I have written some unit test cases to test my SPFx web part using Jest and Enzyme. However, when I ran the tests, I encountered a "Cannot find module" exception on the import statement.

See below error details -

Cannot find module './httpClient/HttpClient' from 'node_modules/@microsoft/sp-http/lib-commonjs/index.js'
  Require stack:
  node_modules/@microsoft/sp-http/lib-commonjs/index.js

  src/webparts/TestWebpart/components/TestWebpart.tsx
  src/webparts/TestWebpart/test/TestWebpart.test.tsx

    Hi @Sharma, Deepak,

    Have you installed Jest and Enzyme? You can install them by following cmdlet

    npm install enzyme enzyme-adapter-react-16 react-test-renderer @types/enzyme --save-dev --save-exact
npm install jest jest-junit ts-jest @types/jest --save-dev --save-exact  

    And also you will need to setup the jest with spfx, please check the following steps in the nice article
