Description

After running the following commands:

fastify generate fastify-test --lang=ts
cd fastify-test
npm install

I encountered an error when executing the npm test command:

Could not find '/home/leo/test/fastify-test/test/**/*.ts'

To fix this issue, I modified the test script in package.json by removing the double quotes around the file path:

- "test": "npm run build:ts && tsc -p test/tsconfig.json && c8 node --test -r ts-node/register \"test/**/*.ts\"",
+ "test": "npm run build:ts && tsc -p test/tsconfig.json && c8 node --test -r ts-node/register test/**/*.ts",

After making this change, the error was resolved, and the tests ran without issues.

Upon further investigation, I discovered PR #708 and learned that for Node.js versions prior to 21, commands with double quotes around file paths don't work correctly, and such versions (without double quotes) can only identify files at the first directory level. However, in Node.js versions 21 and later, commands work both with and without double quotes. Moreover, using double quotes allows files at deeper directory levels to be recognized.

TL;DR: To run tests reliably, use Node.js version 21 or newer.
