@side/jest-runtime
Custom runtime for Jest which addresses memory leak when using Typescript
NOTE This package was intentionally left as JS instead of being converted to TS because it is only a slight modification of existing Jest code based on this PR
-
Install SWC if you haven't already @swc/core @swc/jest
-
Make sure to configure SWC if you haven't already:
{
"jsc": {
"parser": {
"syntax": "typescript",
"decorators": true
},
"transform": {
"legacyDecorator": true,
"decoratorMetadata": true
}
}
}
-
Install custom runtime: yarn add @side/jest-runtime
-
Use within jest.config.js
:
module.exports = {
transform: {
'^.+\\.ts$': '@swc/jest',
},
runtime: '@side/jest-runtime',
};
Why?
We were seeing memory leaks using ts-jest with node >16.10. When investigating solutions this PR fixing the issue was noticed. Since it hasn't been merged, and we still wanted to share this logic, we created this lib.
