LazyVim setup for NeoTest and Native Node.js Test Runner

Sun, 28 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

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.

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

LazyVim + neotest-mocha and overcoming "No test found"

Sun, 07 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

The author transitioned from AstroVim to LazyVim and configured neotest-mocha for test running in NeoVim. The setup required careful attention to file discovery patterns.
