Ask your Question

Hi, I have installed React Native Testing Library and i wanted to test React Navigation as the docs has explained. But i got an error which says TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'config' of 'options' as it is undefined. I wonder if you could help me fix it.

ReactNative: 0.64.1
Jest: 27.0.3
ReactNativeTesting Library: 7.2.0

@pouyarahmti React Native is using @jest/create-cache-key-function 26.5.0 that is incompatible with jest 27

I'm using jest 27 with yarn resolutions on my package.json

"resolutions": {
    "react-native/@jest/create-cache-key-function": "^27.0.2"
 }

if it does not work for you, maybe you should downgrade to jest 26 for now

It didn't work with resolutions but with downgrading to jest 26 everything was running okay. Thanks for your help

See: facebook/react-native#30637. Closing. As a workaround, you can use Yarn's resolutions field and pin "@jest/create-cache-key-function": "^27.0.1"

The solution from @b3coded worked for me, but the necessary step was to remove/add (update) jest package in the project.

@pouyarahmti 's solution worked for me. Had to go to version 26. Basically this means that jest's node --inspect-brk ./node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js --runInBand commadn doesn't work on anything newer than 26. They really should improve their documentation.

For expo users, you can just npm remove jest and expo install jest, and it will install the supported version. It's the recommended way as said in https://docs.expo.dev/guides/testing-with-jest/#installation

maybe it will help someone in 2022.
i figured it out bumping all libraries connected with jest to the same (as jest) version. for me it was:

{
  "devDependencies" : {
     "jest": "^29.3.1",
     "babel-jest": "^29.3.1",
      // should not raise error in runtime but fresh types are fresh
     "@types/jest": "^29.2.3",
     "ts-jest": "^29.0.3",
  }
}
