Cannot spyOn inherited getters/setters

[david2tm]

Describe the bug

I hope I gave the right title.

Problem

Consider the following:

import { spyOn } from 'tinyspy'

class A {
  _a = 0
  get a() {
    return this._a
  }
  set a(value) {
    this._a = value
  }
}

class Foo extends A {
}


    const a = new Foo()
    spyOn(a, { getter: 'a' }, () => 100)
    console.log(a.a) // OK
    a.a = 2 // fails here <----

with error: TypeError: Cannot set property a of #<Foo> which has only a getter.

Looked at this function, and it this code:

  let objDescriptor = getDescriptor(obj, accessName)
  let proto = Object.getPrototypeOf(obj)
  let protoDescriptor = proto && getDescriptor(proto, accessName)
  let originalDescriptor = objDescriptor || protoDescriptor

  assert(
    originalDescriptor || accessName in obj,
    `${String(accessName)} does not exist`
  )

originalDescriptor will be undefined but accessName in obj is true.

Works good if I do const a = new A() instead, but this is not the point.

Solution

I've investigated it, and saw that the problem is within https://github.com/tinylibs/tinyspy
I've opened an issue there tinylibs/tinyspy#49 and suggested a fix: tinylibs/tinyspy#50
But the team is probably busy with more urgent stuff.

Reproduction

Check PR tinylibs/tinyspy#50 in https://github.com/tinylibs/tinyspy it has a test that will fail.
