Steps to reproduce

Run nvm use yarn test.

It works for node 18.12.1, but not for node 19.3.0.

Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository

Works on lts/hydrogen -> v18.12.1. But because node 19 decides to make global performance property as read only ({writable: false})

I got this error after upgrading to node v19. Changing these lines

react-native/jest/setup.js

Lines 20 to 22 in 473eb1d

	global.performance = {
	now: jest.fn(Date.now),
	};

to something like

if (!global.performance) {
  global.performance = {}
}
global.performance.now = jest.fn(Date.now)

Might solve the issue. I'm guessing that node v18/19 started defining performance or added a guard that prevents reassigning it. Couldn't find anything related in the release notes though.

[Anton-Petrovskyi]

The problem is in node version indeed.
I was using stable node version on my project and I had node installed with homebrew (that is system node version).
NVM prioritizes system-node over default alias, so jest was using node v19 that triggers this error.
I had to remove system node version. Now jest is running on stable node version

FIX:
brew uninstall node
nvm use stable

is there a way to override it outside node_modules/react-native/jest/setup.js file?

solved in jest 29.6.4 version

[reporter123]

looks like jest 29.2.1 is minimum for this fix https://github.com/jestjs/jest/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md

29.6.4 contains additional fixes for node 20.
