Vscode-jest: Fix support for create-react-app and react-scripts

[seanpoulter]

This is a new issue to aggregate existing issues for supporting create-react-app and react-scripts. The latest node LTS version doesn't install Jest where it's currently expected (in src/helpers.ts). This seems to be the cause of #39, #41, #113, and #125.

--

Environment

1. node -v: 8.9.0
2. npm -v: 5.5.1
3. npm ls react-scripts (if you haven’t ejected): N/A

4. Operating system: Windows 7

5. Extension version: v2.4.1 as of 23af6f0

Steps to Reproduce

The create-react-app User Guide has a section for Updating to New Releases. Instead of installing newer versions of react-scripts, I've used this approach to bootstrap app with each supported version (>= v1.0.0) and confirm the extension doesn't work.

create-react-app app
cd app
npm uninstall react-scripts
npm install "react-scripts@<version>"
code --extensionDevelopmentPath=<...\vscode-jest> .

Expected Behavior

The extension should detect the bootstrapped app.

Actual Behavior

An "Unexpected token" error is thrown when Jest runs without detecting this has been bootstrapped.

Suggested Changes

• Maintain the existing check to support older versions of node/npm
• Detect react-scripts in node_modules/.bin/react-scripts(.cmd)?

I'm getting the Unexpected token error on JSX using react-scripts 1.1.4. Setting jest.pathToJest to npm test -- as a workaround fixes it, but shouldn't it be automatic?

@nickmccurdy thanks for the workaround. @orta this still seems to be an issue BTW, the test runner is using jest directly, instead of going through react-scripts.
