Cannot determine how Jest is skipping tests

[amandapouget]

When I run Jest in watch mode and hit "a" (to run all tests), Jest still skips 18 test files. I cannot find anything anywhere in my code that would explain how or why it is doing this.

I welcome suggestions. Not sure what code even to put up in reporting this, as my test files show nothing interesting (no Jest settings or anything like that).

Hey @mandysimon88. Why are you not sticking to the issue template?
Does skip means it doesn't see them, or mark as skipped? If the former is true – it's your testRegex or testMatch not picking up these files, if the latter – you have tests without function as a second argument. Closing.

I didn’t use the template because my question was straightforward. I chose to post it here rather than StackOverflow because I’m convinced I can’t be the only person who will have this problem with Jest. It’s not the testRegex, because this only happens on my machine. Fresh install of our repo, Jest etc. Everyone else on the project is able to run all the tests… Just trying to figure out “other”, non-obvious reasons Jests would skip so many files.

Is your project in a folder that is ignored by Jest, like node_modules or a cache directory or something like that?

[adambergere]

i'm having a similar issue with Jest. Is there a place to check how it's choosing which files to ignore?

[SimenB]

If you do jest path/to/file.js it will usually print why it's ignored

[ryanflorence]

Same, I'm seeing 6 skipped tests, I'm pointing at my tests folder, so there shouldn't be anything weird it's picking up, my code doesn't have .skip anywhere.

[SimenB]

Do you have an example of a skipped test?

If you point jest directly at a test file with skipped tests, are they still skipped?

[drdpedroso]

I'm having the same issue here, already deleted the cacheDirectory and the tests are also skipped when pointing directly to the test file.

Here's one sample

import React from 'react'
import StarRatingComponent  from '../../../../src/components/common/starRatingComponent'
import renderer from 'react-test-renderer'
import {expect} from 'chai'
import {shallow} from 'enzyme'

describe('<StarRatingComponent />', () => {
    it('should render correctly'), () => {
        const component = renderer.create(<StarRatingComponent/>)
        expect(component).toMatchSnapshot()   
    }
    it('should change state'), () => {
        const component = shallow(<StarRatingComponent/>)
        component.instance().rate(1)
        expect(component.state().rating).to.equal(1)   
    }
})

Can you paste in the output from jest when skipping?

[drdpedroso]

After that, it only shows my coverage table

My jest version is v21.2.1

[SimenB]

Oh, I see it.

it('should render correctly'), () => { has a closing paren it shouldn't

[drdpedroso]

lol! My bad, thanks @SimenB !

Similar issue. No .only or .skip tags. Running jest --verbose does not seem to indicate which tests were skipped either. There was some discussion a while back on this PR about filtering output for skipped tests. At the time, it sounded like there would be an --expand flag (although I'm not sure how that differs from --verbose) to show the filtered output.

Am I missing something? Seems like there should be a way to figure out which tests are being skipped without hunting for missing parens.

Can you provide a repro?
