This is the structure in my project named super-project inside the folder super-project:

---

• super-project
  • config
    • __mocks__
      • dom.js
  • src
    • user.js
  • tests
    • user.test.js
  • jest.config.js
  • package.json

You need to setup Jest to use a mock in your tests:

dom.js:

import { JSDOM } from "jsdom"
const dom = new JSDOM()
global.document = dom.window.document
global.window = dom.window

user.js:

export function create() {
  return document.createElement('table');  
}

user.test.js:

import { create } from "../src/user";

test('create table', () => {
  expect(create().outerHTML).toBe('');
});

jest.config.js:

module.exports = {
  setupFiles: ["./config/__mocks__/dom.js"],
};
