Upgrade faker and jest

[Bashamega]

Description

Upgrade Faker.js to v10 and update the test environment to support its ESM-only distribution.

Changes

• Upgrade @faker-js/faker to 10.6.0
• Upgrade Jest to 30.5.1
• Upgrade Node.js to 24.13.0
• Update Jest configuration to support Faker's ESM modules
• Keep the existing Faker-based data generation APIs and categories

Why

Faker v10 is ESM-only, which caused Jest to fail when loading Faker during tests. The updated Node.js and Jest versions provide the required ESM support.

Testing

• Verified the affected CardForm Jest test setup
• Confirmed the project uses compatible versions of Node.js, Jest, and Faker

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests
  • Updated test commands to support projects using ECMAScript modules.
  • Improved compatibility and consistency across standard, watch, and coverage test runs.
  • Refreshed the testing environment to support current test execution requirements.

Jest 30 ECMAScript Modules documentation NODE_OPTIONS cross-env Windows node --experimental-vm-modules

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
To enable ECMAScript Modules (ESM) support in Jest 30, you must configure your environment to use Node&#39;s experimental VM modules feature [1][2]. Because Jest&#39;s ESM support relies on APIs that are considered experimental by Node.js, the following steps are required: 1. Configure Transformers: Ensure that code transformation is either disabled by setting transform: {} in your Jest configuration, or that your transformer is specifically configured to emit ESM instead of the default CommonJS [1][2]. 2. Use the --experimental-vm-modules Flag: You must execute the Node.js process with the --experimental-vm-modules flag [1][2]. This can be achieved by directly calling node with the flag: node --experimental-vm-modules node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js Alternatively, you can use the NODE_OPTIONS environment variable: NODE_OPTIONS="--experimental-vm-modules" npx jest 3. Windows Compatibility: On Windows, setting environment variables directly in terminal commands can cause syntax errors. To ensure cross-platform compatibility, use the cross-env package [3][4][5]. Add it to your test script in package.json as follows: "scripts": { "test": "cross-env NODE_OPTIONS=--experimental-vm-modules jest" } Additional ESM Considerations: - Jest Module Resolution: Jest attempts to follow Node&#39;s logic for activating ESM mode, such as checking the type field in package.json or identifying.mjs,.mts, and.cts files [1][2][6]. - Mocking: Because static import statements are evaluated before code execution, traditional hoisting of jest.mock calls does not work in ESM. Instead, you must use jest.unstable_mockModule for mocking ESM dependencies [1][2]. - Extensions: If you need to treat specific file extensions (such as.jsx or.ts) as ESM, use the extensionsToTreatAsEsm configuration option [1][2]. These instructions are consistent with the current Jest 30 documentation for enabling native ESM support [1][2][3].

<title>ECMAScript Modules · Jest</title> https://jestjs.io/docs/30.0/ecmascript-modules ECMAScript Modules · Jest On this page caution Jest ships with experimental support for ECMAScript Modules (ESM). The implementation may have bugs and lack features. For the latest status check out the issue and the label on the issue tracker. Also note that the APIs Jest uses to implement ESM support are still considered experimental by Node (as of version `18.8.0`). With the warnings out of the way, this is how you activate ESM support in your tests. 1. Ensure you either disable code transforms by passing `transform: {}` or otherwise configure your transformer to emit ESM rather than the default CommonJS (CJS). 2. Execute `node` with `--experimental-vm-modules`, e.g. `node --experimental-vm-modules node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js` or `NODE_OPTIONS="$NODE_OPTIONS --experimental-vm-modules" npx jest` etc. On Windows, you can use `cross-env` to be able to set environment variables. If you use Yarn, you can use `yarn node --experimental-vm-modules $(yarn bin jest)`. This command will also work if you use Yarn Plug&`#39`;n&`#39`;Play. If your codebase includes ESM imports from `*.wasm` files, you do not need to pass `--experimental-wasm-modules` to `node`. Current implementation of WebAssembly imports in Jest relies on experimental VM modules, however, this may change in the future. 3. Beyond that, we attempt to follow `node`&`#39`;s logic for activating "ESM mode" (such as looking at `type` in `package.json` or `.mjs` files), see their docs for details. 4. If you want to treat other file extensions (such as `.jsx` or `.ts`) as ESM, please use the `extensionsToTreatAsEsm` option. ## Differences between ESM and CommonJS​ Most of the differences are explained in Node&`#39`;s documentation, but in addition to the things mentioned there, Jest injects a special variable into all executed files - the `jest` object. To access this object in ESM, you need to import it from the `@jest/globals` module or use `import.meta`. import { jest} from &`#39`;`@jest/globals`&`#39`;; jest. useFakeTimers(); // etc. // alternatively import. meta. jest. useFakeTimers(); // jest === import.meta.jest => true ## Module mocking in ESM​ Since ESM evaluates static `import` statements before looking at the code, the hoisting of `jest.mock` calls that happens in CJS won&`#39`;t work for ESM. To mock modules in ESM, you need to use `require` or dynamic `import()` after `jest.mock` calls to load the mocked modules - the same applies to modules which load the mocked modules. ESM mocking is supported through `jest.unstable_mockModule`. As the name suggests, this API is still work in progress, please follow this issue for updates. The usage of `jest.unstable_mockModule` is essentially the same as `jest.mock` with two differences: the factory function is required and it can be sync or async: import { jest} from &`#39`;`@jest/globals`&`#39`;; jest. unstable_mockModule(&`#39`;node:child_process&`#39`;, () => ({ execSync: jest. fn(), // etc. })); const { execSync} = await import(&`#39`;node:child_process&`#39`;); // etc. ## Module unmocking in ESM​ esm-module.mjs export default () => { return &`#39`;default&`#39`;; }; export const namedFn = () => { return &`#39`;namedFn&`#39`;; }; esm-module.test.mjs import { jest, test} from &`#39`;`@jest/globals`&`#39`;; test(&`#39`;test esm-module&`#39`;, async () => { jest. unstable_mockModule(&`#39`;./esm-module.js&`#39`;, () => ({ default: () => &`#39`;default implementation&`#39`;, namedFn: () => &`#39`;namedFn implementation&`#39`;, })); const mockModule = await import(&`#39`;./esm-module.js&`#39`;); console. log(mockModule. default()); // &`#39`;default implementation&`#39`; console. log(mockModule. namedFn()); // &`#39`;namedFn implementation&`#39`; jest. unstable_unmockModule(&`#39`;./esm-module.js&`#39`;); const originalModule = await import(&`#39`;./esm-module.js&`#39`;); console. log(originalModule. default()); // &`#39`;default&`#39`; console. log(originalModule. namedFn()); // &`#39`;namedFn&`#39`; /* !!!

Instead, my Windows dev environment (VS Code + Git Bash + Yarn) turned a simple testing setup into a week-long debugging saga. Here’s how I cracked Jest configuration for ES6 modules when Stack Overflow, AI chatbots, and blogs fell short. ### The Problem: Windows vs. ES6 Modules My modern stack used ES6 imports: ``` import express from "express";import cors from "cors";import bodyParser from "body-parser"; ``` But when I ran tests: ``` yarn test ``` Two stubborn errors kept appearing:1. SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module2. ReferenceError: jest is not defined ### The Failed Solutions Here’s what didn’t work: 1. Adding “type”: “module” to package.json → Broke other dependencies 2. Using babel-jest with outdated presets → New syntax errors 3. Replacing import with require → Undermined ES6 consistency 4. Stack Overflow’s top-voted answers → Mostly outdated or for Linux/Mac environments ### The Working Solution After combing through Jest’s documentation, here’s the configuration that finally worked: 1. Critical Dependencies ``` yarn add -D jest cross-env ``` 2. package.json additions important for jest to process your ES Modules files. ## Get Chinonso Udonne’s stories in your inbox Join Medium for free to get updates from this writer. Subscribe Subscribe Remember me for faster sign in First to your scripts field: ``` // package.json{ ... "scripts": { ... "test": "cross-env NODE_OPTIONS=--experimental-vm-modules jest --runInBand --detectOpenHandles --forceExit" }, ...} ``` Then add a jest field: ``` // package.json{..."jest": { "transform": {}, "setupFiles": [ "<rootDir>/test-setup.js" ] },...} ``` 3. Create a test-setup.js at the root of your project and add the following to make jest available and accessible in your test files: ``` // test-setup.jsimport { jest } from "`@jest/globals`";global.jest = jest; ``` Optionally: You can also add your mocked modules configurations in this file using jest.unstable_mockModule(), for example ``` // test-setup.jsjest.unstable_mockModule("./src/authApp/utils/AuthMiddleware.js", () => ({ authUser: jest.fn((req, res, next) => { req.user = { userId: "507f1f77bcf86cd799439011" }; next(); }),})); ``` 4. Reconfigure your express app initialization file using a Factory Function Pattern if not already done so you can dynamically import it into your test files, for example: It also allows for further maneuverability and integrations ``` // app.jsexport async function setupApp() { const app = express(); app.use(express.json()); ... return app;} ``` 5. Configure your test file by dynamically importing your setupApp function ensuring proper ininitialization and clearing of mocks: ``` // taskApp.test.jsimport request from "supertest";describe("Task API", () => { let app; beforeAll(async () => { const { setupApp } = await import("../../app.js"); app = await setupApp(); }); test("GET /api/task-backend/task", async () => { const response = await request(app).get("/api/task-backend/task"); expect(response.status).toBe(201); });}); ``` Remember not to explicitly import jest into your test files as we have already done that in the test-setup.js, and importing jest again would cause errors!

Use a cross-platform ESM test command and preserve inherited options.

If Windows is a supported development platform, these scripts cannot run through the Windows shell, and the POSIX assignment replaces inherited NODE_OPTIONS. Jest documents the direct Node invocation:

-    "test": "NODE_OPTIONS=--experimental-vm-modules jest",
-    "test:watch": "NODE_OPTIONS=--experimental-vm-modules jest --watchAll",
-    "test:coverage": "NODE_OPTIONS=--experimental-vm-modules jest --coverage"
+    "test": "node --experimental-vm-modules node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js",
+    "test:watch": "node --experimental-vm-modules node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js --watchAll",
+    "test:coverage": "node --experimental-vm-modules node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js --coverage"

The repository CI currently runs on Ubuntu, so retain the existing commands only if Windows is explicitly unsupported.
