using jest: ElectronStore is not a constructor

[flaushi]

Hey, I am no pro with nodejs, I'd be grateful for some help.

I am trying to mock electron in my jest test suite, because the ElectronStore constructor calls

const defaultCwd = (electron.app || electron.remote.app).getPath('userData');

So I have a jest.config.js:

module.exports = {
    "roots": [
      "<rootDir>/src"
    ],
    "transform": {
        "^.+\\.tsx?$": "ts-jest"
    },
    "testPathIgnorePatterns" : ['mocks'],
    "moduleNameMapper": {
        "electron" : "<rootDir>/mocks/electronMock.js"
    }
  }

and the electronMock.js

module.exports = {
    app: {
        getPath: jest.fn().mockReturnValue('.')
    }
}

But I get the following error message:

TypeError: ElectronStore is not a constructor

       5 | import * as XLSX from 'xlsx';
       6 | import  ElectronStore = require('electron-store');
    >  7 | const store = new ElectronStore();
         |               ^

THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE!!!

This is not related to electron-store.

Googling it gives some maybe helpful results:

• TypeError: _MyClass2.default is not a constructor using jest.mock(path, factory) on ES6 class import jestjs/jest#5023
