This can be quite frustrating, especially if you're new to configuring Jest or have recently migrated your test setup. This error typically occurs because jasmine is not being included properly in your Jest configuration. Let's dive into the steps to fix this issue.

Step-by-Step Guide

Understanding the Error

Jest is a popular testing framework for JavaScript and TypeScript. It uses jest as its primary test runner. However, it can sometimes refer to jasmine for specific test features, leading to the ReferenceError when jasmine is not available in the environment.

Installing Required Packages

Make sure you have all the necessary packages installed:

ts-jest is a TypeScript preprocessor for Jest, and @types/jest provides type definitions.

Configuring Jest

Ensure your Jest configuration file (jest.config.js or jest.config.ts) is properly set up. Here is a basic setup for a React and TypeScript project:

Setting Up jest.setup.js

Create a jest.setup.js file if you don't already have one. This file will be used to configure the test environment:

This file ensures that any additional setup required by Jest is executed before running tests.

Updating tsconfig.json

Ensure your tsconfig.json includes Jest in the type definitions:

With these steps, the ReferenceError: jasmine is not defined should be resolved, and your Jest setup should function correctly with React and TypeScript.

Conclusion

Configuring Jest correctly is crucial for a smooth testing experience in React and TypeScript projects. By ensuring all necessary packages are installed, configuring jest.setup.js properly, and updating your tsconfig.json, you can quickly resolve the ReferenceError: jasmine is not defined error. Happy testing!
