TypeError: cryptoObj.getRandomValues is not a function; unrelated error when using jest

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

126031307-cfe65639-2d21-4d17-a3a6-9165bf660165

Error stack trace:

Expected Behavior

Npm test command should work without any problems because the component that I am testing doesn't rely on powerbi-client.
