      <description>&lt;p&gt;Here is the &lt;strong&gt;UserContext.js&lt;/strong&gt; mock data file&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;`import React, { useState } from 'react';&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;// Create a mock UserContext with default userId as null&lt;br&gt;
const UserContext = React.createContext({&lt;br&gt;
  userId: null,&lt;br&gt;
  setUserId: () =&amp;gt; {}, // Mock function for tests&lt;br&gt;
});&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;// Mock UserProvider to be used in tests&lt;br&gt;
const UserProvider = ({ value, children }) =&amp;gt; {&lt;br&gt;
  const [userId, setUserId] = useState(value?.userId || null);&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;// Always use the provided setUserId if available, otherwise use the internal state&lt;br&gt;
  const contextValue = {&lt;br&gt;
    userId,&lt;br&gt;
    setUserId: value?.setUserId || setUserId,&lt;br&gt;
  };&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;return (&lt;br&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
      {children}&lt;br&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
  );&lt;br&gt;
};&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;export { UserContext, UserProvider };`&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So does the below go above or in the describes if above do I pass the renderComponentWithUserContext to the describe condition as a parameter and each test that uses it? Apologies for the troll, I've just been at this jest failure for days.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;`const renderComponentWithUserContext = (userId = null) =&amp;gt; {&lt;br&gt;
    console.log('Rendering JobDescriptionNavigationMenu with userId:', userId); // Log userId&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;return render(
  &amp;lt;UserProvider&amp;gt;
    &amp;lt;JobDescriptionNavigationMenu /&amp;gt;
  &amp;lt;/UserProvider&amp;gt;
);
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;};`&lt;/p&gt;
