feat: Add `strackTraceIgnorePatterns` option by guisehn · Pull Request #16334 · jestjs/jest

guisehn · 2026-08-13T15:16:57Z

Summary

Implements #16362.

Adds a new strackTraceIgnorePatterns option that allows ignoring noisy lines.

In React tests, it's common to get very noisy stack traces with recursive lib internal calls. Example:

console.error
    An update to ProfileForm inside a test was not wrapped in act(...).

    When testing, code that causes React state updates should be wrapped into act(...):

    act(() => {
      /* fire events that update state */
    });
    /* assert on the output */

    This ensures that you're testing the behavior the user would see in the browser. Learn more at https://react.dev/link/wrap-tests-with-act

With the new option, those stack trace lines can be ignored with the config:

/** @type {import('jest').Config} */
module.exports = {
  stackTraceIgnorePatterns: [
    '/node_modules/react-dom/',
  ],
};

And the resulting stack trace would be:

console.error
    An update to ProfileForm inside a test was not wrapped in act(...).

    When testing, code that causes React state updates should be wrapped into act(...):

    act(() => {
      /* fire events that update state */
    });
    /* assert on the output */

    This ensures that you're testing the behavior the user would see in the browser. Learn more at https://react.dev/link/wrap-tests-with-act

Test plan

I added a new e2e test:

yarn jest e2e/__tests__/stackTraceIgnorePatterns.test.ts --no-watchman

 PASS  e2e/__tests__/stackTraceIgnorePatterns.test.ts
  ✓ omits console.error frames matching stackTraceIgnorePatterns (734 ms)
  ✓ keeps helper frames when stackTraceIgnorePatterns is unset (687 ms)

Test Suites: 1 passed, 1 total
Tests:       2 passed, 2 total
Snapshots:   0 total
Time:        1.764 s, estimated 2 s
Ran all test suites matching e2e/__tests__/stackTraceIgnorePatterns.test.ts.

Please let me know if this is enough or if I should provide more test strategies.
