You can locate the Jest cache folder by using the --showConfig
CLI option, for example, like so:
jest --showConfig
This will output your Jest config; the cache directory should be under the cacheDirectory
key. You can use the following shortcut to only display the cache directory:
jest --showConfig | grep cacheDir
If Jest is not installed as a global dependency, then you can do the following:
./node_modules/.bin/jest --showConfig | grep cacheDir
If you're using yarn, then you can run the following command:
yarn jest --showConfig | grep cacheDir
Similarly, if you're using npx
, you can use the following command:
npx jest --showConfig | grep cacheDir
