jest-runner-executor v1.0.0

Usage

Install

Install jest(it needs Jest 21+) and jest-runner-executor

yarn add --dev jest jest-runner-executor

# or with NPM

npm install --save-dev jest jest-runner-executor

Add it to your Jest config

Standalone

In your package.json

{
  "jest": {
    "runner": "jest-runner-executor",
    "moduleFileExtensions": [
      /* whatever file you wish to match */
    ],
    "testMatch": [
      /* whatever paths you wish to match */
    ]
  }
}

Or in jest.config.js

module.exports = {
  runner: 'jest-runner-executor',
  moduleFileExtensions: [
    /* whatever file you wish to match */
  ],
  testMatch: [
    /* whatever paths you wish to match */
  ],
};

Please update testMatch to match your project folder structure.

Alongside other runners

It is recommended to use the projects configuration option to run multiple Jest runners simultaneously.

If you are using Jest <22.0.5, you can use multiple Jest configuration files and supply the paths to those files in the projects option. For example:

// jest-test.config.js
module.exports = {
  // your Jest test options
  displayName: 'test',
};

// jest-executor.config.js
module.exports = {
  // your jest-runner-executor options
  runner: 'jest-runner-executor',
  displayName: 'markdown',
  moduleFileExtensions: [
    /* whatever file you wish to match */
  ],
  testMatch: [
    /* whatever paths you wish to match */
  ],
};

In your package.json:

{
  "jest": {
    "projects": [
      "<rootDir>/jest.test.config.js",
      "<rootDir>/jest.markdown.config.js"
    ]
  }
}

Or in jest.config.js:

module.exports = {
  projects: [
    '<rootDir>/jest.test.config.js',
    '<rootDir>/jest.markdown.config.js',
  ],
};

If you are using Jest >=22.0.5, you can supply an array of project configuration objects instead. In your package.json:

{
  "jest": {
    "projects": [
      {
        "displayName": "test"
      },
      {
        "runner": "jest-runner-executor",
        "displayName": "markdown",
        "moduleFileExtensions": [
          /* whatever file you wish to match */
        ],
        "testMatch": [
          /* whatever paths you wish to match */
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Or in jest.config.js:

module.exports = {
  projects: [
    {
      displayName: 'test',
    },
    {
      runner: 'jest-runner-executor',
      displayName: 'markdown',
      moduleFileExtensions: [
        /* whatever file you wish to match */
      ],
      testMatch: [
        /* whatever paths you wish to match */
      ],
    },
  ],
};

Run Jest

yarn test

Options

This project uses cosmiconfig, so you can provide config via:

• a jest-runner-executor property in your package.json
• a jest-runner-executor.config.js JS file
• a .jest-runner-executorrc JSON file

In package.json

{
  "jest-runner-executor": {
    "binaryPath": "/path/to/file",
    "cliOptions": {
      // Options here as key-value
    }
  }
}

The binaryPath must be an absolute path, or the name of a globally installed binary. You can also provide a template variable <rootDir> to reference local paths within your repository.

or in jest-runner-executor.config.js

module.exports = {
  binaryPath: '',
  cliOptions: {
    // Options here as key-value
  },
};

cliOptions

All passed options will be normalized and forwarded to the binary.

Multiple executors

You can configure multiple executors to run with this jest runner. In the jest-runner-executor config file, simply return/export an array of config objects instead of a single one. Important is that each config contains a matchDisplayName with the reference to the displayName used in the jest project config.

For example, given some config to lint markdown files:

// jest.markdown.config.js
module.exports = {
  runner: 'jest-runner-executor',
  displayName: 'markdown',
  moduleFileExtensions: ['md'],
  testMatch: ['**/*.md'],
};

Then the jest-runner-executor.config.js should contain an array of configs with the matching display names:

module.exports = [
  {
    matchDisplayName: 'markdown',
    binaryPath: '<rootDir>/node_modules/.bin/remark',
    cliOptions: {
      quiet: true,
    },
  },
];
