No tests found when running Jest under Windows Server 2012 environment

[izikorgad]

No tests found: when running Jest under Windows Server 2012 environment.
The issue is only reproducible when the project path contains space.

My jest configuration is:
node: v6.9.1
npm: 3.10.8
Jest: 18.1.0

Someone here had this exact issue today!

[thymikee]

@mikaelbr fixed something similar recently. Could you help here?

[mikaelbr]

Sure. I can take a stab at it, but I don't think it's related to the previous issue at all.

[jtrein]

Having the same issue in Windows Server 2012. Will get back if we can reproduce.

[jtrein]

After wasting a bunch of time escaping paths. I was able to get tests to run by temporarily copying the project directory to the C:\Users\[USER]\Desktop, running the tests, then removing the directory. The world is happy.

PS - I want to do a PR, but I'm stacked with work. Also, I'm not a Windows dev, and our office is using an EC2 Windows Server for an unrelated build, so we're not tied to it.

Here's some Jenkins output (commands included) if you need some slight inspiration.

I can confirm that the issue is still present with Jest v20.0.1.

[thymikee]

@josalmi does it work with testRegex? It may be an issue with testMatch on Windows

[lippea]

Same problem here. I can run test with "Jest" or "Jest test", but no test match if run with "Jest test/components" Is there any workaround for this? We need to have different setupFiles/testEnvionment for different subfolder. Not sure how to achieve this with this bug.

[mikehdt]

As @lippea mentioned, we encountered this problem. It doesn't seem to be limited to Windows Server 2012; more Windows machines in general. Mac machines are okay. We worked around this for the time-being by using a separate json file, which uses an array of globs (instead of regex, at least as I understand it).

[justinireland]

I was having the same problem on Windows 7 enterprise. I can confirm that the problem was related to having either a space or bracket in the path. Once I removed those the tests would run.

[jtrein]

@mikehdt can you provide your example? I'd prefer your solution over my current one.

[c-vetter]

@mikehdt How do you use that json file? Please share your work-around :)

[jatd]

I'm still dealing with the same issue as @josalmi .

[cpojer]

If you are all running into this issue, please send a PR to fix it for everyone. We don't have Windows 7 machines, so unless you guys send a PR, this won't get fixed :) Thank you.

[isthisstackoverflow]

Confirming problem, not clever enough to solve it. @mikehdt More on that json workaround would be appreciated.

[kevinleedrum]

A workaround for anyone having this problem with jenkins is to set a custom workspace directory for your project under the project's advanced settings. Just set it to a path without spaces (e.g. c:\workspace\my-project).

[thymikee]

I think this is the same problem as #2381. Closing in favor of the other issue. Still looking for help on this one!
