chore: migrate from Jest to Vitest for ESM support

[ghiscoding]

• migrating to Vitest so that we can eventually drop ESM builds and this change is required since Jest only supports CJS by default (their ESM support is very experimental and hard to use, so switching to Vitest is in many ways easier).
• another import thing to note is that recommended v8-to-istanbul reporter is acting differently and line counts is different, for example the coverage with Istanbul is for an if and its content but doesn't include the termination } (however it's included with v8) and so for that reason the new codecov report shows nearly 10k more lines

@zewa666 I'm curious, are you using JSDOM or happy-dom with Vitest? My current setup is a mix of both happy-dom and JSDOM, so my Vitest config currently has environment: 'happy-dom' and I also need jsdom-global. There currently 2 problems that I have

1. if I change to environment: 'jsdom', it behaves weirdly, it sometimes execute the unit tests twice and sometimes doesn't complete
2. if I try to remove all JSDOM related, just jsdom-globals now, it fails 31 of my test suites, I will probably have to rewrite a few unit tests since I assume happy-dom might be different compared to jsdom
   • I found @happy-dom/global-registrator which is maybe what I need to replace jsdom-globals. similar to this post, will try tonight after work

So it's a little weird, I have to go with a mix of both, I'll take another look at it tonight but so far the testing only works with the mix config... so are you using happy-dom and/or jsdom?

EDIT

as per this open issue but it looks like it's a known problem with Vite and happy-dom was suggested as an alternative. However I find happy-dom is still kind of incomplete (for example, DOM elements don't include aria labels and others, a couple more issues too)... so if the mix of both works, let's keep that and merge baby merge (1 step closer to ESM only)

[zewa666]

I did not have that issue. besides are you sure jsdom is the problem since you already had it working with jest?

I personally would stay away from happydom due to even less coverage than jsdom, which shows itself especially with testing-library. but if it works for the slickgrid lib itself ... well why not ;)

[ghiscoding]

I wouldn't mind using strictly JSDOM but like I said above when I set it as the environment in Vitest, then some tests aren't passing but when I set it to happy-dom and still use jsdom-global then all is good... It's kinda weird but like you said, if it works then let's keep that setup and forget about it :)

[zewa666]

would you mind creating a branch where only jsdom is acitvated? I'd really like to give it a closer look as it might also show some potential blockers for my own app

[ghiscoding]

it's just this line to change from happy-dom to jsdom

- environment: 'happy-dom',
+ environment: 'jsdom',

[zewa666]

oh ok thought you mentioned adding additional stuff for happydom. I'll give it a try

[zewa666]

@ghiscoding so I've tried switching to jsdom and all tests are passing nicely for me. I dunno, perhaps try to nuke the node_modules folder and a fresh install could be the difference?

[ghiscoding]

@zewa666 hmm that's strange because I tried on work laptop today and same results, I have 202 tests failing with this error

'removeEventListener' called on an object that is not a valid instance of EventTarget.

I didn't think of nuking the node_modules, so I just tried it and still the same result on my side. I think the problem is that I use Custom Events in the project and JSDOM doesn't work well with EventTarget properly with Custom Events because of this JDOM issue, I tried to mock it via this post from the same issue but that doesn't help. So I think that when I set happy-dom, its EventTarget mock is better and so when I mix them both then it passes.

it's also a lot quicker when it passes
