How do I wait for an exec process to finish in Jest?










0














I have the following test, but I can't seem to get Jest to wait for my exec call to finish running:



var exec = require('child_process').exec

test('render', async () =>
await exec('./render.local.sh', (err, out) =>
console.log(err, out)
expect(...some file to be created)
);
)


What should I do to make jest wait for the exec callback to be called?

          You need to call done() after your assertion.



          test('render', async (done) => 
          await exec('./render.local.sh', (err, out) =>
          console.log(err, out);
          expect(...some file to be created);
          done();
          );
          )


          Which will mark the test to complete.

            Another possibility I found that works with async



            const util = require('util');
            const exec = util.promisify(require('child_process').exec);

            test('render', async () =>
            const stdout, stderr = await exec('./render.local.sh');

            console.log(stdout, stderr);
            )
