The best is probably to create a new URL instance, so that it parses your string like location.href does, and so it updates all the properties of location like .hash, .search, .protocol etc.

it("method A should work correctly", () => {
  const url = "http://dummy.com/";
  Object.defineProperty(window, "location", {
    value: new URL(url)
  } );

  window.location.href = url;
  expect(window.location.href).toEqual(url);

  window.location.href += "#bar"
  expect(window.location.hash).toEqual("#bar");
});
