Hi guys - I’ve been banging my head on jest for two days now. It appears far more opinionated than I’d like, and is showing a number of cases where it just doesn’t really work for us (including causing different behaviour under test than for other frameworks that I simply can’t explain)…. I’m tempted to just use mocha for our unit tests instead, and a quick read would indicate mocha is just as fast if not faster (https://medium.com/dailyjs/javascript-test-runners-benchmark-3a78d4117b4)…. So my question is what do the ‘nx experts’ think? I read the blog post when nx moved to jest and it was all about speed… but is it really faster than something like mocha?
