[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#977685: node-jest: build routines are too brittle: build failures go undetected

Source: node-jest
Version: 26.6.3+repack+~cs61.38.31-3
Severity: serious

By accident I noticed that a release of node-jest with only changes to
package relations changed size from 8.5 megabytes to 500 kilobytes.

A closer examination of build logs seems to indicate failures to compile
TypeScript code into JavaScript.

Build logs are here: https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=node-jest&arch=all

  wget 'https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=node-jest&arch=all&ver=26.6.3%2Brepack%2B%7Ecs61.38.31-2&stamp=1607423417&raw=0'
  wget 'https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=node-jest&arch=all&ver=26.6.3%2Brepack%2B%7Ecs61.38.31-3&stamp=1608313404&raw=0'
  git diff --no-index fetch.php*

Detail from log comparison which seems important:

Setting severity=serious because packages should build reliably.
