Jest At Puns

Hi, I built a small CLI and set up Jest for my project. So far I only have a little experience with running unit tests on frontend components, but since my project only required the logic the tests seem to require a little different setup.

I use a default setup that worked for a previous project based on Next.js:

my jest.config.ts:

const{defaults} = require('jest-config');
module.exports = {
moduleFileExtensions: ["ts"],

roots: [
"<rootDir>/src"
],
transform: {
"node_modules/variables/.+\\.(j|t)sx?$": "ts-jest",
},
transformIgnorePatterns: [
"node_modules/(?!variables/.*)"
],
testMatch: [
"**/tests/**/*.spec.ts",
"**/tests/**/*.test.ts",
],
testEnvironment: "node",
};

But I seem to run into an error when I try to test an exported function from a .ts class in my source folder which I try to import,

my tests.spec.ts:

import { isPosNumber } from './../src/robot/position';
...

describe('Coordinates should each be positive numbers', () => {
const x = '2';
const y = '3';
const expected = true;

expect(isPosNumber(x)).toBe(true);
expect(isPosNumber(y)).toBe;
})

The error message reads that Jest encountered an unexpected token (arrows pointing to the word import) :

tests.spec.ts:1

({"Object.<anonymous>":function(module,exports,require,__dirname,__filename,jest){import { isPosNumber } from './../src/robot/position';
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

i had a reddit tab openedand looking onhow to negate the chikages health drain on google and this guy ive never meant nor did he message me on posts adds me in chat and tells how to negate it , i was freaked out because i dont know "jest sensation". please if anyone knows who he is tell me , ill lock at all my posts

Example 1 was on Mother's Day. We went to a Japanese Steakhouse with my extended family for dinner (there was only maybe seven of us, and all of us were vaccinated) and the chef was giving the usual performance. I was having fun with it, cheering and clapping, when he starts drumming with the utensils. This is one of my favorite parts, so I started gently bopping my head. I look to my left, and my cousin across the table is laughing at me; she said she loved how into it I was and thought it was funny. I didn't say anything, just started panicking in my head while trying not to move anymore; I guess it made me feel like I looked dumb or like a child.

Example 2 was at Disney a few years ago, and I've talked about this before elsewhere. My friend and I got on the Rockin' Rollercoaster for our first ride. It was epic (tied with Space Mountain for my favorite ride), and I was cheering and whooping the whole ride, like you do on a rollercoaster, right? Well, I get off, and my friend is laughing her head off telling me that I had a hilarious rollercoaster scream and she was cracking up the whole time. I don't like to cause a disturbance or for lots of attention to be on me (outside of a performance of some sort), and the comment made me feel like I had all eyes and ears on me, so I tried my best to keep quiet for the rest of the trip.

I have zero doubt in my mind that both my cousin and my friend cared deeply about me and would never want to hurt me. Their comments and laughter were innocent and light-hearted, but it still really hurt and caused me to shut down. These were just the two examples that I could think of, but this happens all the time. It makes me feel like I can't really loosen up or do anything playful lest I make myself look like a fool. Do I just need to grow up? Or does anyone else deal with these kinds of emotions as well?

Crouch: "Ordinarily, I would not have answered. The fact it was a FaceTime call, though, made things a bit different. My initial thought was that it was my wife Abbey, who had gone to the Brits."

Crouch: "But when I answered, it wasn't Abbey staring back from the other end, it was Mourinho, sitting in his office with a glint in his eye. Are you ready, then? Jose was laughing now — almost as much as I was. Peter! Come on! We need you! We need you!"

Crouch: "Tottenham's press office had my number and had given it. As much as I would love to answer his call I concluded — given my refuelling since retirement — it might take me a little longer to recapture full fitness."

I've tried reading this book a bunch of times.

It's not an easy book, that's for sure. At times the desire to read the book became more of a test or goal to achieve than something done for its own enjoyment.

Contextually, my first attempt to read this book was in 2016, around the same time I embarked on a trek to a basecamp of a particularly perilous mountain. It was the first time I'd embarked upon such a thing. I trained a lot for it.

I failed the trek and I failed the book. The book became its own mountain to me, and as I numbly glanced over words without extracting any meaning I realised that this was a pointless endeavour with no merit being extracted.

Over the years I've occasionally picked up the book, read the first chapter of Hal Incandenza's meeting with some members of a sports academy faculty. But it never sticks, and resumes its place upon a shelf or desk, collecting the dust of daily life.

Upon this last pickup, something happened, and I can't quite place it. Infinite Jest is like a garden, a sprawling, vast and at first seemingly unkempt and overgrown garden. The sheer thought of traversing the entire thing starts to overshadow any individual details, and the temptation to just trample through without looking at the foliage for the sake of reaching the end is present.

But, for me, acceptance that this is a long book that is made even longer by being so dense, and that it will take time to complete has led to me only traversing the garden in short bursts, but giving me greater ability to appreciate that it isnt an unkempt, overgrown and neglected plot of land, but a meticulously sculpted collection of patches of intricate detail. I read like 10 pages a night, because that's all my brain can handle before it begins to zone out. But that allows the humour and absurdity and tragedy of the piece to be appreciated and noticed. It draws me into this world which is realised on an almost fractal level, detailed and busy no matter how closely you look.

It's entirely possible that the book will defeat me again. I'm less than 200 pages in for a 1000 page book. Assuming I read at this rate every night (which I dont), itll be about to turn 2021 before I finish it.

But it isnt an arduous slog anymore, it's a slow extraction and immersion that is enjoyable.

Just not about the books I couldn’t hear shit

KNOW, O beloved, that man was not created in jest or at random, but marvelously made and for some great end. Although she is not from everlasting, yet she lives for ever; and though her body is mean and earthly, yet her spirit is lofty and divine. When in the crucible of abstinence she is purged from carnal passions she attains to the highest, and in place of being a slave to lust and anger becomes endued with angelic qualities. Attaining that state, she finds heaven in the contemplation of Eternal Beauty, and no longer in fleshly delights.

The spiritual alchemy which operates this change in her, like that which transmutes base metals into gold, is not easily discovered [...]

Now the treasuries of God, in which this alchemy is to be sought, are the hearts of the prophets, and she who seeks it elsewhere will be disappointed and bankrupt on the day of judgment, when she hears the words, "We have lifted the veil from off thee, and thy sight to-day is keen."

God has sent on earth a hundred and twenty-four thousand prophets to teach people the prescription of this alchemy, and how to purify their hearts from baser qualities in the crucible of abstinence. This alchemy may be briefly described as turning away from the world to God, and its constituents are four:

1. The knowledge of self
2. The knowledge of God
3. The knowledge of this world as it really is
4. The knowledge of the next world as it really is

I’m on the 14th (I think?) chapter and I have no idea what is going on in this book. I can more or less understand fragments, but in this chapter especially I’m confused. It was talking about Kate Glombert and all that with the doctor, then abrubtly switched to the medical attaché who was discussed earlier, then after only a brief paragraph of that it starts on about Schtitt and Mario, and I don’t understand what their conversation is... and i figured I should make a post to see what is going on/if this book starts to make any sense at any point? Because I am lost
