Jest Examples - Nx — ContextQMD

Jest can be configured in many ways, but primarily you'll need to at least have the jestConfig options

json

"test": {
  "executor": "@nx/jest:jest",
  "options": {
    "jestConfig": "libs/my-lib/jest.config.ts"
  }
}

It is also helpful to have passWithNoTests: true set so your project doesn't fail testing while tests are still being added.

json

"test": {
  "executor": "@nx/jest:jest",
  "options": {
    "jestConfig": "libs/my-lib/jest.config.ts",
    "passWithNoTests": true
  }
}

Snapshots

Update snapshots running with --update-snapshot or -u for short.

bash

nx test my-project -u

Other times you might not want to allow updating snapshots such as in CI. Adding a ci configuration is helpful for adding this behavior.

json

"test": {
  "executor": "@nx/jest:jest",
  "options": {
    "jestConfig": "libs/my-lib/jest.config.ts",
    "passWithNoTests": true
  },
  "configurations": {
    "ci": {
      "ci": true
    }
  }
}

bash

nx affected --target=test
