esmock static import for classes not matching about esmock

@brianzinn it's not so easy understand the whole setup, but! obviously, when you mock something with esmock, imports are comes from different module(s) (which is created on the fly) - so, object comparison by value, by using instanceof operator, etc. don't work as you may expect. In that particular case, if you want to compare some object exported from 'entities.js' with other object from the same file, you have mock that object with pre-defined value (doesn't matter which value - real object imported at the top of test file, or just unique symbol if code doesn't call object methods) in every test.

thanks @koshic - I will try actually to pass them myself. I'm not sure why I didn't think of trying that. It's a bit of a paradigm shift thinking about the module loader. I can't try till later today - will report back. cheers.

esmock({
   ...,
   {
      ...
     '../pathToEntities': Entities
   }
)

yes - that was it 🤦‍♂️ my tests are becoming more succinct as i make changes - this way of mocking guides me towards only mocking immediate dependencies.
