I am trying to understand how to mock a function call inside a module when function returns an object, say I have a file

Sample.ts

export function food(){
  return new Fruit();
}
export function taste(){
  return food().getTaste();
}

Now let's say I am trying to test a scenario wether taste() throws an error when getTaste() throws an error.

I understand I can take advantage of "ES6 module cyclic dependency" to import the module into itself as:

import * as sample from './sample';

export function food(){
  return new Fruit();
}
export function taste(){
  return sample.food().getTaste();
}

But I am not sure while testing how do I return mocked Fruit mockedReturnValue does not allow a "Argument of type 'typeof jest'"

const mockedFruit = jest.mock("./fruit", () => ({
    getTaste: jest.fn().mockImplementation(() => {
         throw new Error("Test Error");
    }),
    promise: jest.fn()
}));

test('taste', () => {
  const sample = require('./sample');
  jest.spyOn(sample, 'food').mockReturnValue(mockedFruit);
  expect(sample.taste()).toThrowError();
})
