'How can I use a string representation of an enum in a Jest test.each case?
When writing a Jest test.each() test using an enum like below
enum MyEnum {
FirstValue,
SecondValue,
ThirdValue
}
describe('my example', () => {
test.each([MyEnum.FirstValue, MyEnum.SecondValue, MyEnum.ThirdValue])(
'%o',
(input: MyEnum) => {
expect(input).toBeDefined();
}
);
});
The output text is:
my example
0
1
2
I would like it to be
my example
FirstValue
SecondValue
ThirdValue
Using other formatting parameters like %p or %j like listed in the Jest docs don't change anything

I just thought of an answer, I could use describe.each in stead:
describe.each(testcases)('my test', (input: MyEnum) => {
test(`${MyEnum[input]}`, () => {
expect(input).toBeDefined();
});
});
