RequireActual for a manual mock

Searched everywhere, but couldn't find.

I'm mocking axios in a manual mock __mocks__/axios.js:

let mockAxios = jest.genMockFromModule('axios')
// mockAxios = jest.requireActual('axios')

export default mockAxios

But sometimes I want to use the actual axios implementation (like what the commented out line does).

In my test axios is not used directly. So I tried to undo manual mock for that test suite:

test('200 response', async () => {
    jest.mock("axios", () => jest.requireActual("axios"))
    const response = await getContent('SomeID')
    expect(response.id).toEqual('SomeID');
  })

This doesn't seem to change anything and the test fails because axios.get doesn't return anything useful.

Is there a way to have a test, or a test file where manual mock is not used at all?

I will use jest.dontMock(moduleName) to let specific test cases use the real module implementation.

Don't forget to reset the module registry - the cache of all required modules. jest.resetModules() will do this.

E.g.

__mocks__/axios.js:

let mockAxios = jest.genMockFromModule('axios')

mockAxios.get = jest.fn().mockResolvedValue({ data: 'fake' })

export default mockAxios

main.ts:

import axios from 'axios';

export function main() {
  return axios.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1');
}

main.test.ts:

describe('76428962', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    jest.resetModules();
  })
  test('should mock axios', async () => {
    const { main } = await import('./main');
    const actual = await main();
    console.log(actual?.data);
  });
  test('should not mock axios', async () => {
    jest.dontMock('axios');
    const { main } = await import('./main');
    const actual = await main();
    console.log(actual?.data);
  });
});

Test result:

  console.log
    fake
