All tests are re-run when using --testPathPattern

[gaelollivier]

When running jest with --testPathPattern src/.* or just jest [pattern], all tests are re-run when changing a file, whereas without these options only the relevant tests (related to the file that changed) are run.

I'm not sure if I'm doing it right but this is quite annoying because of this issue. If there is a better workaround to prevent tests file from outside src/ to be run in create-react-app while having only the relevant files run on changes, I would really appreciate it ! :)

Are you talking about --watch mode?

[gaelollivier]

Yep, sorry I didn't mention it because it's default with create-react-app "test" command

I guess this is a duplicate of #1860 If we implement this, it should respect the argument coming from the cli.
