VSCode Jest Extensions

[Cammisuli]

With the introduction of Nx 10.3.0, we enabled support to run Jest tests within the VSCode UI powered by Jest extensions. By default we recommend use this extension:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=firsttris.vscode-jest-runner

We recommend this extension because it allows you to run 1 Jest test/suite/file at a time. This scales better with hundreds of Nx projects.

The most popular extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Orta.vscode-jest) will work, but keep in mind that it would run all tests in the workspace by default. This means that if there are 100 projects, 100 test suites will be ran. This can have some potential performance issues if your computer isn't up to the task of running all those tests.

If you're looking for a more "Webstorm" ui, we can also recommend this extension:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kavod-io.vscode-jest-test-adapter
