vscode-jest not supporting projects with Babel

Environment

1. node -v: 10.10.0

2. npm -v: 6.1.0

3. npm ls jest 23.6.0

4. Operating system: Windows

Prerequisite

• are you able to run jest test from command line? yes
• how do yo run your tests from command line? yarn test or npx jest Working fine. It’s also working fine from VS Code terminal.

Steps to Reproduce

Just create any project that using Babel and jest and try to open it in VS Code with this plugin.

Relevant Debug Info

FAIL tests/myCode-test.js

● Test suite failed to run

Jest encountered an unexpected token

I tried to turn on debugging by creating my project/.vscode/settings.json:

{ “jest.debugMode”: true }

But there’s no debug messages in the DevTools console so I can’t get more information.

I tried to add echo in the jest command line itself. I found out that it’s not executing the project’s jest but some other jest I don’t know from where. Maybe this plugin has it’s own special version of jest.

Expected Behavior

To work like from the command line.

Actual Behavior

FAIL tests/myCode-test.js

● Test suite failed to run

Jest encountered an unexpected token

yes, in your project-root > .vscode > settings.json:

{
...
    "jest.pathToJest": "yarn test"
}

how do yo run your tests from command line? yarn test

if you expect the plugin to execute yarn test, please set your jest.pathToJest accordingly, see troubleshooting

Can you post the instructions how to do that?

When I run yarn test everything working fine. I just need a way to make the vscode jest plugin to do the same. The “troubleshooting” section saying something that it’s possible but not how to do it.

Is it “jest.pathToJest”: “yarn test --” ???
