Running a Single Jest Test
Jest runs tests in parallel by default, file by file.
That means if you add a .only
on an it
or describe
, that only applies in the context of a single file. So if you have a test suite with 5 different test files and execute tests with jest
, 4 test files will run all their tests and one file will run it's only
test.
If you want only a single test to run, you need to add that .only
and narrow jest's scope to that single test file: jest src/path/to/test.js
.
