So I am writing unit test using "react-testing-library" on Jest and I have this error:

 Test suite failed to run

    ReferenceError: global is not defined

Answer 1

After I added "jest-environment-jsdom": "^27.0.6" as a dev dependency, that error went away.

Answer 2

I had this problem using angular v13 with jest v27.2.3 and tsjest v27.0.5 and my problem was with the configuration of jest.config.ts files

module.exports = {
  displayName: 'myApp',
  preset: '../../jest.preset.js',
  setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/src/test-setup.ts'],
  globals: {
    'ts-jest': {
      tsconfig: '<rootDir>/tsconfig.spec.json',
      stringifyContentPathRegex: '\\.(html|svg)$'
    }
  },
  coverageDirectory: '../../coverage/apps/myapp',
  transform: {
    '^.+\\.(ts|mjs|js|html)$': 'jest-preset-angular'
  },
  transformIgnorePatterns: [
    '<rootDir>/node_modules/(?!lodash-es/.*)',
    '<rootDir>/node_modules/(?!ng2-charts/.*)',
    '^.+\\.js$'
  ],
  moduleNameMapper: {
    '^lodash-es$': 'lodash'
  },
  snapshotSerializers: [
    'jest-preset-angular/build/serializers/no-ng-attributes',
    'jest-preset-angular/build/serializers/ng-snapshot',
    'jest-preset-angular/build/serializers/html-comment'
  ]
};

or to libs

module.exports = {
  displayName: 'myLib',
  preset: '../../../jest.preset.js',
  setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/src/test-setup.ts'],
  globals: {
    'ts-jest': {
      tsconfig: '<rootDir>/tsconfig.spec.json',
      stringifyContentPathRegex: '\\.(html|svg)$'
    }
  },
  coverageDirectory: '../../../coverage/libs/...',
  transform: {
    '^.+\\.(ts|mjs|js|html)$': 'jest-preset-angular'
  },
  transformIgnorePatterns: ['node_modules/(?!.*\\.mjs$)'],
  snapshotSerializers: [
    'jest-preset-angular/build/serializers/no-ng-attributes',
    'jest-preset-angular/build/serializers/ng-snapshot',
    'jest-preset-angular/build/serializers/html-comment'
  ]
};
