Jest - Test gives an error TypeError: Cannot read property 'then' of undefined

When i the run test it gives me an error TypeError: Cannot read property 'then' of undefined, I've tried to look for some fix on the Docs but i didn't find one to fix this issue, any idea on how to fix this problem will be much appreciated thanks.

contact-actions.js

 export function getContacts() {
      return function(dispatch) {
        dispatch({type: 'GET_CONTACTS_PENDING'})
        axios.get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/contacts', { 
        })
          .then((response) => {
            dispatch({type: 'GET_CONTACTS', payload: response.data})
            dispatch(hideLoading())
          })
          .catch((error) => {
            dispatch({type:  'CONTACT_ERROR', payload: error})
        })
      }
    }


    app.spec.js

    import React from 'react';
    import { shallow, mount } from 'enzyme';
    import renderer from 'react-test-renderer';
    import MockAdapter from 'axios-mock-adapter';
    import configureMockStore from 'redux-mock-store';
    import nock from 'nock';
    import axios from 'axios';
    import moxios from 'moxios';
    import expect from 'expect';
    import thunk from 'redux-thunk';
    import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
    import * as actions from '../src/actions/contact-actions';
    import * as types from '../src/constants/action-types';

    const middlewares = [thunk];
    const mockStore = configureMockStore(middlewares);

    describe('async actions', () => {
      afterEach(() => {
        nock.cleanAll();
      });

      it('creates GET_CONTACTS when fetching contacts has been done', () => {
        const store = mockStore({});

        const contacts = {};

        nock('http://127.0.0.1:8000')
          .get('/api/contacts')
          .reply(200, { body: {  contacts: [{ first_name: 'shadow', last_name: 'madow', phone: 5566, email: '[email protected]' }] } });

        const expectedActions = [
          { type: types.GET_CONTACTS, body: {  contacts: [{ first_name: 'shadow', last_name: 'madow', phone: 5566, email: '[email protected]' }] }}
        ];

        return store.dispatch(actions.getContacts()).then(() => {
          // return of async actions
          expect(store.getActions()).toEqual(expectedActions);
        });
      });
    });

Be sure to return the promise from the anonymous function inside getContacts():

export function getContacts() {
  return function(dispatch) {
    dispatch({type: 'GET_CONTACTS_PENDING'})
    axios.get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/contacts', { // THIS LINE
    })
    ...

Change this:

axios.get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/contacts', {

to this:

return axios.get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/contacts', {

Right now it lacks a return statement and so returns undefined.
