Jest URL.createObjectURL is not a function

Question

I\'m developping a reactJs application. I\'m using jest to test my application. I want to test a function that download a blob.

But unfortunately I receve this error

This would appear to be as simple as setting up URL on the Global in Jest. Something like

describe('download', () => {
  const documentIntial = { content: 'aaa' };
  global.URL.createObjectURL = jest.fn();
  it('msSaveOrOpenBlob should not have been called when navigao is undefined', () => {
    global.URL.createObjectURL = jest.fn(() => 'details');
window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob = jest.fn(() => 'details');
download(documentIntial);
expect(window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
  });
});

This should result in a test that you can also use for checking if global.URL.createObjectURL was called. As a side note: you may also run into a similar issue with window.open I would suggest mocking that as well if this becomes the case.
