React native customBubblingEventTypes error when running tests - react-native

Question

I am running a simple test to render react native component using enzyme and jest. It's a monorepo setup using lerna for web and mobile with shared components. There is babel, jest config that's shared between packages. The app starts and works successfully using the component that I am testing without any warnings or errors. But for some weird reason when I run a test, I am getting this error
● Test suite failed to run
TypeError: Cannot read property 'customBubblingEventTypes' of undefined

This is the info from react-native info command.

react and #react-native-community/cli is installed in root node-modules as hoisted by lerna in monorepo. maybe that's why the cli says it's not found.
This is a new react native setup with only the babel and shared node_modules as customised changes code. Only the test fails and it would be great if somebody can give insights. Thanks in advance.

This error was related to enzyme and not react native. It looks like though the enzyme website says it can be made to work with react-native, when using other packages like styled-components it never works. https://github.com/enzymejs/enzyme/issues/1436 - In case anyone is interested to follow the conversation in enzyme repo.
I used https://github.com/callstack/react-native-testing-library instead of enzyme for testing react native and it works smoothly!
