module: preserve URL in the parent created by createRequire()

joyeecheung · aduh95 · commit edec5be805b6 · 2026-01-19T19:19:23.000+01:00
Previously, createRequire() does not preserve the URL it gets passed in the mock parent module created, which can be observable if it's used together with module.registerHooks(). This patch adds preservation of the URL if createRequire() is invoked with one.
