I'm using sinon with fake timers and I want to check if clearTimeout was called with a specific timeout-id.

var clock = sinon.useFakeTimers();
functionUnderTest();
// How can I know if functionUnderTest cleared a specific timeout?

The clock object has sinon's timer related functions, you can spy them and then assert that they were called

var clock = sinon.useFakeTimers();
sinon.spy(clock, "clearTimeout");

functionUnderTest();

sinon.assert.calledWith(clock.clearTimeout, 42);
