title: Jest CLI Options | ||
original_id: cli | ||
--- | ||
|
||
The `jest` command line runner has a number of useful options. You can run | ||
`jest --help` to view all available options. Many of the options shown below can | ||
also be used together to run tests exactly the way you want. Every one of Jest's | ||
[Configuration](Configuration.md) options can also be specified through the CLI. | ||
|
||
Here is a brief overview: | ||
|
||
## Running from the command line | ||
|
||
Run all tests (default): | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
jest | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Run only the tests that were specified with a pattern or filename: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
jest my-test #or | ||
jest path/to/my-test.js | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Run tests related to changed files based on hg/git (uncommitted files): | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
jest -o | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Run tests related to `path/to/fileA.js` and `path/to/fileB.js`: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
jest --findRelatedTests path/to/fileA.js path/to/fileB.js | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Run tests that match this spec name (match against the name in `describe` or | ||
`test`, basically). | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
jest -t name-of-spec | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Run watch mode: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
jest --watch #runs jest -o by default | ||
jest --watchAll #runs all tests | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Watch mode also enables to specify the name or path to a file to focus on a | ||
specific set of tests. | ||
|
||
## Using with yarn | ||
|
||
If you run Jest via `yarn test`, you can pass the command line arguments | ||
directly as Jest arguments. | ||
|
||
Instead of: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
jest -u -t="ColorPicker" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
you can use: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
yarn test -u -t="ColorPicker" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Using with npm scripts | ||
|
||
If you run Jest via `npm test`, you can still use the command line arguments by | ||
inserting a `--` between `npm test` and the Jest arguments. | ||
|
||
Instead of: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
jest -u -t="ColorPicker" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
you can use: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
npm test -- -u -t="ColorPicker" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Options | ||
|
||
_Note: CLI options take precedence over values from the | ||
[Configuration](Configuration.md)._ | ||

||
## Reference | ||
|
||
### `jest <regexForTestFiles>` | ||
|
||
When you run `jest` with an argument, that argument is treated as a regular | ||
expression to match against files in your project. It is possible to run test | ||
suites by providing a pattern. Only the files that the pattern matches will be | ||
picked up and executed. Depending on your terminal, you may need to quote this | ||
argument: `jest "my.*(complex)?pattern"`. On Windows, you will need to use `/` | ||
as a path separator or escape `\` as `\\`. | ||
|
||
### `--bail` | ||
|
||
Alias: `-b`. Exit the test suite immediately upon the first failing test suite. | ||
|
||
### `--cache` | ||
|
||
Whether to use the cache. Defaults to true. Disable the cache using | ||
`--no-cache`. _Note: the cache should only be disabled if you are experiencing | ||
caching related problems. On average, disabling the cache makes Jest at least | ||
two times slower._ | ||
|
||
If you want to inspect the cache, use `--showConfig` and look at the | ||
`cacheDirectory` value. If you need to clear the cache, use `--clearCache`. | ||
|
||
### `--changedFilesWithAncestor` | ||
|
||
Runs tests related to the current changes and the changes made in the last | ||
commit. Behaves similarly to `--onlyChanged`. | ||
|
||
### `--changedSince` | ||
|
||
Runs tests related the changes since the provided branch. If the current branch | ||
has diverged from the given branch, then only changes made locally will be | ||
tested. Behaves similarly to `--onlyChanged`. | ||
|
||
### `--ci` | ||
|
||
When this option is provided, Jest will assume it is running in a CI | ||
environment. This changes the behavior when a new snapshot is encountered. | ||
Instead of the regular behavior of storing a new snapshot automatically, it will | ||
fail the test and require Jest to be run with `--updateSnapshot`. | ||
|
||
### `--clearCache` | ||
|
||
Deletes the Jest cache directory and then exits without running tests. Will | ||
delete `cacheDirectory` if the option is passed, or Jest's default cache | ||
directory. The default cache directory can be found by calling | ||
`jest --showConfig`. _Note: clearing the cache will reduce performance._ | ||
|
||
### `--collectCoverageFrom=<glob>` | ||
|
||
A glob pattern relative to <rootDir> matching the files that coverage info needs | ||
to be collected from. | ||
|
||
### `--colors` | ||
|
||
Forces test results output highlighting even if stdout is not a TTY. | ||
|
||
### `--config=<path>` | ||
|
||
Alias: `-c`. The path to a Jest config file specifying how to find and execute | ||
tests. If no `rootDir` is set in the config, the current directory is assumed to | ||
be the rootDir for the project. This can also be a JSON-encoded value which Jest | ||
will use as configuration. | ||
|
||
### `--coverage` | ||
|
||
Indicates that test coverage information should be collected and reported in the | ||
output. | ||
|
||
### `--debug` | ||
|
||
Print debugging info about your Jest config. | ||
|
||
### `--detectOpenHandles` | ||
|
||
Attempt to collect and print open handles preventing Jest from exiting cleanly. | ||
Use this in cases where you need to use `--forceExit` in order for Jest to exit | ||
to potentially track down the reason. Implemented using | ||
[`async_hooks`](https://nodejs.org/api/async_hooks.html), so it only works in | ||
Node 8 and newer. | ||
|
||
### `--env=<environment>` | ||
|
||
The test environment used for all tests. This can point to any file or node | ||
module. Examples: `jsdom`, `node` or `path/to/my-environment.js`. | ||
|
||
### `--expand` | ||
|
||
Alias: `-e`. Use this flag to show full diffs and errors instead of a patch. | ||
|
||
### `--findRelatedTests <spaceSeparatedListOfSourceFiles>` | ||
|
||
Find and run the tests that cover a space separated list of source files that | ||
were passed in as arguments. Useful for pre-commit hook integration to run the | ||
minimal amount of tests necessary. Can be used together with `--coverage` to | ||
include a test coverage for the source files, no duplicate | ||
`--collectCoverageFrom` arguments needed. | ||
|
||
### `--forceExit` | ||
|
||
Force Jest to exit after all tests have completed running. This is useful when | ||
resources set up by test code cannot be adequately cleaned up. _Note: This | ||
feature is an escape-hatch. If Jest doesn't exit at the end of a test run, it | ||
means external resources are still being held on to or timers are still pending | ||
in your code. It is advised to tear down external resources after each test to | ||
make sure Jest can shut down cleanly. You can use `--detectOpenHandles` to help | ||
track it down._ | ||
|
||
### `--help` | ||
|
||
Show the help information, similar to this page. | ||
|
||
### `--json` | ||
|
||
Prints the test results in JSON. This mode will send all other test output and | ||
user messages to stderr. | ||
|
||
### `--outputFile=<filename>` | ||
|
||
Write test results to a file when the `--json` option is also specified. | ||
|
||
### `--lastCommit` | ||
|
||
Run all tests affected by file changes in the last commit made. Behaves | ||
similarly to `--onlyChanged`. | ||
|
||
### `--listTests` | ||
|
||
Lists all tests as JSON that Jest will run given the arguments, and exits. This | ||
can be used together with `--findRelatedTests` to know which tests Jest will | ||
run. | ||
|
||
### `--logHeapUsage` | ||
|
||
Logs the heap usage after every test. Useful to debug memory leaks. Use together | ||
with `--runInBand` and `--expose-gc` in node. | ||
|
||
### `--maxWorkers=<num>` | ||
|
||
Alias: `-w`. Specifies the maximum number of workers the worker-pool will spawn | ||
for running tests. This defaults to the number of the cores available on your | ||
machine. It may be useful to adjust this in resource limited environments like | ||
CIs but the default should be adequate for most use-cases. | ||
|
||
### `--noStackTrace` | ||
|
||
Disables stack trace in test results output. | ||
|
||
### `--notify` | ||
|
||
Activates notifications for test results. Good for when you don't want your | ||
consciousness to be able to focus on anything except JavaScript testing. | ||
|
||
### `--onlyChanged` | ||
|
||
Alias: `-o`. Attempts to identify which tests to run based on which files have | ||
changed in the current repository. Only works if you're running tests in a | ||
git/hg repository at the moment and requires a static dependency graph (ie. no | ||
dynamic requires). | ||
|
||
### `--passWithNoTests` | ||
|
||
Allows the test suite to pass when no files are found. | ||
|
||
### `--projects <project1> ... <projectN>` | ||
|
||
Run tests from one or more projects. | ||
|
||
### `--runInBand` | ||
|
||
Alias: `-i`. Run all tests serially in the current process, rather than creating | ||
a worker pool of child processes that run tests. This can be useful for | ||
debugging. | ||
|
||
### `--setupTestFrameworkScriptFile=<file>` | ||
|
||
The path to a module that runs some code to configure or set up the testing | ||
framework before each test. Beware that files imported by the setup script will | ||
not be mocked during testing. | ||
|
||
### `--showConfig` | ||
|
||
Print your Jest config and then exits. | ||
|
||
### `--silent` | ||
|
||
Prevent tests from printing messages through the console. | ||
|
||
### `--testNamePattern=<regex>` | ||
|
||
Alias: `-t`. Run only tests with a name that matches the regex. For example, | ||
suppose you want to run only tests related to authorization which will have | ||
names like `"GET /api/posts with auth"`, then you can use `jest -t=auth`. | ||
|
||
_Note: The regex is matched against the full name, which is a combination of the | ||
test name and all its surrounding describe blocks._ | ||
|
||
### `--testLocationInResults` | ||
|
||
Adds a `location` field to test results. Useful if you want to report the | ||
location of a test in a reporter. | ||
|
||
Note that `column` is 0-indexed while `line` is not. | ||
|
||
```json | ||
{ | ||
"column": 4, | ||
"line": 5 | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### `--testPathPattern=<regex>` | ||
|
||
A regexp pattern string that is matched against all tests paths before executing | ||
the test. On Windows, you will need to use `/` as a path separator or escape `\` | ||
as `\\`. | ||
|
||
### `--testRunner=<path>` | ||
|
||
Lets you specify a custom test runner. | ||
|
||
### `--updateSnapshot` | ||
|
||
Alias: `-u`. Use this flag to re-record every snapshot that fails during this | ||
test run. Can be used together with a test suite pattern or with | ||
`--testNamePattern` to re-record snapshots. | ||
|
||
### `--useStderr` | ||
|
||
Divert all output to stderr. | ||
|
||
### `--verbose` | ||
|
||
Display individual test results with the test suite hierarchy. | ||
|
||
### `--version` | ||
|
||
Alias: `-v`. Print the version and exit. | ||
|
||
### `--watch` | ||
|
||
Watch files for changes and rerun tests related to changed files. If you want to | ||
re-run all tests when a file has changed, use the `--watchAll` option instead. | ||
|
||
### `--watchAll` | ||
|
||
Watch files for changes and rerun all tests when something changes. If you want | ||
to re-run only the tests that depend on the changed files, use the `--watch` | ||
option. | ||
|
||
### `--watchman` | ||
|
||
Whether to use watchman for file crawling. Defaults to true. Disable using | ||
`--no-watchman`. |
