How to run a specific test with Create React App
You can use the name of the file in the command, and it will run only it.
For example:
npm test src/App.test.js
I have done this by using --
to pass custom arguments to the npm script.
Documentation on this option can be found here: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/run-script
So, to run a single test in a create-react-app application, I run the following:
npm run test -- -t 'test-name'
Where test-name
is the value used in the describe function in jest -
describe('test-name', () => {
it('does something', () => { ... });
});
