I'm trying to mock out RNCamera in a Detox test. However, the mock camera does not override the real implementation.
I followed these instructions and incorporated advice from these posts.
The result is:
I have also tried:
RN_SRC_EXT=e2e react-native run-android
, then detox test
"test-runner": "jest" and calling
jest.mock` in the best bodyRN_SRC_EXT=e2e
with RN_SRC_EXT=e2e.js
rm -rf node_modules; yarn install
etc. My app layout is like (non-test-relevant content excluded):

Mocking with detox and mocking with Jest are 2 different things.
In order to be able to mock third party module with detox, you can create a proxy component provider that will decide what component to use. So that you will be able to load the mocked version for detox testing.
In your case you can create a CameraProvider.js that will just export the real RNCamera:
export { RNCamera } from 'react-native-camera';
Then you will need to create the mocked version CameraProvider.e2e.js alongside the previous file for end-to-end testing with detox:
import React from 'react';
const timeout = ms => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
export class RNCamera extends React.Component {
static Constants = {
Aspect: {},
BarCodeType: {},
Type: { back: 'back', front: 'front' },
CaptureMode: {},
CaptureTarget: {},
CaptureQuality: {},
Orientation: {},
FlashMode: {},
TorchMode: {},
AutoFocus: { on: {} },
WhiteBalance: { auto: {} },
};
takePictureAsync = async () => {
console.log('mock RNCamera takePictureAsync');
await timeout(2000);
return { uri: './static-image.jpg' };
};
render() {
console.log('mock RNCamera render()');
return null;
}
}
Finally, if you have correctly configured your metro bundler in the root folder of your react-native project, you should be able to either build your app or start the bundler (for debug targets) with the RN_SRC_EXT=e2e.js env variable to let the metro bundler know which file extensions it should replace.
