When I run a very simple sample test in jest-expo-puppeteer following the guidelines in jest-expo-puppeteer documentation, I keep getting a log of weird errors, and it seems none of the elements expected could be found. So I tried to print out the page:
// Import the config so we can find the host URL
import config from '../../jest-puppeteer.config'
let response
beforeEach(async () => {
  // Jest puppeteer exposes the page object from Puppeteer
  response = await page.goto(config.url)
})
it(`should have welcome string`, async () => {
  const html = await page.evaluate(() => document.documentElement.outerHTML)
  console.log(html)
  await expect(page).toMatchElement('div[data-testid="welcome"]', { text: 'Welcome!' })
})
The result of the page shows the text Oh no! It looks like JavaScript is not enabled in your browser.:

                </p>
              </div>
            </form>
          </noscript>
          <!-- The root element for your Expo app. -->
          <div id="root"><div class="css-view-1dbjc4n r-flex-13awgt0 r-pointerEvents-12vffkv"><div class="css-view-1dbjc4n r-flex-13awgt0 r-pointerEvents-12vffkv"></div></div></div>
        <script src="/static/js/bundle.js"></script>
      
      </body></html>
...
This happens for both headless and in-browser execution.
So it looks like Javascript is turned off. The page object is created internally by jest-expo-puppeteer, so I wonder:
- How to turn on JavaScript in 
jest-expo-puppeteer? - Shouldn't this be turned on by default? Perhaps there is something that I missed out in my setup?
 
                        
I've found out the answer myself:
Oh no! It looks like JavaScript is not enabled in your browser.is always present in react-native file. It seems to server as a backup (in case the browser indeed doesn't have JavaScript enabled it will be shown).
