Error when running npm test or npm run lint-test

[mainangethe]

I recently completed the Is Leap for Javascript.

• I tried to run my tests with the command javascript npm test .
• I went to the link provided by the CLI.
• Expected: to see the results of my unit tests,
• Actual: I got a Type Error.

cannot assign to read only property 'Symbol(Symbol.toStringTag)' of object

Here's my "exercism debug":

This is an issue with Node v11.11 - facebook/create-react-app#6591 For now there is no fix apart from downgrading node version.

The project does not seem to use create-react-app. The following was resolved in jest: jestjs/jest#8050

If you use the version of jest and Babel-jest at v24.2.0-alpha.0 or later, you can resolve it. The latest version of best is v24.3.1. 😄

[tejasbubane]

@micalgenus Yes. This project does not use create-react-app and the issue was in Jest. I just happened to find that issue in create-react-app repo and used that issue link.

Alright so we need to update Jest. I tried doing the same after Jest 24 released recently and ran into all sorts of weird issues due to babel 7 (ref) I will give it a try again today.

@micalgenus - I tried installing jest and babel-jest @ v24.2.0-alpha.0

And still getting an error. Now it's saying Cannot find module './leap' from 'leap.spec.js'

And are you certain there is a leap.js file in that directory? Normally you'll have to create this file and write the code in there.

Resolved in Node 11.12

@mainangethe Please fetch new version of the exercise and try again. Reopen this issue if you are still seeing the error. Thanks!

npm run build
chromium tests/testsuite.html
npm run lint

@caledrummond90 I don't know why you posted this in this issue, but there is no build script in exercism/javascript, and no testsuite.html.
