Mocha 和导入语法：找不到模块

Question

Maintainer of multiple npm packages here. Been using mocha with the require syntax and wanting to migrate to the import syntax .

The error I am getting is

Cannot find module '<project>/src/index' imported from <project>/test/index.spec.js

Steps to Reproduce

With the following three files

• src/index.js

export const sum = (a, b) => a + b;

• test/index.spec.js

import { sum } from '../src/index';

const expect = require('chai').expect;

describe('Testing Index', () => {
    it('Testing sum', () => {
        expect(sum(7, 13)).to.equal(20);
    });
});

• package.json

{
  "name": "mocha-debug",
  "type": "module",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "mocha \"./test/**/*.spec.js\""
  },
  "license": "ISC",
  "devDependencies": {
    "chai": "4.3.4",
    "mocha": "9.1.4"
  }
}

and using node v14.18.2 , run yarn install and

yarn test

> `Cannot find module '<project>/src/index' imported from <project>/test/index.spec.js`

Notes

I've found a related issue that recommends using babel with --require @babel/register , but wasn't able to get over the error.

I've set up a test repo to make it easy to reproduce the issue

Question

What am I doing wrong here? How do I get the tests to run successfully?

Answer 1

I solved it by just adding the file extension in my case I was importing my mongodb model so I imported with the file extension.ts

var Employee = require('../models/Employee.ts')

Which solved the issue
