I am having an issue with mocking functions called from within my module. when the mocked function is called from the test, it works as expected. but when that same mocked function is called from the library, it calls the actual function.

I have tried the jest.mock('./myModule', () => {}) approach, and enableAutomock as well, but with the same results.

I feel like i have not had this problem in other projects, but have looked through my jest configuration, and don't see anything that would effect it.

what am i missing here? how can i mock functions called internally within my module?

// myModule.js

export function foo() {
  return 'foo'
}

export function bar() {
  return foo()
}

// myModule.test.js
import * as myModule from './myModule';

jest.spyOn(myModule, 'foo').mockReturnValue('mock foo');

// i have also tried...
// jest.mock('./myModule', () => {
//   ...(jest.requireActual('./myModule')),
//   foo: jest.fn().mockReturnValue('mock foo')
// });

it('should', () => {
  expect(myModule.foo()).toEqual('mock foo'); // PASS: returns 'mock foo'
  expect(myModule.bar()).toEqual('mock foo'); // FAIL: returns 'foo'
});
