ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/private/var/folders/

Using mock-fs gives me the following error:

ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/private/var/folders/_4/y5tgvqvx12n9gyl97xvdgpxm0000gq/T/jest_dz/ts-jest/ce/607fabb27dcc5bf120948e1a795d93148671b2/e9a8ee471bc676fe755c57379268f21a1390a7a4'

The stack trace is:

at TsJestTransformer.getCacheKey (../../node_modules/ts-jest/dist/ts-jest-transformer.js:245:40)
      at ScriptTransformer._getCacheKey (../../node_modules/@jest/transform/build/ScriptTransformer.js:281:41)

Any idea what can cause that?

@YonatanKra Did you manage to somehow solve this issue? I’m just doing

mock({
  'path/to/file.txt': 'file content here',
});

as it says in the docs and getting the same error. Tried different node versions and package versions, too, but nothing changed.

Thanks in advance!

I am leaving this here for anyone who needs it in the future.

My testing says that you need to turn off the mocking between tests because Jest can't do its own internal logging. That's the best reason I can come up with anyway. Info in the README

You also need to turn off the mocking if you're doing anything with snapshots. The README has this information at the bottom.

import * as mockFs from 'mock-fs';

describe('your test', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    mockFs({
      // Mocked file system
    });
  });

  afterEach(() => {
    mockFs.restore();
  });

  // Your tests
});
