Feature request to allow __mocks__ to be under __test__ for mocked node_modules. That is, allow mocked node_modules to live in <rootDir> no matter where that resides.
Per the docs, mocked node modules should live in a __mocks__ folder adjacent to node_modules.
However, it currently works if you nest __mocks__ under the <rootDir>. One can put __mocks__ under __test__ and the mocked module will be loaded (as this sample repo illustrates).
Clone this repo, install node modules and run npm test.
