Summary: When creating a brand new Flipper desktop plugin, the tests don't pass ### To Reproduce ``` npx flipper-pkg init cd flipper-plugin-new yarn jest ``` The test are not passing. It would seem that we have 2 issues since this commit:e46fcba0b2 (diff-26467a831e67f87a2bd99be5b62a71a6e3e4e7f86135c11ccede9a02e58c44feR48)#### 1. `electronRequire` is not defined  Adding: ```ts // ts-ignore global.electronRequire = require; ``` fixes the issue of course like [here](e46fcba0b2 (diff-a283d77d8667b28aec5319fe5671a91489485a683898efedf9441b816c84a447R15)) but might not be very ideal When fixing this, we hit a second issue: #### 2. Hooks cannot be defined inside tests  This is because we now require `testing-library/react` on the fly:e46fcba0b2 (diff-26467a831e67f87a2bd99be5b62a71a6e3e4e7f86135c11ccede9a02e58c44feR198)which will run `afterEach` if defined:071a6fdc1d/src/index.js (L12)A non ideal fix is to require `require("testing-library/react");` before running the test ## Changelog Fix: ensure desktop plugin template tests run Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/flipper/pull/3327 Test Plan: I've cloned the repo and run: ``` cd flipper/desktop/pkg yarn cd ../../.. ./flipper/desktop/pkg/bin/run init ``` I run the tests on the newly package created and they're now good  ## Side note The fixes are not great, if you guys have better ones to suggest, really addressing the root cause of the issue, I'll happily close the PR Also it's so easy to test desktop plugins with the awesome work you've done �, it'd be sad if the community could not totally benefit from it. Since I had this issue before (https://github.com/facebook/flipper/pull/3039), I'd be really happy to help (if given some directions 🙏) set up a test to ensure a plugin generated is always well set up.

Flipper
Flipper (formerly Sonar) is a platform for debugging mobile apps on iOS and Android and, recently, even JS apps in your browser or in Node.js. Visualize, inspect, and control your apps from a simple desktop interface. Use Flipper as is or extend it using the plugin API.
Table of Contents
Mobile development
Flipper aims to be your number one companion for mobile app development on iOS and Android. Therefore, we provide a bunch of useful tools, including a log viewer, interactive layout inspector, and network inspector.
Extending Flipper
Flipper is built as a platform. In addition to using the tools already included, you can create your own plugins to visualize and debug data from your mobile apps. Flipper takes care of sending data back and forth, calling functions, and listening for events on the mobile app.
Contributing to Flipper
Both Flipper's desktop app, native mobile SDKs, JS SDKs are open-source and MIT licensed. This enables you to see and understand how we are building plugins, and of course, join the community and help to improve Flipper. We are excited to see what you will build on this platform.

Getting started
Please refer to our
Getting Started guide to set
up Flipper.
Or, (still experimental) run npx flipper-server for a browser based version of Flipper.
Requirements
- node >= 8
- yarn >= 1.5
- iOS developer tools (for developing iOS plugins)
- Android SDK and adb
Building from Source
Desktop
Running from source
git clone https://github.com/facebook/flipper.git
cd flipper/desktop
yarn
yarn start
NOTE: If you're on Windows, you need to use Yarn 1.5.1 until this issue is resolved.
Building standalone application
Provide either --mac, --win, --linux or any combination of them to
yarn build to build a release zip file for the given platform(s). E.g.
yarn build --mac --version $buildNumber
You can find the resulting artifact in the dist/ folder.
iOS SDK + Sample App
cd iOS/Sample
rm -f Podfile.lock
pod install --repo-update
open Sample.xcworkspace
<Run app from xcode>
You can omit --repo-update to speed up the installation, but watch out as you
may be building against outdated dependencies.
Android SDK + Sample app
Start up an android emulator and run the following in the project root:
./gradlew :sample:installDebug
React Native SDK + Sample app
cd react-native/ReactNativeFlipperExample
yarn
yarn android
Note that the first 2 steps need to be done only once.
Alternatively, the app can be started on iOS by running yarn ios.
If this is the first time running, you will also need to run
pod install --repo-update from the
react-native/ReactNativeFlipperExample/ios folder.
JS SDK + Sample React app
cd js/react-flipper-example
yarn
yarn start
Troubleshooting
Older yarn versions might show an error / hang with the message 'Waiting for the
other yarn instance to finish'. If that happens, run the command yarn first
separately in the directory react-native/react-native-flipper.
