LazyVim setup for NeoTest and Jest

Sat, 20 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The setup involves creating a plugin configuration file that leverages the neotest-jest adapter. Save the following to .config/nvim/lua/plugins/neotest-jest.lua:

return {
  {
    "haydenmeade/neotest-jest",
  },
  {
    "nvim-neotest/neotest",
    dependencies = { "haydenmeade/neotest-jest" },
    opts = function(_, opts)
      table.insert(
        opts.adapters,
        require("neotest-jest")({
          jestCommand = "npm test --",
          jestConfigFile = "jest.config.js",
          cwd = function()
            return vim.fn.getcwd()
          end,
        })
      )
    end,
  },
}

Key Components

Plugin Dependencies: The configuration specifies neotest-jest as a dependency for the main neotest plugin
Jest Command: Configured to use "npm test --" as the execution command
Config File Reference: Points to jest.config.js for test configuration
Working Directory: Dynamically retrieves the current vim working directory
