Pull Request Requirements

• Rebased onto upstream/main branch and squashed into single commit to help maintainers review it more efficient and to avoid spaghetti git commit graphs that obfuscate which commit did exactly what change, when and, why.
• Have git sign off at the end of commit message to avoid being marked red. You can add -s flag when using git commit command. You may refer to this link for more information.
• Follow the Commit Linting specification. You may refer to this link for more information.

Character Limit

• Pull Request Title and Commit Subject must not exceed 72 characters (including spaces and special characters).
• Commit Message per line must not exceed 80 characters (including spaces and special characters).

Fixes #4090

During validation, I observed that the newer Credo packages are built for a NodeNext/ESM environment and are not compatible with the repository’s current CommonJS-based TypeScript and Jest configuration.

@LordKubaya, @RafaelAPB Could you please advise on the preferred next step?

@oGranny Hello, thanks for your contribution.

I haven't found any information on the new credo packages being incompatible with the CommonJS-based TypeScript. Also, I didn't find out about that Jest incompatibility. Could you provide references to that information?

Hello @LordKubaya,

Jest is currently CJS-oriented, while the Credo packages are ESM-first (.mjs entrypoints, credo-ts/askar, credo-ts/core, credo-ts/didcomm). In that context, Jest tries to execute ESM from node_modules as CJS and fails (shown below)

output when i run the tests:

FAIL  packages/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-aries/src/test/typescript/integration/aries-setup-and-connections.test.ts
  Test suite failed to run

  Jest encountered an unexpected token

  Jest failed to parse a file. This happens e.g. when your code or its dependencies use non-standard JavaScript syntax, or when Jest is not configured to support such syntax.

  Out of the box Jest supports Babel, which will be used to transform your files into valid JS based on your Babel configuration.

  By default "node_modules" folder is ignored by transformers.

  Here's what you can do:
  • If you are trying to use ECMAScript Modules, see https://jestjs.io/docs/ecmascript-modules for how to enable it.
  • If you are trying to use TypeScript, see https://jestjs.io/docs/getting-started#using-typescript
  • To have some of your "node_modules" files transformed, you can specify a custom "transformIgnorePatterns" in your config.
  • If you need a custom transformation specify a "transform" option in your config.
  • If you simply want to mock your non-JS modules (e.g. binary assets) you can stub them out with the "moduleNameMapper" config option.

  You'll find more details and examples of these config options in the docs:
  https://jestjs.io/docs/configuration
  For information about custom transformations, see:
  https://jestjs.io/docs/code-transformation

Jest docs ESM support is still experimental and requires ESM-aware config, including running Node with --experimental-vm-modules https://jestjs.io/docs/ecmascript-modules
