Jest does not detect my mock call in promise .catch block

Jest does not seem to be detecting my mock calls in the catch block. Yet, if don't mock the method handleError, I'll receive an error. I have tried multiple ways of doing the returned rejected promise but no luck so far.

I've tried callbacks, Promise.reject, Promise((res, rej) => {})

Code being tested:

      module.exports = class PresetDropdown {
    constructor (Api, objectId, titleSort) {
      this.Api = Api;
      this.objectId; = objectId;
      this.presets = [];
    }
  
  
    handleError (err) {
      console.log(err)
      // more functionality
    }
  
  
    get () {
      this.Api.getMany(this.objectId)
        .then((data) => {
          this.handleEmpty(data);
  
          this.isError = false;
        })
        .catch((err) => {
          this.isError = true;
          this.handleError(err);
        });
    }
  
  };

Test (Jest):

      test('Expect call from handleError after reject promise', async () => {
    // assemble
    // return the class 
    const Module = getModule();

    const mockRejectedPromise = jest.fn(() => {
      return Promise.reject(Error(mockError));
    });

    mockApi.getMany = mockRejectedPromise;

    const module = new Module(mockApi, '1', null);

    const mockHandleError = jest.fn(() => {});

    PresetTemplate.handleError = mockHandleError;

    // act
    await PresetTemplate.get(mockScope);

    // assert
    expect(mockHandleError).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1); // DOES NOT DETECT CALL
    // Test CASE FAILS HERE ^
  });

Since PresetDropdown class accept an Api object, you can create a mocked Api object and pass it to the class. Then mock resolved/rejected value for Api.getMany() method, so that you can test different code branches.

E.g.

presetDropdown.js:

module.exports = class PresetDropdown {
  constructor(Api, objectId, titleSort) {
    this.Api = Api;
    this.objectId = objectId;
    this.presets = [];
  }

  handleError(err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
  handleEmpty(data) {
    console.log(data);
  }

  get() {
    return this.Api.getMany(this.objectId)
      .then((data) => {
        this.handleEmpty(data);

        this.isError = false;
      })
      .catch((err) => {
        this.isError = true;
        this.handleError(err);
      });
  }
};

presetDropdown.test.js:

const PresetDropdown = require('./presetDropdown');

describe('71164955', () => {
  test('should handle data', async () => {
    const mockApi = {
      getMany: jest.fn().mockResolvedValueOnce('fake data'),
    };
    const instance = new PresetDropdown(mockApi, '1');
    await instance.get();
    expect(instance.isError).toBeFalsy();
  });

  test('should handle error', async () => {
    const mockError = new Error('fake error');
    const mockApi = {
      getMany: jest.fn().mockRejectedValueOnce(mockError),
    };
    const instance = new PresetDropdown(mockApi, '1');
    await instance.get();
    expect(instance.isError).toBeTruthy();
  });
});

Test result:

 PASS  stackoverflow/71164955/presetDropdown.test.js
  71164955
    ✓ should handle data (14 ms)
    ✓ should handle error (3 ms)
