Problems i faced with JEST

Jest slow on WSL2

I moved my project from Windows Desktop to Linux Home and the tests became faster.

Jest not watching file changes on WSL2

This is related to watchman and inotify, i just moved my project from Windows Desktop to Linux home and watch mode start to work. This ocours because inotify doesn't work correctly ousite a linux file system. Issue Here

Hi @mohemos I moved the files to the Linux file system as advised on this thread and then did the following on WSL: sudo chown -R [username]:[group] [directory_name] example: sudo chown -R cartman:cartman projects Extra info: I'm using Remote WSL on VS code. To check the user VS code uses I opened a remote terminal inside VS code and typed: whoami To check your group: groups This is for Ubuntu But it may vary depending on the Linux dist you're using Hope this helps
