Version 0.2.88 breaks testing Yjs with react-scripts test

[krotovic]

Describe the bug
When running tests for Yjs with react-scripts test, import of lib0/webcrypto inside lib0/dist/random.cjs causes test failure with "SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'".

 FAIL  src/yjs.test.js
  ● 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

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create empty CRA project with npx create-react-app example-app
2. Add dependencies via npm add yjs@13.5.50
3. Create test src/yjs.test.js with the content:

const yjs = require('yjs');

describe('yjs', () => {
    it('fails', () => {
        expect(yjs).toBeDefined();
    });
});

4. Run tests with npm run test -- --watchAll=false
5. See error

Expected behavior
The test should not fail.

Environment Information

• Node.js
• lib0@0.2.88, yjs@13.5.50

Additional context
I created public repository for reproducing the issue in https://github.com/krotovic/lib0-webcrypto-jest-fail

Thanks for the repository! I fiddled around with it a bit.

I don't think 0.2.88 broke jest. It probably broke when webcrypto was introduced to lib0.

lib0 makes a lot of use of the package exports feature to link to "native" alternatives (the browser uses browser webcrypto, nodejs uses nodejs apis).

package.json exports is a stable feature of nodejs. Pretty much all module bundlers support it. They are very useful.. I'm sorry that they are not well supported in jest..

My best bet would be to try explicitly setting a mapping from lib0/webcrypto to the desired file:

I tried explicitly mapping lib0/webcrypto to the cjs file by setting moduleNameMapper:

  // jest.config.js
  moduleNameMapper: {
    'lib0/webcrypto': '<rootDir>/node_modules/lib0/dist/webcrypto.cjs'
  }

However, when I set a custom jest config, I can't start using react-scripts anymore.

If you find a solution, it would be great if you could post it here, as it could help others!
