path resolve method mocking with Jest

I want to mock the resolve method that is part of the "path" module. I am using it in a method and i want to mock the response of path.resolve(filepath) so i can write some unitTests based on that.

You can jest.spyOn(object, methodName) to mock path.resolve method.

E.g. main.ts:

import path from 'path';

export function main(filepath) {
  return path.resolve(filepath);
}

main.test.ts:

import { main } from './main';
import path from 'path';

describe('61419093', () => {
  it('should pass', () => {
    const resolveSpy = jest.spyOn(path, 'resolve').mockReturnValueOnce('/fakepath');
    const actual = main('/root/avatar.jpg');
    expect(actual).toBe('/fakepath');
    expect(resolveSpy).toBeCalledWith('/root/avatar.jpg');
    resolveSpy.mockRestore();
  });
});

unit test results with 100% coverage:

 PASS  stackoverflow/61419093/main.test.ts (12.631s)
  61419093
    ✓ should pass (4ms)
