Testing configuration runs slow on Windows 10

[SimeonRolev]

Hi,

I purchased the course and didn't change any of the setup, but the test run really slow (3-6s). I use Windows 10 and saw that someone else filed this issue: jestjs/jest#7631. I commented there as well describing my issue in more details, but I don't see much of an activity towards resolving it. Is there a fix that you know of?

Thanks!

I'm afraid I have no more to offer than what is suggested in that issue. Did you try installing watchman?

@SimeonRolev can you try to run jest directly from inside the repo.

"test": "kcd-scripts test",

yarn test is calling kcd-scripts maybe something inside is creating this behavior?

i ll look at it again when i find time

[kentcdodds]

kcd-scripts has a few nice things built-in, but it's unlikely to cause this problem. However, it's possible. You should be able to run npx jest and it'll run all the tests, you can run npx jest --watch to run in watch mode.

[SimeonRolev]

npx jest --watch -> p -> this file. Hit enter multiple times, because the first run is always slow.

I got a dual boot with Ubuntu, so there it is as well:

Odd. Unfortunately I don't have the bandwidth to look into this.

I'll look at it during next week. I am interested to learn how to debug well jest anyway...
