Expected

I expected the tests to run and fail when I ran npm run test -- 1.

Actual

I received this error:

 FAIL  01-syntactic-sugar/index.test.js
  ● Test suite failed to run

    TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property 'performance' of object '[object global]'

      at hijackMethod (../../../node_modules/@sinonjs/fake-timers/src/fake-timers-src.js:946:32)
      at Object.install (../../../node_modules/@sinonjs/fake-timers/src/fake-timers-src.js:1733:17)
      at FakeTimers.useFakeTimers (../../../node_modules/@jest/fake-timers/build/modernFakeTimers.js:110:36)

So I went into jest.config.js.

The original file is:

module.exports = {
    fakeTimers: { enableGlobally: true },
    transform: {
        "^.+\\.(t|j)sx?$": [
            "@swc/jest",
            {
                jsc: {
                    target: "es2021",
                },
            },
        ],
    },
};

I changed it to:

module.exports = {
    fakeTimers: { enableGlobally: false },
    transform: {
        "^.+\\.(t|j)sx?$": [
            "@swc/jest",
            {
                jsc: {
                    target: "es2021",
                },
            },
        ],
    },
};

After changing enableGlobally from true to false, my tests failed the way I expected them to. I then fixed the obvious issues in my code and the tests passed.

Additional Info

I'm not really sure how to document this finding. Again, it should only affect users with node v19. I didn't try this out, but it was recommended in a post.

My node version is v19.9.0.
