mocking private methods to test an exported method fails in jest

I'm having an actual class like this

my-file.js

const methodA = () => { return 'output-from-methodA'; }

const methodB = () => { const b = methodA(); b.c = "out-put bind"; return b; }

module.exports = {
    methodB
}

my-file.test.js

const { methodA, methodB }  = require('./my-file.js');
describe('methodB testing', () => {
    it('should call methodA', () => {
        methodB();
        expect(methodA).toHaveBeenCalled()
    }
});

here methodA is private method, so it is not explicit to the test file, then how i ensure it is called or not in the test files

There is no way to test the private function, only the alternative way found is to test the outputs like

const { methodA, methodB }  = require('./my-file.js');
describe('methodB testing', () => {
    it('should call methodA', () => {
        const result = methodB();
        expect(result.b.c).toBe("out-put bind")
    }
});
