Snapshot Error with Yarn PnP in Workspace Using setupFiles

[custardcream98]

Describe the bug

In the following reproduction, running this script works without any errors:

yarn test

However, the following command throws an unexpected error:

yarn workspace sample test

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'match')
 ❯ snap.test.js:2:20
      1| it("should do inline snapshot test", () => {
      2|   expect("sample").toMatchInlineSnapshot(`"sample"`);
       |                    ^
      3| });
      4| 

If I comment out packages/sample/vitest.setup.js, then yarn workspace sample test runs without errors.

Additional Context

Upon further investigation, I found similar issues mentioned in #3426, but this problem occurs even though all peer dependencies of Vitest are the same in both the root and the workspace.

Here's the result of yarn why vitest (you can try this yourself on CodeSandbox):

➜  workspace git:(master) ✗ yarn why vitest
├─ sample@workspace:packages/sample
│  └─ vitest@npm:2.1.4 [e0fc9] (via npm:^2.1.4 [e0fc9])
│
└─ yarn-issue@workspace:.
   └─ vitest@npm:2.1.4 [71bfa] (via npm:^2.1.4 [71bfa])

It seems like two different virtual folders are created for Vitest, even though all peer dependencies are installed identically. I suspect the issue might be caused by @vitest/ui, which lists vitest as a peer dependency, and vice versa (vitest also has @vitest/ui as a peer dependency).

If I remove @vitest/ui from both the root and the workspace, then the virtual folders for vitest are unified, and the issue is resolved.

In conclusion, this issue might be fixed if the common logic shared between vitest and @vitest/ui is extracted into a separate independent package, which both vitest and @vitest/ui can depend on.

I’m still not sure why the issue is resolved when I comment out the code specified in setupFiles. By tracing the error stack, I found that when setupFiles is used, the snapshot client instance is created using the root vitest, but during the actual test, it attempts to access the snapshot client instance from the workspace’s vitest (just like described in #3426).

I'm not familiar with pnp, but wouldn't @testing-library/jest-dom be also to blame for not having optional peerDependencies: "vitest"? https://github.com/testing-library/jest-dom/blob/918b6fbcde10d4409ee8f05c6e4eecbe96a72b7a/vitest.js#L1
I thought yarn pnp wouldn't allow picking up such ghost dependencies.

Vitest having two way peer dep is not a good thing, but we haven't figured out how to avoid that. Btw, I think we also have an issue with @vitest/browser too.

@hi-ogawa

Thank you for checking!
Yes, @testing-library/jest-dom has ghost dependency issues. Upon checking, it seems like it was initially declared as a peer dependency but was later removed (I'm not entirely sure why this decision was made).

However, Yarn provides a way to manually fix ghost dependencies, and I tried that, but the problem persists.

Hmm, interesting, I thought they had optional peer dep at some point. FWIW, downgrading 6.4.7 seems to work, which is right before they remove peer dep.

@hi-ogawa
yarn workspace sample test works fine, but
yarn test --project sample or justyarn test both still result in the same error 😢

I am also using pnpm workspace and got the same error.

By downgrading@testing-library/jest-dom to 6.4.7, it was resolved.
