Create React App Rewired application ignoring jest.config.js - configuration

I have a react application created using "create react app rewired". I've installed ts-jest and want to be able to customize Jest. I read the documentation from ts-jest and executed npx ts-jest config:init at the root level of my project to create the initial configuration file. To test that jest is indeed using that configuration file, I wrote the following line console.log(window); in a sample test file and modified the configuration such that testEnvironment is set to "node".
I am expecting the test to fail due to window being undefined, but I am getting the window object back. I tried renaming the file to jest.config.ts and I got the same result.
I did a global search across all the files to see if there's another configuration file somewhere that is overriding my configurations, but there was none found.
What am I doing wrong? I know jest comes pre-packaged with create-react-app (CRA). I would imagine that create-react-app-rewired would only include some wrapper above CRA so where is it getting its configurations from?

I've come to realize that create-react-app-rewired package had nothing to do with this issue since it is simply a wrapper package that exposes a configure-overrides.js file to allow developers to modify the webpack configurations managed by create-react-app.
The jest.config.ts or jest.config.js config file I created had no effect because create react app (CRA) will generate and use its own jest config file underneath the hood.
I discovered this by happenstance while researching on another issue. A comment by dstapleton92 on GitHub helped me draw this conclusion.
Create React App supports overriding SOME of the values via the "jest" property in package.json file. Upon inspecting the jest config factory function in CRA, testEnvironment property is hard coded to "jsdom" and the key is not exposed as part of the list of overridable properties.
This is why the attempts I made were not successful.

Goland showing Unresolved type (Instance, in GCE library specifically), but core/tests run fine ("invalidate and restart" solution not working here)

I'm using the GCE library in Go, along with go modules.
I'm finding that, while it happily compiles and runs unit tests, it's not resolving those types (e.g. compute.Instance) in the Goland IDE. I'm using 2020.2.
I first added this dependency by hand-coding (adding "google.golang.org/api/compute/v1" to my imports, and letting the module handler load whatever it needs). It added google.golang.org/api v0.50.0 to my go.mod file.
I've tried the old "Invalidate and Restart" approach, and it didn't do anything. I have another project where a different version of that module happens to be loaded, and it works fine on that one.
I've even tried a more nuclear version (Invalidate (no restart), close project, close IDE, delete the .idea directory, and delete the contents of ~/.cache/JetBrains). Still no dice.
FWIW my go module's version is go 1.15
You can navigate to the package sources by pressing Command/CTRL+Click on the import statement (or via External Libraries menu in Project View) and find compute-gen.go file and size limit warning. The IDE behaves as expected.
As a workaround, you can invoke Help | Edit Custom Properties... and add the following line idea.max.intellisense.filesize=8500000 (depends on the original file size), restart GoLand. Please, keep in mind that the IDE can be slow when dealing with large files even if they are not open in the editor.

Cypress mocha-junit-reporter - pass test filename to reporter output filename

I'm using Cypress to run a suite of automated tests.
The current version of cypress provides mocha-junit-reporter out of the box, and provides configuration options to pass to the reporter. One of the options is the 'mochaFile'.
I'm using the recommended [hash] tag to output reports across multiple spec files.
this results in a flat mess of files that look like 'results/test-output-abc12345.xml'.
What I want instead is for the test file's relative path and filename to be pass in as the reporter's output file path.
This would give me a structured, feature first view of the output, and in Azure Dev Ops, which aggregates the test output, it would give me correct filenames to detect intermittently failing tests.
Things I've tried that haven't worked:
I've tried to use hooks to modify Cypress's config or set environment variables to try to override the reporterOptions/mochaFile per test at (hopefully) the right time.
I've tried to grab the outputted defaultly-named xml file, and copy it to the correct path+filename given the Cypress.spec.name context, but I can't seem to find the right hook or time to do this.
after and afterEach don't work - I don't think the test report has saved the file yet.
Using a plugin, hooking to some event on test:before:run or test:after:run seem promising, but I'm flying blind since I can't debug into it, so I've been unsucessful in modifying the reporter's output path or copying the file.
I'd love it if someone could show a working example using mocha-junit-reporter, or even a different mocha compatible reporter, if the reporter would play well with Azure Dev Ops, and can help me discover intermittently failing tests.

browserstack+nightwatch custom commands configuration

I have a Nightwatch + BrowserStack configuration on my project and I'm trying to add custom commands to my project to compare 2 screenshots using resemble.js .
I configure my nightwatch.json file with this :
"custom_commands_path": "./node_modules/nightwatch/commands",
"custom_assertions_path": "./node_modules/nightwatch/assertions"
I put the commands file in the folder and I tried to run my test in every directory possible to see if it was a path problem. I've also tried with different commands, some of them I get online and even the default example one. Whatever I run it returns nameOfTheCommand is not a function. So I guess it does not even find the path to the customs commands in the nightwatch.json file.
Is there anything I'm missing here? I'm quite new so the answer could be very simple but I tried every .json file of my project in case there was a special configuration linked to BrowserStack.
Path to the custom commands should be analogous to the path to custom commands. You should point a folder where you added them.
I've found that if I put them in the suite configuration file, it picks them up:
nightwatch_config = {
src_folders: ["tests/suite/product/"],
page_objects_path: "pages/product",
custom_commands_path: "./custom_commands"
}

Using CakePHP 3.0 plugin

I'm currently building a new CakePHP app with version 3.0.0-RC1, and trying to install and use the jasig/phpCAS plugin. Using this guide, I've run the following command from the command prompt: composer require jasig/phpcas
This correctly copies the jasig/phpcas files into the vendor directory of my app, but one of the other files that the guide says should be updated (vendor/cakephp-plugins.php) doesn't even exist.
I've had a tough time accessing the plugin. I want to be able to call its static methods, and I keep getting errors of the form: Error: Class 'App\Controller\phpCAS' not found. (The exact directory in the error changes depending on where I'm calling the method from.)
I don't know if this is due to not having the cakephp-plugins.php file, or if I'm not calling the plugin correctly. It's my understanding that if the plugin is loaded I should just be able to call static methods on it like this: phpCAS::methodName()
First of all jasig/phpcas is not a CakePHP plugin. And the vendor/cakephp-plugins.php file is created by the CakePHP plugin installer, so if you don't see such a file, you seem to have either not installed any plugins yet, or you are not using a recent version of the installer, as the creation of this file has been introduced just recently.
Regarding the error about the class not being found, you are missing the leading namespace separator (\phpCAS::methodName()) to access the class in the global namespace, respectively you are missing a proper import (use phpCAS;) that would make the class available in the current namespace.
In case you are not familiar with namespaces, you may want to start with: http://php.net/namespaces

How do I package a log4j configuration file in a NetBeans Platorm application?

Packaging a log4j configuration file in a NetBeans Platform application apparently requires some thinking through. This is what I tried...
I put log4j.xml in src/main/resources/my/package/log4j.xml of some_netbeans_module. The package is a public module package (i.e. classes from this package are used from other packages). I rebuilt the module and confirmed that the file does, in fact, get packaged into the module.
In my classes I get an instance of the logger the way I always do:
static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(ThisClass.class);
Every NetBeans Platform application has a my_app.conf file which makes it possible to set certain properties. This is where I set log4j.conf:
log4j.configuration="/my/package/log4j.xml"
Now, when I run the application, I see the following output:
[INFO] /home/me/my_app/application/target/my_app/bin/../etc/my_app.conf: 5:
log4j.configuration=/my/package/log4j.xml: not found
What is wrong with the above configuration?
In the my_app.conf file if you append the log4j.configuration property to the default_options property, like so:
default_options="...<other options> -J-Dlog4j.configuration=my/package/log4j.xml"
then this option will get passed to the JVM. Notice that the log4j property has -J-D appended to it. The -J is used by NetBeans to delineate JVM properties and the -D is used by the JVM to delineate a system property.
Also you can/should drop the quotes and the initial / as the quotes are not necessary and NetBeans will complain if you have the initial /
The other way to do this, and the way that I prefer since it doesn't require editing the .conf file, is to put the log4j.xml file into the default package. If you have other requirements that prevents you from doing this then remember that you must put the log4j.configuration property in the app's platform.properties file while your in dev mode and running the app inside of the IDE. Like so:
run.args.extra=-J-Dlog4j.configuration=my/package/log4j.xml
Edit: For questions regarding NetBeans Platform you might have better luck posting to the NetBeans Platform Users forum.
