Cannot import modules into detox test file
Description
Detox throws an error when I try to import into my test file from a common JS file.
I have tried a variety of solutions on the internet and haven't been able to get this working. Currently flying blind without tests so it's kind of an emergency to get this up again.
This is the only solution I've seen related to the specific issue of importing into test specs but I have no idea how to implement it: https://github.com/wix/Detox/issues/1873#issuecomment-854704442
Error:
● Test suite failed to run
Jest encountered an unexpected token
Jest failed to parse a file. This happens e.g. when your code or its dependencies use non-standard JavaScript syntax, or when Jest is not configured to support such syntax.
Out of the box Jest supports Babel, which will be used to transform your files into valid JS based on your Babel configuration.
By default "node_modules" folder is ignored by transformers.
Here's what you can do:
• If you are trying to use ECMAScript Modules, see https://jestjs.io/docs/ecmascript-modules for how to enable it.
• If you are trying to use TypeScript, see https://jestjs.io/docs/getting-started#using-typescript
• To have some of your "node_modules" files transformed, you can specify a custom "transformIgnorePatterns" in your config.
• If you need a custom transformation specify a "transform" option in your config.
• If you simply want to mock your non-JS modules (e.g. binary assets) you can stub them out with the "moduleNameMapper" config option.
You'll find more details and examples of these config options in the docs:
https://jestjs.io/docs/configuration
For information about custom transformations, see:
https://jestjs.io/docs/code-transformation

Your environment
Detox version: 19.7.1 React Native version: 0.68.2 Node version: 18.2.0 Device model: iPhone 12 OS: iOS Test-runner (select one): jest-circus
@DanielWFrancis if you replace your import with require statements, do the tests work? e.g.
const _ = require('lodash');
-_-
What I did:
install ts-jest yarn add --dev ts-jest
created new tsconfig.spec.json with the same content of tsconfig.json and added
"compilerOptions": { "allowJs": true, }
and added this to the config of detox
"globals": {
"ts-jest": {
"tsconfig": "tsconfig.spec.json"
}
},
"transform": {
"\\.[jt]sx?$": "ts-jest"
},

Just bumping this so it doesn't get closed. Seeing the same issue on Detox 19.12.1, Jest 28.1.3, ts-jest 28.0.8.
Hello, I'm getting the same issue in a project without Typescript. Any idea on how to tackle it?
EDIT: This only happens from Jest version 28.0.0 onwards. With Jest 27.5.1 the transforms work as expected.
Hello everyone, I recently encountered a similar problem and I was missing a detox preset "preset": "ts-jest", in e2e/config.json . If you don't already have it, I recommend giving it a shot and seeing if it works for you as well.
not working too 😔 I've tried all methods mentioned here
Here's the repo which is just a new RN project. If possible, please someone to help. Thanks!

Same here with TS project and JS tests
@Janaka-Steph basically you need to add a transformer and install ts-jest and typescript in your project:
https://github.com/wix/Detox/blob/next/examples/demo-react-native/e2e/jest.config.js#L11-L13
@noomorph I tried ts-jest but without success. Can I keep JS tests if I have TS project or TS tests are mandatory?
Yes but you need to configure your typescript project properly
@noomorph I copied the exact same config and lib versions of /examples/demo-react-native on next branch, and still the same issue.
What I did: install ts-jest
yarn add --dev ts-jestcreated newtsconfig.spec.jsonwith the same content of tsconfig.json and added"compilerOptions": { "allowJs": true, }and added this to the config of detox"globals": { "ts-jest": { "tsconfig": "tsconfig.spec.json" } }, "transform": { "\\.[jt]sx?$": "ts-jest" },
Our problem was that even if we had .js tests, we have used ES6 import in the e2e/ testfiles.
The above was almost the solution, however, we just re-used the existing tsconfig.json file, and some change to avoid warnings on the changed configuration of globals.
Our e2e/config.json file looks like this:
{
"maxWorkers": 1,
"testEnvironment": "./environment",
"testRunner": "jest-circus/runner",
"testTimeout": 270000,
"testRegex": "\\.e2e\\.js$",
"reporters": [
"detox/runners/jest/streamlineReporter"
],
"testSequencer": "./testSequencer.js",
"transform": {
"\\.[jt]sx?$": [
"ts-jest",
{
"tsconfig": "tsconfig.json"
}
]
},
"verbose": true
}

The issue has been closed for inactivity.
This is still an issue. None of the suggested solutions worked.
"detox": "20.1.0",
"react-native": "0.70.2",
"jest": "29.3.1",
@owens-ben I need a reproduction repo. Usually this problem is outside of Detox scope, it is just about configuring Jest transformers.
I believe this issue is a duplicate of https://github.com/wix/Detox/issues/1873
I was also experiencing the same issue after upgrading to Jest 27/28/29, and resolved it with this suggestion: https://github.com/wix/Detox/issues/1873#issuecomment-1443841477
