"jest.resetAllMocks();" does not work

See original GitHub issue

in the README, you say that jest.resetAllMocks works, but it does not, if I use it, the __STORE__ is always empty even if I setItem() in my tests

localStorage.clear(); for instance works as expected

but when I use jest.resetAllMocks (to clear other mocks of my test) in combination to localStorage.clear();, it does not work anymore

I’m running jest v23.4.2

I had this same issue as well but as per this line I guess .clearAllMocks() is the correct method to use (reference)

I switched to clearAllMocks and now __STORAGE__ seems to be working.

Thanks @daniellizik that worked for me.

More specifically, resetAllMocks breaks the mocks. clearAllMocks clears the mocks (call count, etc) but does not clear the storage. I had to use it in conjunction with localStorage.clear() to fully reset the state between tests.

I’m surprised this has been open for years now, when all that needs to be done is to update the documentation.
