node can be started with various options. Especially interesting is the --inspect
flag:
node --inspect node_modules/.bin/jest some.spec.js
Is it possible to pass the --inspect
flag somehow to yarn run
? For example:
yarn run test --inspect some.spec.js
There is a similar question for npm run
, where it seems to be not possible.
I don't know that yarn run ...
supports passing arguments to NodeJS, however, there are a couple of other options.
You can use the NODE_OPTIONS environment variable to pass arguments to NodeJS. For example,
export NODE_OPTIONS="--inspect"
yarn run test some.spec.js
In the package.json, you can define a script to take advantage of this:
"scripts": {
"test": "jest",
"test:inspect": "NODE_OPTIONS='--inspect' yarn run test"
}
And as you mentioned, you can use NodeJS directly,
node --inspect ./node_modules/jest-cli/bin/jest.js some.spec.js
As far as I know, those may be your only two options. However, both options work for both NPM and Yarn.
