react unit testing with jest debug

Question

I am writing some unit tests for react using jest and it fails at one point. I want to debug the unit tests and I try the following

However on the first run itself

node --debug-brk ./node_modules/.bin/jest --runInBand

I get the following error

node_modules\.bin\jest:2
basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\\,/,g')")
          ^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

Any ideas anyone?

Instead of this:

node --debug-brk ./node_modules/.bin/jest --runInBand

try this:

node --debug-brk ./node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js --runInBand

(or)

node --inspect-brk ./node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js --runInBand

It looks like "$0" should be '$0'

This is something generated by the library I cannot change this.
