Thanks for your help. I've found in the archives that you have to use mocha to 
do these kind of things. I tried a different approach (to mock the initializer) 
but although this works on a simple setup, it didn't work for me on my real 
classes. I'm probably doing something wrong so I'll upload it to github and ask 
this list again for help.

Thanks.

Bye
