Debugging Jest on VS Code

Question

I\'m trying to debug Jest unit tests using VS Code. I have the following config file settings

\"configurations\": [
    {
        \"name\": \"Debug Jest Te         


        

Answer 1

I am using launch.json based on https://www.basefactor.com/using-visual-studio-code-to-debug-jest-based-unit-tests article, in particular example https://github.com/Lemoncode/jest-vs-code-debugging-example/blob/master/custom-solution-jest-config-file/01-implemented/.vscode/launch.json

The section of launch.json to debug single test (assuming that the configuration is located in ./config/test/jest.json):

{
  "type": "node",
  "request": "launch",
  "name": "Jest debug current file",
  "program": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/jest/bin/jest",
  "args": [
    "${fileBasename}",
    "-c",
    "./config/test/jest.json",
    "--verbose",
    "-i",
    "--no-cache",
    //"--watchAll"
  ],
  "console": "integratedTerminal",
  "internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen"
}
