Summary

This is the first release of v4 (#576). This release contains the following features:

• a brand new test result matching algorithm that aims to address all "unknown" test status indicator issues, such as duplicate test names or by using jest.each.

• improve create-react-app and --watchAll detection logic.

• upgrade dependencies to the current version and resolved all known security vulnerabilities.

• many other development tooling changes as well, such as migrating to eslint.

There is a lot of new stuff, so we added quite a few debugging messaging to help diagnose problems. if anything didn't do what you expected, please turn on the debug mode and file issues.

v3.1.0 (Dec 20, 2019)

In this release, we improved accessibility, UI, code coverage, error display and addressed a few frequently reported bugs.

New & Improved

• improve accessibility:
  • replaced the test status indicators from color-differentiated circles to status specific icons
• status bar improvement:
  • more accurately reporting testing running/stopping via jest reporters
  • adopted vscode native spinner
  • will show coverage and watch modes
• improve test error messages:
  • when hovering over test errors, the error message will no longer be arbitrarily truncated.
  • color escape sequences should be gone from all error messages.
• improve test coverage: now coverage can be truly dynamically turn on/off without any customization
• fix space or special characters in path failure bug: the execution commands are now in quotes and executed via shell

For complete list, see Changelog.

Config Change

• code coverage:
  • If you have hardcoded --coverage or --watchAll in your jest command/config for showing code coverage, it is no longer needed. If you want to see code coverage always, just set "jest.showCoverageOnLoad" to true in vscode settings; otherwise it is probably more efficient to toggle on code coverage only when needed.
• jest.enableInlineErrorMessages
  • the default value has changed to false in this release to favor the more completed error message when hovering-over. If you prefer to see inline errors, set this flag to true in vscode settings.

Contributors

There are quite a few changes accumulated since the last release. It's exciting to see help from so many different contributors: @rhalaly, @shruda, @rfgamaral, @jmarceli, @garyking, @vuchl, @tarepan, @connectdotz, @stephtr

Thank you 🙏

v3.0.2

merged from beta releases (3.0.0-pre, 3.0.1-pre), recap:

What is new

One of the main features introduced in 3.0.0 is to support vscode multi-root workspaces, a popular request, especially for monrepo projects.

This release also included many other highly desired features/fixes, such as

• debugger break-point misalignment
• restart commands
• snapshot preview
• test result being ignored (not updating test status indicator)
• improve template-literal test name support

and some internal improvement:

• reduced the extension footprint by 90% (installation/upgrade should be a lot faster)
• applied security patches flagged by github
• added linter for more consistent coding style

see #442 and Changelog for more detail.

Many thanks 🙏 to @escaton, @blikblum, @vdh, @qalex, @connectdotz, @stephtr !

v3.0.1-pre

What is new

• introduced webpack for packaging the extension, which cut the package size from 40M to 4M!
• addressed security vulnerability for dependencies flagged by GitHub

Thanks, @stephtr !

(See more change detail for 3.0.0)

How to run with this pre-release?

1. download vscode-jest-3.0.1.vsix below
2. install the plugin: code --install-extension vscode-jest-3.0.1.vsix
   • this should install the extension to your vscode extensions folder.
3. restart vscode
   • You can then go to the extension tab in vscode and find Jest extension, if it shows "3.0.1" then the installation succeeded.

pre-release

The muti-root change is not trivial, it impacted every component as they all need to be workspace/folder aware now. Thus we created this pre-release for people to play around and help us identify issues sooner. We encourage all users to try 3.0.0 pre-release when possible. (You can always switch back to the official version 2.9.2 if needed).

feel free to file issues or come to discuss with us in #442

How to test with 3.0.0?

1. download vscode-jest-3.0.0.vsix from here
2. install the plugin: code --install-extension vscode-jest-3.0.0.vsix
   • this should install the extension to your vscode extensions folder.
3. restart vscode
   • You can then go to the extension tab in vscode and find Jest extension, if it shows "3.0.0" then the installation succeeded.
