Additional context

I have tested this on multiple versions of jest

FYI this bug would probably also happen if you did

mkdir .aoeu
echo yourmom > .aoeu/package.json

but I encountered this with Sapling.

I should probably update the Issue title to be more general

[vegerot]

workaround: deleting the corrupted package.json

[vegerot]

@SimenB Do you think it's a bug that an invalid JSON file name package.json anywhere in your project will cause any Jest test to fail?

If I'm working on a JSON validator and I have a few test files that are invalid I could not use Jest

It's worth thinking about better workarounds than deleting those files

[SimenB]

adding the invalid files to an ignore pattern seems fine if you want them?
