Mocking the connect function of nats

[chethan-b-hpe]

Any one having idea on how we can mock the nats.Connect function I tried in many ways but still its not working,
sample snippet , I want to mock Connect function of nats here :

`	for retries = 0; retries < maxAttempts; retries++ {
		log.Infof("connecting to: %v", url)
		conn, err = natsgo.Connect(url, nats.Timeout(200*time.Millisecond))
		if err == nil {
			break
		}

		log.Errorf("Error occurred while connecting to NATS stream. Err :%v Retry attempt %d in %d seconds", err, retries+1, backoffTime/time.Second)
		backoffTime *= 2
		time.Sleep(backoffTime)
	}`

There is no mock available.
Considering how rich is NATS API, it would be really hard, if not impossible, to mock everything in a reliable way, or a way that helps more than harms.

We recommend running an actual nats-server for tests. It is really lightweight and especially easy in Go, where you can run it embedded into your tests.

Running the NATS server in tests works well for us:

The NATS Go test code is full of examples of this as well.
