I want to test an already existing Vue-CLI 3 project. I haven't initialized the testing preset when I was creating the project. I have searched, but haven't found any suitable results. I read the documentation also, but it said to add testing when creating the project.

From your project root directory, enter the following command to add @vue/test-utils and jest:

vue add unit-jest

The command output should look similar to this:

$ vue add unit-jest

I was successful with the following plugin:

@vue/cli-plugin-unit-jest ([https://www.npmjs.com/package/@vue/cli-plugin-unit-jest)

I installed it, from the root folder, using the command:

vue add unit-jest

The command already adds an entry to my package.json file:

"scripts": {
    ...
    "test:unit": "vue-cli-service test:unit",
    ...
},
