Typescript - Testing with Jest outside of __tests__ directory

I want to be able to execute my tests outside of __tests__ directory. Currently, I have my test files alongside the src code. Inside somefile.test.ts I have tests A, B and C. If try to run the C test from the gutter icon, I get the following error:

back-end is the root directory.

Also, the option to create a test file from the context menu is missing when right click somefile.ts:

You have to configure Jest accordingly; what does your jest.config.js look like?

See https://jestjs.io/docs/configuration#testmatch-arraystring, https://jestjs.io/docs/configuration#roots-arraystring

I just needed to add @types/jest to the javascript libraries.

Hmm... Not sure what the JavaScript libraries have to do with your initial problem; they only affect code completion/types resolving in the editor but aren't required for the tests to run
