Behavior

With version 5.1 of this plugin I'm not able to debug the tests anymore. With version v4.6.0 it was possible to debug the tests.

I saw that the command line for running the tests did change: v4.6.0:

PS C:\repositories\myProject>  C:; cd 'C:\repositories\myProject'; ${env:NODE_OPTIONS}='--require "c:/Users/mstolpe/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/resources/app/extensions/ms-vscode.js-debug/src/bootloader.bundle.js" --inspect-publish-uid=http'; ${env:VSCODE_INSPECTOR_OPTIONS}='{"inspectorIpc":"\\\\.\\pipe\\node-cdp.31144-4.sock","deferredMode":false,"waitForDebugger":"","execPath":"C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe","onlyEntrypoint":false,"autoAttachMode":"always","fileCallback":"C:\\Users\\mstolpe\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\node-debug-callback-408ed9fbf17fa557"}'; & 'C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe' '.\node_modules\jest\bin\jest' '--runInBand' '--watchAll=false' '--testNamePattern' '.*' '--runTestsByPath' 'C:\repositories\myProject\tests\unit\myTest.spec.ts'

v5.1.0:

PS C:\repositories\myProject>  ${env:NODE_OPTIONS}='--require "c:/Users/mstolpe/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/resources/app/extensions/ms-vscode.js-debug/src/bootloader.bundle.js" --inspect-publish-uid=http'; ${env:VSCODE_INSPECTOR_OPTIONS}='{"inspectorIpc":"\\\\.\\pipe\\node-cdp.35324-1.sock","deferredMode":false,"waitForDebugger":"","execPath":"C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe","onlyEntrypoint":false,"autoAttachMode":"always","fileCallback":"C:\\Users\\mstolpe\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\node-debug-callback-bc64ae59dd403a5d"}'; & 'C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe' '.\node_modules\.bin\jest.cmd' '--runInBand' '--watchAll=false' '--testNamePattern' '.*' '--runTestsByPath' 'C:\repositories\myProject\tests\unit\myTest.spec.ts'

This is the output:

Debugger attached.

node -v: 16.10 npm -v 7.24.0 OS: Macos Ventura 13.0

Shoot, yes, looks like there is a problem... This looks like an auto-config issue. It used .\node_modules\.bin\jest.cmd instead of .\node_modules\jest\bin\jest.

You can workaround this by clone the auto-config vscode-jest-tests.v2 to launch.json (see https://github.com/jest-community/vscode-jest#how-to-debug-tests), then changing the program path jest.cmd to jest. Or downgrade to 4.6 until the patch is ready.

[update] Actually, the easiest workaround might be to just add an "test": "jest" script in package.json then reload the window.

I will take a closer look tomorrow to see how we can patch it soon.

We just released v5.2.1 pre-release with the fix. Please give it a try and let us know how it works for you.

It works. Thank you!
