Jest encounters issues while attempting to execute TypeScript test cases

Encountering an error while trying to execute tests in a repository that has a dual client / server setup. The error seems persistent and I'm unable to move past it.

Repository structure:

package.json
jest.config.js
tsconfig.json
server/ <- Tests files run here (basic express app in typescript)
client/ <- CRA output in typescript, Jest tests work fine here

jest.config.js

module.exports = {
  roots: ["<rootDir>/server"],
  testMatch: null,
  transform: {
    "^.+\\.(ts|tsx)$": "ts-jest",
  },
  testRegex: [],
  preset: "ts-jest",
};

tsconfig.json:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
      "target": "ES2020",
      "module": "commonjs",
      "outDir": "./build",
      "rootDir": "./server",
      "strict": true,
      "moduleResolution": "node",
      "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
      "esModuleInterop": true,
      "resolveJsonModule": true,
      "skipLibCheck": true,
      "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true
    },
    "include": [
      "./server"
    ],
    "exclude": [
      "client"
    ]
  }

The app works as expected when directly compiled / run.

Dependencies:

  
"dependencies": {
    "@kubernetes/client-node": "^0.14.3",
    "body-parser": "^1.18.3",
    "connect": "^3.7.0",
    "cors": "^2.8.5",
    "cronstrue": "^1.112.0",
    "express": "^4.17.1",
    ...
},
"devDependencies": {
    "@babel/core": "^7.13.16",
    "@types/yamljs": "^0.2.31",
    ...
}

Struggling with this issue for some time now, any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Answer №1

It appears that the problem stemmed from a peculiar glitch in the package-lock.json. Deleting both the node_modules/ folder and the package-lock.json file and performing a clean reinstall resolved the issue. It's unclear how things became distorted, but resetting them seemed to do the trick.
