I'm trying to use a different .env file for my Jest tests, but so far I couldn't make it work.
package.json:
{
"name": "task-manager",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"module": "main.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "node -r esm src/index.js",
"dev": "nodemon -r esm -r dotenv/config src/index.js dotenv_config_path=./config/.env",
"test": "jest --setupFiles dotenv/config --watch"
},
"jest": {
"testEnvironment": "node"
},
"keywords": [],
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"@sendgrid/mail": "^6.3.1",
"bcryptjs": "^2.4.3",
"dotenv": "^6.2.0",
"esm": "^3.2.10",
"express": "^4.16.4",
"jest": "^24.3.1",
"jsonwebtoken": "^8.5.0",
"mongodb": "^3.1.13",
"mongoose": "^5.4.17",
"multer": "^1.4.1",
"sharp": "^0.21.3",
"supertest": "^4.0.0",
"validator": "^10.11.0"
},
"devDependencies": {
"@babel/core": "^7.3.4",
"@babel/preset-env": "^7.3.4",
"babel-jest": "^24.3.1"
}
}
Every time I ran my npm test, the MONGODB_URL used was the stored in my .env file, instead of my test.env file
I created a config folder to store my .env dev file to avoid this, but now my app doesn't use the env vars when I run the Jest.
I setup a config path in my dev script, but I couldn't do the same with Jest.
Expected behavior: I just want to use a different MONGODB_URL for my tests with Jest.
