About this issue

@sumukhah , so this is exactly where I would expect to see:

 {
+  "testRunner": "jest",
+  "runnerConfig": "e2e/config.json",
   "devices": {
     "emulator": {
...

Due to compatibility reasons, default runner for Detox is mocha, although de facto we recommend jest.

@shootermv make sure you are using Detox 18.16.0 and above.

Thanks, now I get why I could not reproduce this issue. 👍 I’ll improve the error message soon.
