"yarn test" - Command "test" not found

[faxg]

Maybe I'm missing something super obvious, but:

• Create new plugin project: npx create-payload-app@latest -t plugin -n myPlugin
• cd myPlugin
• yarn test

leads to ===>

$ cd dev && yarn test error Command "test" not found.

Looking at the package.json inside the dev folder explains the error - there is no "test" script there.

Hi i am facing this same issue have you got any solution for that ?

it's because dev folder doesn't have test command, you can run yarn jest in the root folder or install jest to dev package.json. But tests still won't run because you need to somehow configure it to work with Payload local api. Would be great if we had this pre-configured (like in Payload repository), tests are making our plugins code base much better. While you can keep a plugin that only adds some ui without tests (e2e front end isn't worth imo), but when plugin does business logic with database you should write integration tests.
