Does this answer your question? [watchman.plist permission denied when running a react-native initial project](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34245678/watchman-plist-permission-denied-when-running-a-react-native-initial-project) — Andrew Lohr, Aug 16 '21 at 15:28

Check your Library folder. Is LaunchAgents a file or a folder? In my case it was a file, but needed to be a folder. When I deleted the file and created a folder of the same name the Jest tests started working
