Cannot find module '../request' error using mock in Jest

Question

I have a test file that has this line

jest.mock('../request');

but it seems couldn't find my mocks folder and it's request file. My folder structure as below

I followed the example of jest here https://github.com/facebook/jest/tree/master/examples/async

Any clue what's wrong?

Answer 1

The path in jest.mock needs to be the relative path from your test to the module you want to mock (request.js) and the __mocks__ folder needs to be in the folder where the original request.js file is in. From your screenshot its hard to see if its like this. Also your test dont show the jest.mock('../request'); line.
