Console.log statements output nothing at all in Jest

You can run both options together like this --watch --verbose false if you want to also be watching the files and see the output.

for one time runs just do --verbose false

Jest suppresses the console log message by default. In order to show the console log message, set silent option to false at the command line

set --silent=false in the command line:

npm run test -- --silent=false

As per comment on https://github.com/facebook/jest/issues/2441,

Try setting verbose: false (or removing it) in the jest options in package.json.

Check for your command line flags in package.json to see that you don't have --silent in there.
