Getting "dispatcher.useContext is not a function" when testing in Jest with hooks

See original GitHub issue

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

Bug?

What is the current behavior?

I know it is still in alpha, so sorry for early posting. When testing components in Jest using react-test-renderer, I am getting dispatcher.useContext is not a function whenever I am trying to use useContext hook.

What is the expected behavior?

Test should pass with no issues.

Which versions of React, and which browser / OS are affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions of React?

16.7-alpha.
