How can I run Jest test in band with the VSCode extension?

Question

I want to run the Jest tests in band, because otherwise they will cause errors.

But I have no clue how to solve that problem. It works everything fine when I run the tests with the command line.

Answer 1

In VSCode settings, change the Jest: Path to Jest to the command line you're running. For example:

npm test -- --runInBand

Answer 2

In new version of vscode jest.pathToJest is deprecated, instead you should set jest.jestCommandLine . You can either use the settings panel to set the value for the jestCommandLine . like this:

Or you can manually update the settings.json like this:

"jest.jestCommandLine": "\"./node_modules/.bin/jest\" --runInBand"
