JSON file in __mocks__ folder cannot be imported

[freesteph]

🐛 Bug Report

I would like to manual mock a JSON file I'm using:

$ ls src/
  __mocks__/
    data.json
  data.json
  index.js

When I try to run my testsuite, I get the SyntaxError: Unexpected token : on the first key-pair value when the JSON is imported.

To Reproduce

Manual-mock a JSON file.

Expected behavior

Manual mocks should allow JSON files.
