Specify a single test file to run with Jest

[thangngoc89]

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

This is a feature request

What is the current behavior?
I can't specify a single test file to run with Jest

What is the expected behavior?
I'm migrating test files from AVA to Jest and with AVA I can do this ava path/to/test/file.js. It's pretty handy when you run integration test after a build.

I'll try to explain my situation here and maybe you can help me with a work around.

I have integration test in

__tests__/*.js

My unit tests are in

src/**/__tests__/*.js

My current Jest setup in package.json (I filtered out the non-relevant part)

"jest": {
    "preprocessorIgnorePatterns": [
      "node_modules"
    ],
    "testPathDirs": [
      "src"
    ],
  }

Do you have any workaround that I can use to run integration tests without running unit tests?

---

Update

I renamed my integration tests folder to integration-tests. After reading some Jest's test file, I find out that I can pass a testRegex like to from CLI:

jest --config '{"testRegex": "integration-tests"}'

Writing JSON is always tedious. Do you guys thing this should be improve? Should testRegex be a CLI flag?

hey @thangngoc89!
you can pass a testRegex directly to cli

jest integration-tests should just work!
