npm test -- --coverage never exits
-- --coverage
part won't work, and should use one of the commands below to set CI
to true
.
By default npm test runs the watcher with interactive CLI. However, you can force it to run tests once and finish the process by setting an environment variable called CI.
Windows (cmd.exe)
set CI=true && npm test
set CI=true && npm run build
Windows (Powershell)
($env:CI = "true") -and (npm test)
($env:CI = "true") -and (npm run build)
Linux, macOS (Bash)
CI=true npm test
CI=true npm run build
NOT included in the docs
For Docker (node and react):
docker run -e CI=true [myImage] npm run test
Coverage won't work with Jest in watch mode.
Because "react-scripts test --env=jsdom" works in watch mode by default, the watch mode has to be switched off while generating the coverage output.
The following excerpt from the package.json contains a line "coverage" for illustration, how code coverage can be achieved within an app which was bootet by create-react-app.
It's just the modified "test" script, where the options --watchAll=false and --coverage are added in combination:
"scripts": { "start": "react-scripts start", "build": "react-scripts build", "test": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom", "coverage": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom --watchAll=false --coverage", "eject": "react-scripts eject" }
Please note that it is obsolete to use standalone double-dash -- .
Most of the time this issue can be occur because of following reasons.
Not mentioning the required
npm-script
arguments in thepackage.json
file. If you usecreate-react-app
to create yourreact application, then it will not accept any command linearguments. To resolve this problem, add following line under thescript
tag in yourpackage.json
."test": "react-scripts test --coverage --watchAll", //mark --watchAll=false if you want.
Not mentioning the required
jest
configuration arguments inthepackage.json
orjest.config.js
files. You should mention the fileswhich needed to include in your test coverage under the jestconfigurations. Add following configurations in yourpackage.json
.
package.json
"jest": { "collectCoverageFrom": [ "src/**/*.js", "!src/index.js", // files you need to avoid in test coverage "!src/hooks/*.js", "!src/context/*.js" ], "coverageThreshold": { "global": { "branches": 90, "functions": 90, "lines": 90, "statements": 90 } }, "coverageReporters": [ "html", "text" ] },
