When sfdx-lwc-jest is installed globally, tests run with mocked Apex Method are failing

Description

When sfdx-lwc-jest is installed globally, tests run with mocked Apex Method are failing

Steps to Reproduce

From the root of a SFDX Project with LWC tests using mocked Apex Method

example of mocking code in one of the lwc/tests/*.test.js files :
// Mock myMethod Apex wire adapter
jest.mock(
'@salesforce/apex/myController.myMethod',
() => {
const {
createApexTestWireAdapter
} = require( '@salesforce/sfdx-lwc-jest' );
return {
default: createApexTestWireAdapter( jest.fn() )
};
},
{ virtual: true }
);

If sfdx-lwc-jest is installed globally

example of installation command-line :
npm install @salesforce/sfdx-lwc-jest --location=global --omit=dev

When running the command-line "sfdx-lwc-jest", tests with mocked Apex Method are failing.

Version

@renatoliveira already mentioned this "global install issue" in #76

I did several tests. When sfdx-lwc-jest is installed locally (e.g. : npm install @salesforce/sfdx-lwc-jest --local --omit=dev) everything works fine.

Very important : I don't want to install sfdx-lwc-jest on each sfdx project. Or, at least, I want to install locally as few modules as possible if none is not an option.

Thanks in advance for your time & help.

In addition, when sfdx-lwc-jest is installed globally, the "jest.config.js" file is not correctly interpreted.

sfdx-lwc-jest

Here too, when sfdx-lwc-jest is installed locally everything works fine.
