Jest: Question / feature request: running a specific test
Is there a way to run a specific test in a specific file, e.g.
jest Foo:142
Meaning run the first file matching Foo and specifically the test located at line 142?

you can't do it from CLI, but you can run the test matching Foo by doing jest Foo and focusing your specific test by using fit instead of it

Nice, that definitely satisfies the need. Thanks! I see that's a Jasmine feature, might be worth a mention in the docs somewhere...

we have in the docs in under the jest global environment :)
i was also thinking about bringing back the old API it.only, test.only, describe.only, just to reduce the number of globals

We definitely need ftest or test.only.

Could you reopen this issue? Migrating from AVA to Jest, and the test.only syntax is the only thing I miss.

test.only will be added in 15.2. For now use fit.

@AriaFallah they're not documented yet, but you can see the full list of new globals in https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/1632
