Changing url does not work with Jest

I’m trying to change the window url in my Jest specs and it throws an error. Not sure if this is an issue with the way that Jest has configured jsdom, or a problem with jsdom. A small example:

import jsdom from 'jsdom';

it('works', () => {
  jsdom.changeURL(window, 'https://example.com?foo=butts')
});

I run it like:

$ jest --config config/jest.json spec/js/my_test.js

And get an error:

    TypeError: Cannot set property '_URL' of undefined
      
      at Object.<anonymous>.exports.changeURL (node_modules/jsdom/lib/jsdom.js:64:12)
      at Object.<anonymous> (spec/js/my_spec.js:6:45)

Not really much in the way of custom configuration on our part when it comes to Jest. Using jsdom@9.9.1 and jest@17.0.3.

I am also having a similar issue regarding history (initializing a React app w/ react-router; ran via jest):

(node:1831) TypeError: Cannot read property '_history' of null
    at Window.get history [as history] (/Users/jozsi/Dev/wealthor/node_modules/jsdom/lib/jsdom/browser/Window.js:151:79)

    get history() {
      return idlUtils.wrapperForImpl(idlUtils.implForWrapper(window._document)._history);
    },

I’ll try to allocate some time in setting up a test repo, without jest.

Can you produce a version which does not add properties to the global object? That isn’t a supported configuration. See https://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom/wiki/Don’t-stuff-jsdom-globals-onto-the-Node-global
