JEST_RUNNER_VSCODE_TEST_REGEXThe pattern Jest uses to detect test files.
Example
envsettings:"env": { "JEST_RUNNER_VSCODE_TEST_REGEX": "${file}", }
JEST_RUNNER_VSCODE_UPDATE_SNAPSHOTSUse this to re-record every snapshot that fails during this test run. Can be used together with JEST_RUNNER_VSCODE_TEST_REGEX to re-record snapshots.
Example
envsettings:"env": { "JEST_RUNNER_VSCODE_UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS": "true", }
JEST_RUNNER_VSCODE_SETUPThe path to a module that runs some code to configure or set up the testing framework before each test. You can use this to mock VS Code APIs, such as forcing the getConfiguration API to use an in-memory cache vs. interacting with the file system (see shifty example).
Example
envsettings:"env": { "JEST_RUNNER_VSCODE_SETUP": "${workspaceFolder}/dist/test-utils/jest-runner-vscode-setup.js", }
