Describe the bug

I'm currently facing challenges in testing a component method within a Nuxt environment. Specifically, I'm attempting to spy on a component method to test its interactions within template events. Despite researching similar cases online, I've yet to find a clear solution to this issue.

One suggestion I encountered was to define the spy before the component mounts. However, I'm unable to access wrapper.vm before mount time, complicating this approach. Additionally, I experimented with spying on the global injected $fetch method from the 'ofetch' library. Unfortunately, this led to another error regarding the inability to redefine the variable $fetch when attempting variations like:

import OFetch from 'ofetch'
const spy = vi.spyOn(OFetch, '$fetch')
// or
const spy = vi.spyOn(global, '$fetch')
// or
const spy = vi.spyOn({ $fetch }, '$fetch')

It appears that this issue may not be directly tied to the nuxt-test-utils package. Nevertheless, I wanted to bring it to your attention in the hopes that someone might offer guidance or assistance. I'm eager to find a resolution and would appreciate any insights or suggestions you might have.

I'm also considering reporting a similar issue to the vue-test-utils package, as I suspect that this problem might be reproducible outside of the Nuxt environment.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Bumping this as it seems to have been complete forgotten but is still and issue. Just like the OP I have found no working way to actually ,spy on user defined component methods...

It definitely require additional developments
