[REQUIRED] Describe the problem

Getting an internal error when i try to save anything in the firestore emulator in typescript project.
I run my tests with jest ^24.9.0

Steps to reproduce:

sample.test.ts

import * as firebase from '@firebase/testing'
const app = firebase.initializeTestApp({
  projectId: 'sample-test',
  databaseName: 'test-db'
})

describe('firebase test', () => {
  test('save something', async () => {
    return app
      .firestore()
      .collection('user')
      .add({ email: '[email protected]' })
  })
})

run with firebase emulators:exec --only firestore,database "node_modules/.bin/jest --forceExit"

then i get this output:

firebase emulators:exec --only firestore,database "node_modules/.bin/jest --forceExit"
i  emulators: Starting emulators: firestore, database

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

I have the same issue. It seems related to jestjs/jest#4422. I'll try some workarounds and keep you posted.

Using https://www.npmjs.com/package/jest-environment-uint8array fixes the issue.

[Gurey]

Thank you @SamyPesse that solved my issue!

Another solution is to use this jest config: https://jestjs.io/docs/en/configuration#extraglobals-arraystring

  extraGlobals: ['Uint8Array', 'ArrayBuffer']
