 Make sure you are not using the `babel-plugin-istanbul` plugin. Jest wraps Istanbul, and therefore also tells Istanbul what files to instrument with coverage collection. When using `babel-plugin-istanbul`, every file that is processed by Babel will have coverage collection code, hence it is not being ignored by `coveragePathIgnorePatterns`.
 
+## Defining Tests
+
+Tests much be defined synchronously for Jest to be able to collect your tests.
+
+This means when you are using `test.each` you cannot set the table asynchronously within a `beforeEach` / `beforeAll`.
+
+As an example to show why this is the case, imagine we wrote a test like so:
+
+```js
+// Don't do this it will not work
+setTimeout(() => {
+  it('passes', () => expect(1).toBe(1));
+}, 0);
+```
+
+When Jest runs your test to collect the `test`s it will not find any because we have set the definition to happen asynchronously on the next tick of the event loop.
