The simplest and most effective approach involves using the devastion/neotest-node plugin. Create a configuration file at ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/neotest-node.lua
Configuration
return {
"nvim-neotest/neotest",
dependencies = {
"nvim-neotest/nvim-nio",
"nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
"nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
"devastion/neotest-node",
},
config = function()
require("neotest").setup({
adapters = {
require("neotest-node"),
},
})
end,
}
The configuration specifies neotest as the core framework with neotest-node as the adapter for Node.js test execution. All required dependencies are declared and initialized during plugin setup.
Additional dotfiles and configurations are available in the author’s GitLab repository.
