Jest doesn't run — hangs indefinitely

问题:

I was originally having this problem with create-react-app, so I did really bare bones setup just of jest:

1. created new directory
2. yarn init in that directory
3. yarn add jest

4. created new file sum.js:

      function sum(a, b) {
         return a + b;
      }
      module.exports = sum;
   

5. created file to test above function

   const sum = require('./sum');
   
   test('adds 1 + 2 = 3' , () => {
       expect(sum(1,2)).toBe(3);
   });
   

6. added to package.json:

   "scripts": {
   "test": "jest"
   

   },

But when I run yarn test, I get this:

terry@terry-sharewalker:~/myProjects/test-jest$ yarn jest
yarn run v1.13.0
$ /home/terry/myProjects/test-jest/node_modules/.bin/jest

and nothing happens from there. It just hangs. The same thing happened with running tests from create-react-app. react-scripts test would show, then nothing.

Here's what I got:

Jest "^24.5.0"
Ubuntu 16.04
yarn 1.13.0
watchman 4.9.0
node 10.15.3

I've reinstalled and upgraded everything I can think of, including npm, node, watchman, linuxbrew, yarn. If anybody can help me I'd be forever grateful!!

回答1:

I was getting the same issue as well. It can be fixed be updating or reinstalling watchman brew uninstall watchman & brew install watchman.

I'm not sure WHY this worked, but it did. I reinstalled some global packages on my system:

npm update npm -g (to 6.9.0)

npm update -g  

this updated: parcel-bundler to 1.12.3

updated watchman: brew update watchman (to 4.9.0)
