Yup, I’m not arguing, And I do appreciate you trying to help me find what I might be missing. But I’m just hoping to share that Jest, Sinon, and most JS libraries that impliment spies allow you to mock any dependency. So the following might not be necessarily true.
Deep within a shared module which I don't control, I do not have the ability to pass arguments to function myController(dependency1, dependency2) The maintainer of that shared module would need to publicly expose the ability to pass in new dependencies
Well, I mean it is 100% true, but since Jest can mock import statements, you don’t necessarily have to invert control to pass a spy in because the module loader does that for IOC for you.
Thank you for your thoughts. If someone would be willing to verify my hypothesis, I would appreciate it. So far I have not needed DI, but there might be circumstances I haven’t encountered.
Again, I enjoyed your article and I appreciate your responses. :)

In my case, I haven't used DI for tests but rather for production code. As a real world example, this angular module for working with cookies allows you to replace the CookieService with a CookieBackendService when rendering your app on the server side. As always with programming, I'm sure there are other ways you could accomplish the same thing.
