Jest globals do not support arrays

[fkrauthan]

I usual use webpack in my project. With the help of the define plugin I have a global called __SERVERS__ that contains a array of server urls. The problem is that with jest globals I can not reproduce that effect. If I write something like this:

"__SERVERS__": [
        {
          "label": "local",
          "value": "https://localhost"
        }
      ],

Jest produces (type object):

{"0": {"label": "local", "value": "https://localhost"}}

Which is completely different to the expected value (type array):

[{"label": "local", "value": "https://localhost"}]

That may be an issue with Jest but I think the "globals" field should be deprecated and removed altogether. It isn't very useful.

I recommend creating a file that does:

global.__SERVERS__ = […];

and adding that to your setupFiles.

Ok make sense. Yeah in that case I would remove it from the docs if thats the recommended way anyways.
