By default jest.mock calls are hoisted by babel-jest...

...this means they run before anything else in your test file, so any variables declared in the test file won't be in scope yet.

That is why the module factory passed to jest.mock can't reference anything outside itself.

One option is to move the data inside the module factory like this:

jest.mock("../utils/userUtils", () => {
  const users = [ /* mock users data */ ];
  return {
    getUsers: jest.fn(() => Promise.resolve(users))
  };
});
jest.mock("../utils/roleUtils", () => {
  const roles = [ /* mock roles data */ ];
  const usersWithRoles = [ /* mock usersWithRoles data */ ];
  return {
    getRolesWithUsers: jest.fn(() => Promise.resolve(usersWithRoles)),
    getRoles: jest.fn(() => Promise.resolve(roles))
  };
});

Another option is to mock the functions using jest.spyOn:

import * as userUtils from '../utils/userUtils';
import * as roleUtils from '../utils/roleUtils';

const users = [ /* mock users data */ ];
const roles = [ /* mock roles data */ ];
const usersWithRoles = [ /* mock usersWithRoles data */ ];

const mockGetUsers = jest.spyOn(userUtils, 'getUsers');
mockGetUsers.mockResolvedValue(users);

const mockGetRolesWithUsers = jest.spyOn(roleUtils, 'getRolesWithUsers');
mockGetRolesWithUsers.mockResolvedValue(usersWithRoles);

const mockGetRoles = jest.spyOn(roleUtils, 'getRoles');
mockGetRoles.mockResolvedValue(roles);

And another option is to auto-mock the modules:

import * as userUtils from '../utils/userUtils';
import * as roleUtils from '../utils/roleUtils';

jest.mock('../utils/userUtils');
jest.mock('../utils/roleUtils');

const users = [ /* mock users data */ ];
const roles = [ /* mock roles data */ ];
const usersWithRoles = [ /* mock usersWithRoles data */ ];

userUtils.getUsers.mockResolvedValue(users);
roleUtils.getRolesWithUsers.mockResolvedValue(usersWithRoles);
roleUtils.getRoles.mockResolvedValue(roles);

...and add the mocked response to the empty mock functions.
