jest:tldr:9a638
This command is related to running tests using the Jest testing framework.
The command structure is as follows:
jest --findRelatedTests ${path-to-source_file-js}
Here's a breakdown of what each part means:
-
jest
: This is the command to execute the Jest test runner. Jest is a popular JavaScript testing framework developed by Facebook. It provides an efficient and flexible way to run tests and perform assertions in JavaScript applications. -
--findRelatedTests
: This is a Jest option that allows you to find and run tests related to a specific source file. It helps narrow down the test execution to only those tests that are affected by changes made to the specified file. This can save a lot of time by avoiding running unnecessary tests. -
${path-to-source_file-js}
: This is the placeholder that you need to replace with the actual path to your JavaScript source file. It should be the path to the file for which you want to find and run related tests. Make sure to include the file extension as well (.js
).
So, when running this command with the appropriate path to a JavaScript file, Jest will analyze the source file and find and run all related tests. This can be helpful for a more focused and efficient testing workflow.
