Jest: mocking console.error – tests fails

I ran into a similar problem, just needed to cache the original method

const original = console.error

beforeEach(() => {
  console.error = jest.fn()
  console.error('you cant see me')
})

afterEach(() => {
  console.error('you cant see me')
  console.error = original
  console.error('now you can')
})
