Jest Transformer for Svelte 3

In order to unit test Svelte components with the Jest test framework, you need to use a transformer to ensure the Svelte component properly resolves its own component dependencies.

Installation

$ npm install --save-dev jest-transform-svelte

Svelte 2

If you are using Svelte 2, please use version 1 of jest-transform-svelte

$ npm install --save-dev jest-transform-svelte@1

Usage

Simply add the component to the Jest transform configuration

transform: {
    ...
    '^.+\\.svelte$': 'jest-transform-svelte'
},

Preprocessors

If your components use pre-processors (like Typescript or Pug), you'll want to tell jest-transform-svelte about them. Simply pass the same preprocessor configuration you're using for Webpack or Rollup as and optional second argument:

const sveltePreprocess = require('svelte-preprocess');

transform: {
    ...
  '^.+\\.svelte$': ['jest-transform-svelte', { preprocess: sveltePreprocess() }]
},

Debugging

If your Svelte files aren't compiling correctly (maybe you're getting a ParseError: Identifier is expected error), you can try debugging the problem by setting the debug flag to print the compiled version of every processed component.

transform: {
    ...
  '^.+\\.svelte$': ['jest-transform-svelte', { debug: true }]
},

After setting the flag, you can run jest --no-cache to make sure Jest re-runs the transformer on every file.

Example

A sample project is available in the example directory.

Known issues

Sometimes it may be beneficial to give components a little time to complete their task before testing the outcome by adding a requestAnimationFrame (or setTimeout) around the expect in your tests
The reported paths in the coverage summary may become lengthy
The exclusing of modules may not work correctly, if this happens it may be because the babel-plugin-istanbul is active, which overrides your configuration (as it is a dependency to babel-jest), refer to the related issue
