Tests outside of src folder shouldn't be run

[gaelollivier]

The README.md says:
The .test.js / .spec.js files (or the __tests__ folders) can be located at any depth under the src top level folder.

However, if I create a .spec.js in a e2e folder at the root of the project, it is still executed by npm test

I guess that's a bug. Right now I can workaround by overriding the testPathPattern parameter in my package.json: react-scripts test --env=jsdom --testPathPattern ./src\/.*

Interesting, thanks for writing up. I probably forgot to limit this. Now that I think of it I think maybe we should allow them to be in top level src, test, tests and __tests__.

Yup, as long as we can have e2e and integration tests living in the same repository, that seems fair

Is this issue still open? Can I jump on it?

This is a very annoying issue for us, since the workaround is adding --testPathPattern ./src\/.* to the test command but that makes jest runs all the tests at every change, and we can't filter by pattern.

If anyone has a better workaround that would be great !

Yes, please!
