How to export enums with a capacitor plugin that is functional with jest? (capacitorExports problem)

[distante]

I am working in a capacitor plugin and I have troubles with non-interfaces exports.

I am declaring and exporting an enum declaration in definition.ts containing the listeners the plugin can have.

The problem I am having is that in tests with jest I get this error when I try to import one of the enums:

ReferenceError: capacitorExports is not defined

Everything works as expected in the ionic/angular project it self but I am not able to run unit tests.

If I remove the enums and use plain strings everything works but I do not want to force the consumer to use magic strings.

another problem I have is that when I want to enable the web version importing the plugin as recommended in the docs sends the same error.

// THIS BREAKS TESTS

// Import custom plugin package for web support too
import 'my-plugin';

I have a similar issue with my plugin: capacitor-community/bluetooth-le#12

@distante Have you found any solutions/workaround in the meantime?

@pwespi for the web version I am using dynamic imports in the plugin consumer part

And regarding the enums, I put them on another file so I can import them separately.

It is not pretty but at least I can keep testing my project.

Thanks for the information.

I found that a commonjs output might help. But I'm not sure if it's the best solution. See capacitor-community/bluetooth-le#14
