axios-mock-adapter error Error: Response for preflight has invalid HTTP status code 403

Question

I am trying to write unit test by mocking axios api calls. Here is the axios-mock-adapter configuration

import MockAdapter from 'axios-mock-adapter';
import axios from 'axios';

const mock = new MockAdapter(axios);

it('Get User details without errors', async () => {
  const mockData =
    '{"userID": 1234, ...}}';

  const url = '/user/id/560/';
//const url = 'https://example.com/searchuser/user/id/560/'; Also tried with this
  mock.onGet(url).reply(200, mockData);

When I trigger action it calls this API

GET: " https://example.com/searchuser/user/id/560/ "

Here is the complete error log

 console.error node_modules/jest-environment-jsdom/node_modules/jsdom/lib/jsdom/virtual-console.js:29

Can someone help me understand how I can mock the preflight calls as well? I need to use jest with jsdom as the other unit tests need to mimic browser behaviour. Searched a lot but can't seem to find a solution.

I made a mistake in mocking axios. I have created instance of axio for making api calls and was trying to mock axios default instance in the above question. So no mock was applied. Following solve the problem.

import AxiosAPIInstance from '/api/instance';
const mock = new MockAdapter(AxiosAPIInstance );
