Allow Regular Expressions in Jest Runner

[a-dilettante]

• This change has been discussed in issue Allow Regular Expressions in Jest Runner #1081 and the solution has been agreed upon with maintainers.

---

Description:

Jest allows you to provide a regex pattern in order to run tests. Unfortunately I am unable to get the tests to run when the regex pattern is passed to Jest.

In the Jest documentation it's mentioned that:

Depending on your terminal, you may need to quote this argument: jest "my.*(complex)?pattern"

The proposed solution wraps the file argument in quotation marks to in order to support regex patterns along side specifying a file path.

Hi @DanielMSchmidt, is there any movement on this?

Thanks

[DanielMSchmidt]

Sorry, had a lot to do the other day, I'm going to check this right now 💪

[DanielMSchmidt]

Thank you for your help. The PR seems fine, what do you think @rotemmiz?

[rotemmiz]

How will it integrate with your refactor @DanielMSchmidt ?

• Why not just add the quotes inside the command itself?

@rotemmiz I will add it there if we merge this branch
