I have a project where I've used powerbi-client in some part of my application. When I try to test some other components (which doesn't use powerbi-client) using testing-library/react and run npm test I get TypeError: cryptoObj.getRandomValues is not a function error. Before I was getting crypto_nonexistent error like mentioned in this issue and managed to fix this error by adding crypto to jest globals using craco.
Here's my jest config
Error stack trace:
TypeError: cryptoObj.getRandomValues is not a function
