🐛 Bug Report

Once I updated the package-json versions of jest and ts-jest to 27.0.1 I can`t run dummy tests anymore, because of there error:

Test suite failed to run

    TypeError: Cannot read property 'createStringLiteral' of undefined

you can try out next tag, we will release 9.0.0 soon so you can ignore warnings in next tag and see if next tag works for you.

8.4.0 is not compatible with Jest 27

i am facing same issue next tag is not working form me

[ahnpnl]

have you tried clearing Jest cache?

If you are using nrwl nx, you should wait for them to add support because there are migration needed on their side.

If you are NOT using nrwl nx, you can try clear Jest cache via jest --clearCache. If still not working, please provide a repo.

For nrwl nx, see nrwl/nx#5771

[aakaul]

hi i am not using nrwl

[ahnpnl]

you should try clearing Jest cache after upgrading to next tag.

[aakaul]

i tried clearing cache

Steps to repo
npm install jest jest-preset-angular @types/jest --save-dev
npm install ts-jest@next => i was facing TypeError: Jest: a transform must export something.
npm install jest-preset-angular@next
jest --clearCache

env:
node v14.15.0
typescript: 4.0.5
jest-preset-angular: 9.0.0-next.14
jest: 27.0.1
ts-jest: 27.0.0-next.12
angular:11.2
OS: OSX 11.2.2

hmm i still cannot reproduce your issue @aakaul I would suggest to wait for new release of jest-preset-angular with v9.0.0 before you can use Jest 27

[aakaul]

ok cool. @ahnpnl thanks i will downgrade the packages

[NicolasTsc]

Here is a minimal repo @ahnpnl
https://github.com/NicolasTsc/jest-angular

[ahnpnl]

@NicolasTsc please wait for jest-preset-angular 9.0.0. 8.4.0 doesn't work with jest 27

[NicolasTsc]

@ahnpnl okay any estimated date for it yet?

[ahnpnl]

Either this week or beginning of next week

Please check our CHANGELOG. 9.0.0 is a major version which contains breaking changes so migration is required. Things require migration are mentioned in CHANGELOG.
