How to get vscode to autocomplete "it" instead of "instanceof" for jest for react

Question

In VScode when I type the first few letters of describe , the suggestion comes up for describe from jest and I pick it and all is good.

When I type it for creating a test example there is no suggestion for the jest it and worst of all when I type the two letters " it " and the open paren " ( ", instead of

it(

I get

instanceof(

so I have to type it, then arrow navigate (left arrow for example) and then right arrow and then i can type the open paren and that works.

Annoying.

For extensions I have Jest 3.2.0 I don't have other jest plugins, not sure which I would use (there are dozens).

Answer 1

Jest Snippets extension overrides this behavior. It also allows to create test template from a snippet.
