neotest-jest

neotest-jest is a plugin that integrates Jest, the popular JavaScript testing framework, into the Neotest ecosystem for Neovim. It allows developers to run, debug, and manage Jest tests directly from their editor, streamlining the testing workflow without leaving the coding environment. ## Key Features - **Jest Integration** — Seamlessly runs Jest tests within Neovim using the Neotest framework. - **Flexible Configuration** — Supports custom Jest commands, arguments, config files, environment variables, and working directories. - **Watch Mode Support** — Enables running tests in Jest's watch mode for continuous feedback. - **Parameterized Test Discovery** — Can discover and run parameterized tests created with `it.each` or `test.each`. - **Monorepo Support** — Provides configuration options for handling monorepo structures with multiple Jest configurations. - **Debugging Capabilities** — Integrates with nvim-dap for debugging Jest tests directly in Neovim. ## Philosophy neotest-jest aims to provide a robust and configurable bridge between Jest and Neovim, following the Neotest philosophy of creating a unified testing experience within the editor.
