I'm trying to write fully automated unit tests in JavaScript and I'm looking for a way to read some private variables in various JS functions. I thought I recalled a way to inject privileged members into a function/object (and found an overwhelming occurrence of "no such thing as private in JS") and yet I can't find any resources indicating how.

I'm trying to read through the properties of .prototype but if there's a way, someone out here would know where to direct me faster than I'd find on my own.

Thanks
