I’m encountering an issue where Jest console.log statements are not outputting anything in Jest. This was working fine yesterday, but suddenly it’s not working today.
I haven’t made any changes to my configuration or installed any updates. I’m not using the –forceExit option, yet the issue persists.
Ensure that the test environment is correctly configured. Jest may be using a different environment where console.log output is suppressed or redirected. Verify the testEnvironment setting in your jest.config.js or package.json.
For example, if you are using jsdom, you might want to try switching to node to see if that resolves the issue.
// jest.config.js
module.exports = {
testEnvironment: "node", // or "jsdom" based on your needs
};
Check if there are any configurations or test setups that might be redirecting or suppressing console output. Look for any global setup or teardown files, or custom Jest reporters that might affect how console logs are handled. Ensure that no custom Jest configuration is suppressing or filtering console output.
Even though you mentioned no recent updates, it’s worth ensuring that all your dependencies, including Jest, are up to date.
Sometimes issues arise from outdated packages. Run npm update or yarn upgrade to make sure everything is current. Also, consider deleting the node_modules folder and running npm install or yarn install again to reset your dependencies.
