Clear WebStorm Node options

Question

When clicking run/debug within WebStorm it fails for Jest tests. The reason being the Node options in the jest configuration are set to --watch --experimental-vm-modules which fails.

I've tried clearing all my templates, resetting to factory settings and reinstalling WebStorm - but this still pre-populates.

The only solution I've found is to manually clear the Node options each time. I've no saved templates that it should be pulling these options from.

Node Options: --watch --experimental-vm-modules

Tried already:

• Reinstalling WebStorm
• Resetting defaulting settings in WebStorm
• Deleting all existing jest templates

Answer 1

The experimental-vm-modules flag is auto-added if you have type: module in the package.json (see WEB-52967 ). But --watch is not normmally auto-added. Please check your Jest run configuration template in Run > Edit Configurations, Edit configurations templates
