process beforeExit event not called

See original GitHub issue

🐛 Bug Report

beforeExit event is never called.

We are using this event to release resources of a Rust library upon object’s garbage collection, using https://github.com/node-ffi-napi/weak-napi.

To Reproduce

process.on('beforeExit', () => {
    console.log('beforeExit')
})


describe('mytest', () => {

    it('should do stuff', () => {
        console.log('hey')
    })
})

Expected behavior

We should see beforeExit logged.

The same test works fine with Mocha, where beforeExit is successfully called.

As part of my other bug report I went ahead and added a reproduction for this bug as well since they might be related? https://github.com/cowboyd/jest-suite-hooks-on-sigint

Strong agree. Hopefully with Facebook setting this project free this will get some attention.
