Tests are failing after upgrading react native from 0.69.6 to 0.71.0

[arthedza]

Description

Hello! After the update I started getting the following errors:

TypeError: Cannot redefine property: performance

      at Object.<anonymous> (node_modules/react-native/jest/setup.js:404:20)

TypeError: Cannot redefine property: window

      at Object.<anonymous> (node_modules/react-native/jest/setup.js:405:15)

Everything works fine if I comment out the appropriate lines in file node_modules/react-native/jest/setup.js:

...
global.__DEV__ = true;

// global.performance = {
//   now: jest.fn(Date.now),
// };

global.regeneratorRuntime = jest.requireActual('regenerator-runtime/runtime');
// global.window = global;

global.requestAnimationFrame = function (callback) {
  return setTimeout(callback, 0);
};
...

React Native Version

0.71.0

:warning:

Newer Version of React Native is Available!

:information_source:

You are on a supported minor version, but it looks like there's a newer patch available. Please upgrade to the highest patch for your minor or latest and verify if the issue persists (alternatively, create a new project and repro the issue in it). If it does not repro, please let us know so we can close out this issue. This helps us ensure we are looking at issues that still exist in the most recent releases.

I am also getting this error on a clean install of the Ignite boilerplate when running jest tests. My react-native version is 0.70.5.

I rollback to the previous LTS node version (18) and the issue was resolved for me. Probably, the cause was in the latest node version (19). Looks like the jest setup file of RN is not compatible with that version

i can confirm
it does not work for me on node@19 as well
thanks @arthedza

That was it! Thank you for saving me banging my head against a wall for the next hour. :)

FYI, put something like this in your package.json to prevent your fellow engineers from running into the same problem and to help document it:

"node": ">=16.0.0 <18.16.0"

Then once React Native supports Node 19+, make sure to update this to reflect the new "max" version of Node.

I've been able to replicate this with the current node 18 LTS version (18.16.0) switching back to 18.15.0 seems to work for now.

[timhooker]

I have the same problem and also found locking down to 18.15 was the fix.

[utsavkapoor]

Do we have a fix for this issue. This just hit us after upgrading to 18.16.0

[GroovyLLR]

Had same issue had to lock our Node to 18.15.0, is a pr incoming for this?

[nzcodarnoc]

I have this issue too. node --version = 18.16.0 React Native v0.71.10

[robhogan]

TL;DR: Update Node.js to v18.17.0 or later

This was due to a Node.js bug in 18.16.x, fixed in Node.js 18.17.0 (and 19.9.0) by https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/fb90b6b3fbec0da04be9c6560397a190a329dda0. See also https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/47563.

With some help from @frankcalise I was able to repro and confirm the fix, so I'm closing the issue. If anyone still sees this problem on latest Node LTS, please open a new issue.
