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

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