Jest test fails on a jQuery custom widget

I'm trying to test my React component with Jest. My test fails (actually it doesn't even run) because I use a custom jQuery UI widget for the form in the component. I don't need to test that widget with Jest, so I was wondering if there is a way to instruct Jest to skip completely whatever is related to that jQuery widget.

Otherwise if is there a way to make my test run at least!

Thank you in advance for your time.

This is the error that Jest return

● Runtime Error TypeError: $.widget is not a function
