Migrate from jest to vitest

[bucko13]

Jest as a project seems to be under-resourced. It has issues with newer technologies like ES Modules. Vitest seems to be better maintained, more modern and has a better DX/UX>

Hi Buck ....
So do you want to rewrite all the tests for the packages and coordinator to vitest ?
I'll be more than happy to contribute once I am done with integrating the fees package to the main coordinator :)

That’s the idea yeah! And that’d be amazing. Vitest did try and keep its API as close to the same as jest as possible so hopefully it’s an easy transition 🤞

Ah Great !! So can we start with packages first ... Because I have a got a solid grasp of bitcoin , psbt and client packages so rewriting tests for them would be a great starting point for me I guess ... also learning something new is always great :)

Hi @DhairyaMajmudar thanks for help, would you like to contribute with me to start working on this issue .... we were planning on starting with the packages first ... so maybe we can decide on how to divide them and start by creating a new branch to which we both then can contribute and create a draft PR for it then ...

[DhairyaMajmudar]

Yes definitely @Legend101Zz let's collaborate : )

I don't know of any such existing channels .... there is a discord subchannel of caravan in SOB's discord but I think that might not be the right place , @DhairyaMajmudar can we just connect on discord then ... and have things started ?

[DhairyaMajmudar]

Sure @Legend101Zz let's connect on discord dhairya7 here's my username : )

Hi, @bucko13 upon discussion with @Legend101Zz in discord chat we have come to an approach to create a separate migration branch in the main repo. where we both can collaborate by opening small-medium sized pull requests. Separating the migration will help maintainers review the PRs in a more effective way.

Needed your help in making a separate branch since we don't have write access to repo.

Thanks guys! I've started a feature branch y'all can target vite-migration
