React Native jest test: TypeError: Cannot read property 'unsubscribeFromTopic' of undefined

Question

I'm using react-native-fcm and jest to test my React Native app. I have a pretty basic test, it looks like this:

import 'react-native';
import React from 'react';
import PushController from '../app/PushController';
// Note: test renderer must be required after react-native.
import renderer from 'react-test-renderer';

it('works correctly', () => {
  const tree = renderer.create(
    <PushController />
  );
});

And PushController is somewhat large, so here's the interesting parts

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { AsyncStorage } from 'react-native';
import FCM from 'react-native-fcm';

export default class PushController extends Component {
(...)

  componentDidMount() {
    if (this.notificationListener) this.notificationListener.remove();

    this.notificationListener = FCM.on('notification', (notif) => {

        if (!notif.local_notification) {
          this.notifyUser(notif.coffee);
        }

    });
    FCM.unsubscribeFromTopic('/topics/coffee');
    FCM.subscribeToTopic('/topics/coffee');
  }
(...)

However, when running the test I get

__tests__/PushControllerTest.js
  ● works correctly

    TypeError: Cannot read property 'unsubscribeFromTopic' of undefined

I've tried including lots of stuff in the test, like jest.mock('react-native-fcm') and others, but I can't get it to work at all. I get that jest automatically mocks the library, but I don't understand why FCM is undefined. Any ideas?

I managed to solve it, finally! Simply needed to change my test to

import 'react-native';
import React from 'react';
import PushController from '../app/PushController';
// Note: test renderer must be required after react-native.
import renderer from 'react-test-renderer';
import FCM from 'react-native-fcm'; // <-- This

it('works correctly', () => {
  FCM.unsubscribeFromTopic = jest.fn(); // <-- These two 
  FCM.subscribeToTopic = jest.fn();
  const tree = renderer.create(
    <PushController />
  );
});

To make sure the actual calls are mocked. I did a lot of googling before this, so I'm sure this will be useful for someone.
