Can't find a root directory while resolving a config file path on Jest tests.

[lukaswilkeer]

On test pipeline using default bitbucket-pipelines.yml i'm getting the following error:

Error: Can't find a root directory while resolving a config file path.
Provided path to resolve: test/config.json

What could I do?

Solved. It was a mistake.

What was the mistake? I'm likely making the same one :)

Ya, post the solution. I'm hitting this error. I added a file to the list of setupFilesAfterEnv and now running into this

The file exists. I can't see any obvious link between adding a file to this config entry and suddenly not being able to determine the root dir

This project is from years ago. Seeing the only project that runs jest I needed to set --config flag on the npm test task. In that case, this points to test/config.json.

Running it I don't see any problem.

@Declan Shanaghymaybe seting the --config option solved the issue. If you have any problems after this, try open an issue.

[Declan Shanaghy]

Thx. I do have the `--config` option set. Must be something else :-(

The silly mistake I was making was feeding in `--config jest.config.json` when my config file was actually js. Worth checking if google brought you here ;)

Thank you 😅

This did the trick! My `package.json` file was looking for a js but I am using Typescript so it was TS.
