrary props: https://github.com/storybooks/storybook/issues/993

It's now possible to set a (admittedly global) createNodeMock via the storyshots test option.

We still need a solution to doing it per-story, I suppose. See @theinterned's linked discussion issues.

@tmeasday can we close this now, or do we want to continue the per-story discussion here?

I think it's useful to have an open issue about this because it is something people need.
