Interactive mode for all failing tests

[alisabzevari]

🚀 Feature Proposal

Jest's interactive snapshot mode is awesome. Would it be possible to enable a similar feature to interactively run every failing test one-by-one?

Motivation

When changing something that breaks a lot of tests, I have to run all the tests to find the failing tests and try to fix them one-by-one (either fixing test or the code). Then I have to run all the failing tests again to make sure it is now fixed. Another way would be to run tests separated by files or test names (which is also painful). I was wondering whether it is possible to have the interactive mode for non-snapshot tests? To run every failing test one-by-one and proceed to next test when the user decides to or when the test passed.

I think this feature should belong to jest-cli but I didn't know where to create an issue for that.

Thanks for the suggestion!

You're in the right place, this repo contains all parts of Jest, including jest-cli :)

I really want this feature to be added. Its one of the things that have been bugging me for well over a year now. If a standard could be agreed on I wouldn't mind putting in the elbow grease to make it happen.

Personally, I wouldn't mind interactive mode including failed tests in general (same i hotkey in watch mode). Adding another flag seems redundant and would reduce the number of hotkeys to remember.

I'm not opposed to this feature being added :) @thymikee @SimenB just in case someone has concerns.
But it's definitely not a small thing to implement.

I'd agree with using the same i hotkey to step through all failing tests.
There's the edge case we need to look at where some of the failing tests are snapshot failures and some are not.
Options:

• Step through snapshots with update options first, then step through regular failures
• Other way around, step through non-snapshot failures first
• Step through snapshots only (once all resolved will have to press i againto go through normal failures; thei` button description changes depending on whether there are snapshot failures)
