What is the purpose of jest-loader.js in folder test/loaders?

[paulvanbladel]

Just added jest to a V1 project.
what isjest-loader.js doing?

[paulvanbladel]

I'm asking because I try to add test references to the wallaby.js file:

    tests: ['test/**/*.spec.js', 'src/**/*.spec.js'],

So, tests which are in the src folder rather than only the test folder.
Now what happens is that jest picks up these tests, but wallaby not.

The jest-loader builds tests that you incorporate in your VUE SFC, drops them as bitcopies in a generated relative ./__tests__ folder during HMR I have absolutely NO plan for how to rig wallaby so that it can run these within a vue file.

You should be able to run the dev sever while you run wallaby, and it will pick up on the sfc tests

@nklayman . Not sure what you mean.
I'm in the habit of keeping source files and unit tests together in the src directory, so no separate test directory for unit tests because a unit test always belongs to one file.
So I have my-source-file.js or my-component.vue and my-source-file.spec.js or my-component.spec.js.
Is this a good idea given the fact the apparantly bitcopies are generated relatively in __tests__folder?

@nklayman ok, i got it working with wallaby.
I created a sample here: https://github.com/paulvanbladel/quasar-jest-unit-testing-sample
thanks for the support
