TypeError: getItem is not a function when testing a component with node module hooks

I am learning React, and got stuck in testing one of my components. I use react-use-cart to manage the cart, this is how code looks

import React from "react";
import { Link } from "react-router-dom";
import { useCart } from "react-use-cart";
import PropTypes from "prop-types";

import handleQuantityChange from "../../logic/product/handleQuantityChange";

function AddToCart(props) {
    const {product, styles, loading} = props;
    const { addItem, inCart, getItem, updateItemQuantity } = useCart();
    const productInCart = getItem(product.id);

The test breaks at “productInCart = getItem(product.id)” saying ” TypeError: getItem is not a function”. I’ve been stuck at this for several days, and would really appreciate some help, it’s my first time asking a question, so if you need any more info let me know, thank you.

Also about the test, test breaks on the render stage

import React from "react";
import { render, screen } from "@testing-library/react";
import AddToCart from "../AddToCart";
import { MemoryRouter as Router } from "react-router-dom";
describe("get item is not a function", () => { 
    const product = {
        name: "test name",
        imgUrl: "test image",
        price: 555,
        shipping: 1000,
        id: 55
    }; 
    const styles = []


    beforeEach(() => {
        render(
            <Router>
                <AddToCart product={product} styles={styles}/>
            </Router>
        );
    });

Answer

You are missing CartProvider:

{...}

    beforeEach(() => {
        render(
          <CartProvider>
            <Router>
                <AddToCart product={product} styles={styles}/>
            </Router>
          </CartProvider>
        );
    });
