Enzyme: TypeError: Cannot read property 'ReactCurrentOwner' of undefined when trying to require enzyme-adapter-react-16

[1999]

Current behavior

require("enzyme-adapter-react-16") raises react-dom/server exception

Version

| library | version
| ---------------- | -------
| Enzyme | 3.3.0
| React | 16.3.2

Adapter

• [x] enzyme-adapter-react-16
• [ ] enzyme-adapter-react-15
• [ ] enzyme-adapter-react-15.4
• [ ] enzyme-adapter-react-14
• [ ] enzyme-adapter-react-13
• [ ] enzyme-adapter-react-helper
• [ ] others ( )

I found lots of issues saying that this problem should go away if you start using the same react/react-dom/react-test-renderer version. It's all 16.3.2 in my case but simple require("enzyme-adapter-react-16") raises exception:

My bad. The story behind this bug was that I tried to run preact enzyme tests with preact enzyme adapter. This turned to be a bad idea since adapter for preact is a bit raw, so I installed react/react-dom and enzyme adapter for react@16. But I forgot to remove jest module mappings:

After I did this everything works like a charm.

One more possible cause for this problem which happened to me recently: you're using adapter for React version 16 while your project is using React version 15. Double check that your React and enzyme adapter versions match.
