I am following the official doc of Jest testing > **[Testing TypeScript Server Runtime Code with Jest](https://heroiclabs.com/docs/nakama/guides/server-framework/typescript-testing/)** > > Summary but after run `npm run test` always get error: ```auto FAIL src/rpc-add-item.test.ts ● Test suite failed to run Unable to load the module "ts-patch/compiler". Using "ts-jest" requires this package to be installed. To fix it: ↳ install "ts-patch/compiler": `npm i -D ts-patch/compiler` (or `yarn add --dev ts-patch/compiler`) ``` ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/heroiclabs/original/2X/7/7c6205e4f3580e421a7b3f2589c80f4ca87022bb.png) I try to install `npm i -D ts-patch/compiler` but it is not exist. After do some research fo ts-patch, seem like this `ts-patch/compiler` is the live compiler of ts-patch. Meanwhile, cannot find any example with jest test in github, could anyone help? Btw, i am using the ts-patch 2.1.0 as the 3.x need TS \> 5. ---

seems like it relates to the jest config and typescript version. i move the jest config from the package to an independent config file I create a ts template repo > **[GitHub - xinatcg/nakama-ts-template: Nakama Typescript Server Runtime Template](https://github.com/xinatcg/nakama-ts-template)** > > Nakama Typescript Server Runtime Template. Contribute to xinatcg/nakama-ts-template development by creating an account on GitHub. hope it can help anyone who wants to use it. the official server template repo the ts part seem like not work.
