What happened?

Installed as per guide, went to run detox test and I get:

user@mymac awesomeproject % detox test
17:16:34.833 detox[48462] INFO:  [test.js] DETOX_REPORT_SPECS=true DETOX_START_TIMESTAMP=1656951394826 DETOX_USE_CUSTOM_LOGGER=true jest --config e2e/config.json --testNamePattern '^((?!:android:).)*$' e2e
/bin/sh: jest: command not found
17:16:34.849 detox[48462] ERROR: [cli.js] Command failed: jest --config e2e/config.json --testNamePattern '^((?!:android:).)*$' e2e

Seems detox can't find jest even though it is installed. It works if I install jest globally, but I do not want that.

What was the expected behaviour?

The tests to run.

Was it tested on latest Detox?

• [x] I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces.

More data, please!

I have checked ./node_modules/.bin/jest and that exists as expected.

Update: detox is installed globally and while detox test does not work, the npx detox test does.

Thanks @leepowelldev. It is generally better to run detox with npx. Does running jest free-style (regardless of Detox) work for you?
