The optimal flow for Jest based testing in VS Code

vscode-jest

This is a WIP, this README represents what I want, not what it is yet.

The Aim

A comprehensive experience when using Jest with a project.

• Useful Feedback
• Session based test watching

Feedback

• Inline information

• Test files should ideally have related tests highlighted

• Related files should have a pass/fail indicator

• Could potentially use the @code fail/warning system for fails or it can add it's own information on green/red, clicking should bring them up

• Should be able to see all info from the run inside an output panel, incase you want to work and get insta-feedback inline

Session based watching

• Opening a project with Jest should start to run the tests by default, you should be able to opt out
• Should be able to declare what the command to run jest should look like
• Closing a project, should close the tests
