jest-chrome is not work for jest 29

Describe the bug

I have jest 29.3.1 and i try to use jest-chrome to test my browser extension https://github.com/translate-tools/linguist

But i can't even install jest-chrome, because its packages.json requires a jest version jest@"^26.0.1 || ^27.0.0"

How do we reproduce?

• Run npm i -D [email protected]
• Run npm i -D jest-chrome

Expected behavior

Packages installed successfully

Actual behavior

We got an error about incompatible versions

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE

I see that this ticket is related to comments in issue 17. I would also need this version bump before I could use jest-chrome for my own testing.

Depending on how you are using jest-chrome you can work around by doing this in your package.json. This sets the requirement for the jest dep of jest-chrome to the version of jest you're already using.
Offical docs; https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/configuring-npm/package-json#overrides

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "jest": "^29.3.1",
    "jest-chrome": "^0.8.0"
  },
  "overrides": {
    "jest-chrome": {
      "jest": "$jest"
    }
  }
}

@nothingrandom If this is working for you, we could probably remove the peer dep from jest-chrome's package.json

Thoughts?

[nothingrandom]

@jacksteamdev I'm fairly sure that you could safely do that. I'm running it through 330 odd unit tests I've got for an extension and nothing broke on my override change or with the jest "core" upgrade.

You might find that there is a minimum jest version required, but I don't know if version locking it is the best way to be dealing with that?

@jacksteamdev looks like you need to cut a release to make this supported for most users.

[sghsri]

@jacksteamdev can you cut a release for this?

[erikshestopal]

@jacksteamdev Can you please cut a new release for this?

@jacksteamdev also bumping for a release
