Test if axios is called after a button click

Question

I have a page component which contains a button. Clicking that button triggers the API POST request. I want to be able to test if the axios call was actually triggered. My below code is not working. Any advice would be appreciated :)

it('Check if the api call was made', async () => {
const spy = jest.spyOn(axios, 'request')



const { getByRole, getByText, getByTestId } = render(
  <MemoryRouter>
          <ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
            <ConfirmEmailPage /> // Component with the button
          </ThemeProvider>
  </MemoryRouter>
)


const button = getByText("Didn't receive reset link? Resend it") // Button is detected succesfully and gets logged to the console
userEvent.click(button)
expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalled() // FAIL
})
