I tried using jest-electron-runner on my react-svg-text tests and it appeared to hang as well.

Node: v7.9.0 OS: Linux

The project with configured jest-electron-runner there - https://github.com/gagarin55/emerald-wallet/tree/jest-electron-runner npm run test command hangs after showing first 2 tests.

Travis CI: https://travis-ci.org/gagarin55/emerald-wallet/builds/291997940

Is any hope to get it work ?

It's hanging for me too, just says RUNS. Would really like to use this!

is everyone on this thread using xvfb and still getting a hung runner?

@andreineculau thanks a ton for the links! I'm using facebook-atom/jest-electron-runner, not this library, but running xvfb solved the hanging issues I was having!

For anyone looking for example code, can see https://github.com/facebook-atom/jest-electron-runner/issues/47#issuecomment-558848756 for what is basically my config.
