Vscode-jest: Getting `ReferenceError: window is not defined`

[bbshih]

Any ideas on fixes or how I can continue to troubleshoot this? It works when I run my tests in the console.

Environment

1. node -v: 8.6.0

2. npm -v: 5.5.1

3. Operating system: Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6

Steps to Reproduce

I have jest configured in my package.json with this:

"setupFiles": [
    "<rootDir>/config/jest/mockLocalStorage.js"
]

And in mockLocalStorage.js I defined a mockLocalStorage class and then do this: window.localStorage = new LocalStorageMock();

Expected Behavior

Run the test normally

Actual Behavior

FAIL src/containers/component.spec.js

● Test suite failed to run

ReferenceError: window is not defined

  at Object.<anonymous> (config/jest/mockLocalStorage.js:16:1)
      at <anonymous>

The default testEnvironment is jsdom which should provide window. Are you specifying anything different for the testEnvironment from the command line options or configuration?

That fixed it. I removed it previously but didn't restart vs code. It worked after restart. Thank you!
