Jest couldn't resolve @actions packages v3.x which are ESM-only ("type": "module" with import-only exports). Tests failed with "Cannot find module @actions/core" errors.

Changes

  • Added @swc/jest transformer: Handles ESM-to-CommonJS transformation for JS files in node_modules
  • Configured explicit module mappings: Maps bare specifiers like @actions/core to actual transpiled files Jest can resolve:
    moduleNameMapper: {
      "^@actions/core$": "<rootDir>/node_modules/@actions/core/lib/core.js",
      "^@actions/io$": "<rootDir>/node_modules/@actions/io/lib/io.js",
      "^@actions/io/lib/(.*)$": "<rootDir>/node_modules/@actions/io/lib/$1",
      // ... similar mappings for exec, http-client
    }
  • Updated transformIgnorePatterns: Includes @actions/.+ so these ESM packages are transformed rather than ignored

Tests now pass with @actions v3 ESM packages. Only failures are expected missing codeql CLI executable.
