Solana Test Program Anchor Test failing tsconfig.json" > needs an import assertion of type "json"

Question

I ran anchor test --skip-deploy and all it should do is initialize my program, but all I get is this error, that I cannot resolve. I checked the tsconfig.json settings they should be fine. This is just the default anchor setup and I'm not importing any unusual JSON files anywhere.

Answer 1

I fixed my own problem by running

yarn add ts-mocha

Seems to be a version problem. Anchor init uses 8.0.0 and after doing this, updates to 10.0.0 – Manson

If using a dependency management tool for a monorepo (such as lerna), use yarn add ts-mocha -W instead. – Ahimsa

Answer 2

yarn add ts-mocha

This did not work for me. I deleted the package-lock.json and then updated the npm packages to the latest

"devDependencies": {
    "@types/chai": "^4.3.4",
    "@types/mocha": "^10.0.1",
    "@types/node": "^18.11.18",
    "chai": "^4.3.7",
    "mocha": "^10.2.0",
    "ts-mocha": "^10.0.0",
    "typescript": "^4.9.5"

then updated the provider code:

import * as anchor from "@project-serum/anchor";

const provider = anchor.AnchorProvider.env();
anchor.setProvider(provider);
