Módulos ECMAScript

atenção

Jest vem com suporte experimental para Módulos ECMAScript (ESM).

A implementação pode haver bugs e falta de recursos. For the latest status check out the issue and the label on the issue tracker.

Também note que, as APIs que o Jest usa para implementar o suporte ESM ainda são consideradas experimentais pelo Node (como da versão 18.8.0).

With the warnings out of the way, this is how you activate ESM support in your tests.

  1. Certifique-se de desativar code transforms passando transform: {} ou configurando seu transformador para emitir ESM em vez do CommonJS padrão (CJS).

  2. Execute node with --experimental-vm-modules, e.g. node --experimental-vm-modules node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js or NODE_OPTIONS="$NODE_OPTIONS --experimental-vm-modules" npx jest etc.

    No Windows, você pode utilizar cross-env, para definir as variáveis de ambiente.

    Se você utiliza o Yarn, poderá usar yarn node --experimental-vm-modules $(yarn bin jest). This command will also work if you use Yarn Plug'n'Play.

    If your codebase includes ESM imports from *.wasm files, you do not need to pass --experimental-wasm-modules to node. Current implementation of WebAssembly imports in Jest relies on experimental VM modules, however, this may change in the future.

  3. Beyond that, we attempt to follow node's logic for activating "ESM mode" (such as looking at type in package.json or .mjs files), see their docs for details.

  4. Se você deseja tratar outras extensões de arquivo (como .jsx ou .ts) como ESM, por favor, utilize a opção extensionsToTreatAsEsm.

Diferenças entre ESM e CommonJS

Most of the differences are explained in Node's documentation, but in addition to the things mentioned there, Jest injects a special variable into all executed files - the jest object. To access this object in ESM, you need to import it from the @jest/globals module or use import.meta.

import {jest} from '@jest/globals';

jest.useFakeTimers();

// etc.

// alternatively
import.meta.jest.useFakeTimers();

// jest === import.meta.jest => true

Módulo simulado no ESM

Since ESM evaluates static import statements before looking at the code, the hoisting of jest.mock calls that happens in CJS won't work for ESM. To mock modules in ESM, you need to use require or dynamic import() after jest.mock calls to load the mocked modules - the same applies to modules which load the mocked modules.

ESM mocking is supported through jest.unstable_mockModule. As the name suggests, this API is still work in progress, please follow this issue for updates.

The usage of jest.unstable_mockModule is essentially the same as jest.mock with two differences: the factory function is required and it can be sync or async:

import {jest} from '@jest/globals';

jest.unstable_mockModule('node:child_process', () => ({
execSync: jest.fn(),
// etc.
}));

const {execSync} = await import('node:child_process');

// etc.

For mocking CJS modules, you should continue to use jest.mock. See the example below:

main.cjs
const {BrowserWindow, app} = require('electron');

// etc.

module.exports = {example};
main.test.cjs
import {createRequire} from 'node:module';
import {jest} from '@jest/globals';

const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);

jest.mock('electron', () => ({
app: {
on: jest.fn(),
whenReady: jest.fn(() => Promise.resolve()),
},
BrowserWindow: jest.fn().mockImplementation(() => ({
// partial mocks.
})),
}));

const {BrowserWindow} = require('electron');
const exported = require('./main.cjs');

// alternatively
const {BrowserWindow} = (await import('electron')).default;
const exported = await import('./main.cjs');

// etc.
