Mocking react-native Appearance with Jest [duplicate] - reactjs

Question

I'm trying to mock only one function in imported React module, keep the rest of the module unmocked and do this at top level for all tests.
I'm using fresh create-react-app project with a single test to observe the problem.
Steps to reproduce:
create-react-app test
use provided src/App.test.js as the only test file
npm run test
App.test.js
jest.mock('react', () => {
jest.dontMock('react');
const React = require('react');
const lazy = jest.fn();
return {
...React,
lazy
};
});
import * as React from 'react';
const React2 = require('react');
it('should partially mock React module', async () => {
expect(jest.isMockFunction(React.lazy)).toBe(true); // passes
expect(jest.isMockFunction(React2.lazy)).toBe(true); // fails
expect(jest.isMockFunction(require('react').lazy)).toBe(true); // fails
expect(jest.isMockFunction((await import('react')).lazy)).toBe(true); // fails
});
The problem here seems to be jest.dontMock as it prevents require and dynamic import from being mocked, but it remains unclear why it was possible to mock static import this way, as it uses require any way. Here's transpiled file:
"use strict";
jest.mock('react', () => {
jest.dontMock('react');
const React = require('react');
const lazy = jest.fn();
return (0, _objectSpread2.default)({}, React, {
lazy
});
});
var _interopRequireWildcard3 = require("...\\node_modules\\#babel\\runtime/helpers/interopRequireWildcard");
var _interopRequireDefault = require("...\\node_modules\\#babel\\runtime/helpers/interopRequireDefault");
var _interopRequireWildcard2 = _interopRequireDefault(require("...\\node_modules\\#babel\\runtime/helpers/interopRequireWildcard"));
var _objectSpread2 = _interopRequireDefault(require("...\\node_modules\\#babel\\runtime/helpers/objectSpread"));
var React = _interopRequireWildcard3(require("react"));
const React2 = require('react');
...
This may have something to do with create-react-app Jest+Babel setup because I was unable to make jest.dontMock work incorrectly with vanilla Jest and require.
Why is static React import mocked but React2 and the rest aren't? What exactly is going on inside?
How can jest.dontMock current behaviour be fixed to partially mock a module at top level?

Default Imports:
A simple solution would be to mock React.lazy in the setupTest.js:
import React from 'react';
import { configure } from 'enzyme';
import Adapter from 'enzyme-adapter-react-16';
configure({ adapter: new Adapter() });
jest.spyOn(React.lazy);
Any subsequent require/imports of react will be partially mocked for each test file.
Working example: https://github.com/mattcarlotta/react-lazy-mocked (I don't use the create-react-app, but jest can be set up the same way as I have it)
Installation:
git clone git#github.com:mattcarlotta/react-lazy-mocked.git
cd react-lazy-mocked
yarn install
yarn test
root/__tests__/root.test.js
import React from 'react';
import App from '../index.js';
const React2 = require('react');
describe('App', () => {
const wrapper = mount(<App />);
it('renders without errors', () => {
const homeComponent = wrapper.find('.app');
expect(homeComponent).toHaveLength(1);
});
it('should partially mock React module', async () => {
expect(jest.isMockFunction(await require('react').lazy)).toBe(true); // eslint-disable-line global-require
expect(jest.isMockFunction(React)).toBe(false);
expect(jest.isMockFunction(React.lazy)).toBe(true);
expect(jest.isMockFunction(React2)).toBe(false);
expect(jest.isMockFunction(React2.lazy)).toBe(true);
});
it('should no longer be partially mocked within the test file', () => {
React.lazy.mockRestore();
expect(jest.isMockFunction(React.lazy)).toBe(false);
});
});
pages/Home/__tests__/Home.test.js
import React from 'react';
import Home from '../index.js';
describe('Home', () => {
const wrapper = shallow(<Home />);
it('renders without errors', () => {
const homeComponent = wrapper.find('.app');
expect(homeComponent).toHaveLength(1);
});
it('should partially mock React module', async () => {
expect(jest.isMockFunction(React.lazy)).toBe(true);
});
});
Named Imports:
Working example: https://github.com/mattcarlotta/named-react-lazy-mocked
Installation:
git clone git#github.com:mattcarlotta/named-react-lazy-mocked.git
cd named-react-lazy-mocked
yarn install
yarn test
utils/__mocks__/react.js
jest.mock('react', () => ({
...require.requireActual('react'),
lazy: jest.fn(),
}));
module.exports = require.requireMock('react');
utils/setup/setupTest.js (optionally, you can add the mocked react file as a global jest function so you won't have to write import * as React from 'react' for every test):
import { JSDOM } from 'jsdom';
import { configure } from 'enzyme';
import Adapter from 'enzyme-adapter-react-16';
// import React from '../__mocks__/react';
configure({ adapter: new Adapter() });
// global.React = React;
root/__tests__/root.test.js
import * as React from 'react';
import App from '../index.js';
const React2 = require('react');
describe('App', () => {
const wrapper = mount(<App />);
it('renders without errors', () => {
const homeComponent = wrapper.find('.app');
expect(homeComponent).toHaveLength(1);
});
it('should partially mock React module', async () => {
expect(jest.isMockFunction(await require('react').lazy)).toBe(true); // eslint-disable-line global-require
expect(jest.isMockFunction(React)).toBe(false);
expect(jest.isMockFunction(React.lazy)).toBe(true);
expect(jest.isMockFunction(React2)).toBe(false);
expect(jest.isMockFunction(React2.lazy)).toBe(true);
});
});
