How do I use Vite and Jest with IntelliJ? - intellij-idea

Question

I am trying to run a Jest integration test from Intellij. I right click and say run it tries to run but then I get...
/bin/sh: vite: command not found
I tried adding this to the env vars in the Intellij Run Dialog....
PATH=$PATH:/my/dir/node_modules/.bin
But then I get...
env: node: No such file or directory
node:events:371
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: spawn pgrep ENOENT
at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:282:19)
at onErrorNT (node:internal/child_process:478:16)
at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:83:21)
Emitted 'error' event on ChildProcess instance at:

errno: -2,
code: 'ENOENT',
syscall: 'spawn pgrep',

}
I can confirm that vite is in /my/dir/node_modules/.bin and npx vite works from terminal. Vite is not (nor will I) installed globally

Answer 1

In my case I was using Puppeteer to run integration tests in the browser. Adding npm here...
module.exports = {
...
server: {
command: `npx vite --port 8080 --mode ${process.env.ENV_MODE || "development"}`,
port: 8080,
launchTimeout: 10000,
},
};
Notice was vite --port 8080 now npx vite --port 8080
This may not work with some older versions of NPM that don't include npx (don't remember version but think it is behind LTS).
